Amazing!!! The casita was adorable and the grounds were very pretty! The staff were very helpful. My only advice is to not risk your life by ever turning left onto Highway 1 from the property entrance. There is no visibility for oncoming traffic which will be coming toward you at a very high rate of speed, so much safer just to take a right and make a U-turn in a safe spot down the road. This only applies to exiting the property. This was a wonderful place to stay! Would definitely recommend and would totally stay there again. Very relaxing!

We stayed in the inn, not a cabin. It was fine but definitely not the most comfortable place I’ve stayed. We were in town in a busy weekend and it was pretty pricey. Location was good and I liked the river sounds if you opened the sliding glass door. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

It is a small quite clean motel kind of set up. The age of the building is very visible and clear but cleanliness is good and it is a beautiful location with a creek flowing right behind. So I will highly recommend unless you are very focused on a high star accommodation
