I had a delightful stay at this unique resort. The historical charm of the property was captivating, and I appreciated the well-maintained amenities. The dining experience was exceptional, with delicious homemade food, particularly the blackened ribeye. However, I did notice that some of the room amenities could use a little updating to match the high standards of the rest of the resort.
