I liked the fireplace but there was no wood. We had to run out and buy it. The heater didnt heeat above 66. There was not any fireplace tools like poker little shovel etc. No water like most places give 2 waters. Only 2 decaf coffees. We like caffeine. Very disappointed. No one here to talk to about it.
This is a very non conventional, well appointed, scenic and peaceful place with loads of central areas for guests to enjoy! It’s very different from your ordinary B&B, resort or hotel.
Be sure you know what floor you require as there are three levels and no elevator. And know that though there are fireplaces shown and jacuzzi style tubs listed in some rooms, the owner or management request that you don’t use them. Having noted that as a heads-up, you can’t go wrong. The place itself and the surroundings are very charming and scenic! I’d go back for sure.
We had some difficulties getting the lock to operate and the door was hard to open. However, we enjoyed the accommodation. We would have liked having a toaster. Spectacular views!!
We booked the honeymoon suite specifically for the soaking tub. It was pouring rain on our drive to this place. On our way up we got a message about bringing your own water because you can’t drink their water and bring food - which we had. One of either and hadn’t eaten dinner. Also how to get in as there are no staff on site. Which means they give u a digital code then u have to use your thumb print (which I don’t like- none of your business what my thumb print is!) We get to our room - barely as there is no light inside the building and stairs to a narrow hall. There was 1 other person staying and of course had to be across the hall from our room. Use the digital code and thumb print Lalique again to get into the room only to find a very small room - NOT the honeymoon suite. NO soaking tub! Not to mention this place gives of vibes of every murder movie I’ve ever seen. We did arrive in the evening but it was creepy. We called hotels.com to try and get a refund as it wasn’t the room we paid for and didn’t know we needed food and water, again it was pouring rain, we had a rental car and the windshield wipers weren’t great and the road to this place is 2 land, windy and DARK. We ere places on hold while they contacted the hotel. They came back saying the hotel denied our refund request. I called the hotel direct and was told by the lady I spoke to she would talk to the manager as we had just booked the room 1 hour prior and never heard back.
It was amazing place. I would definitely stay again. It had everything you needed. Loved how historical it was.

The property could use a good sprucing up. I understand it is in the woods but it needs cleaning up, the pictures on Expedia look nothing like what I saw. In my room it seems the shower was an afterthought, a shower head sticking out of the wall over the jacuzzi. A shower mat would be a good idea as I almost fell while showering.
Beautiful room! Very clean and quiet. I will definitely be back!

I liked the room, but it was very difficult to plug in devices for recharging. I was never able to figure out how to watch the TV. There was a prompt response to a text I sent. The balcony was quite nice. Thankfully it looked out on a lovely mountain side. This was fortunate since the curtains would not close.

Only the deck view and dining area were exactly like pictures. We were excited to go, but when we got there it was nothing like we expected. It was a creaky building, took a few minutes to figure out how to get into it. Had to call and they didn’t seem like they wanted to help. The bed was extremely high off the ground and had trouble getting into it. There was hardly any water pressure. I paid extra for a room because it was supposed to have a Mountain View and it really didn’t. It was pretty clean besides a few bugs which is normal for the area.
Had the entire building to myself, not even any staff, in a colonial-style building with charm. Very quiet, beautiful views from chairs on balcony.

The place was in a beautiful setting. Decorated superbly. Loved the themed doors and rooms.
Difficult for many guest to use the locks. We helped one couple how to use the light in room.
People would leave the main door ajar. And also saw/smelled guest smoking dope on grounds. A person just needs to be there.
The cabin had a beautiful view but, it had used tampons in the trash with a horrible smell, the pillows had pins in it that stabbed you every time you moved, and the TV had damage.
Beautiful view from the Lucy Morgan suite!! Very clean!! Secluded with an overlook deck in the fourth floor. Beautifully decorated lobby(first floor). Gorgeous Koi pond. Steep stairs and no elevator. No staff on property; however, I did call when I first got there to make sure I was in the right place as there are no signs or anything. They were very nice and allowed me early check-in. I would stay here again!!
