Fabulous meal! Great service!

Leticia was a very helpful, attentive and personable server. She knew the menu and helped us choose the perfect meal. The food was fantastic. Thank you! We had the wagu beef burger and the black bean quinoa burger! Delicious! The craft beverages were a hit!


Chef Dee is the best!

I can't say enough about Chef Dee and our Culinary Cooking Class experience. We've come back for several years, and Dee greeted us like old friends. She is super organized - you can tell she'd spent hours organizing and prepping for our class. She picks great meals and demonstrates them...

Staycation

Overall a nice quaint place to get away. Nice amenities and restaurants all in one location. Rooms are cozy the beds are not the most comfortable but sufficient. Would be nice if the fireplace actually put off heat for those cold winter days.


Wonderful Wintertime Getaway

Lovely place. The facilities are wonderful. The Spa was quite relaxing. The room in the Manor was cozy and came with a wood stove. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, especially T.J.! The summer will be just as fantastic and we look forward to returning then as well!

Wonderful experience!

Our cooking class with Denise was great! We created a delicious meal with her guidance and learned lots of cooking tips. The format was unique in that Chef Deedee demonstrated how to cook the dishes but let us experiment all with her assistance. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!!
