Loved spending time on the little outdoor patio/balcony in the evenings. A family of deer graced us with their presence one night, which we enjoyed. A little strange having to wear a wristband all weekend but maybe a better solution can be found to identify guests in the future...?"

Everyone slept comfortably and there were plenty of beds for all! The kids enjoyed running around the grounds.
