Each time I'm sure the grounds can't be more immaculate and beautiful, the rooms better accomodated, the food more delicious, the staff more friendly and attentive, the room and laundry service more efficient.

Galen Briggs, the owner, is located... more

Long leisurly dinners at a large rectangular family with 15 or so family members - the children were comfortable, visiting the buffet often for Fanta, kid-friendly food and wonderful ice cream. The adults leisurly sat at the table drinking wine, telling stories and feeling at home for a couple of hours at night. During the day the many different ages... more
