We had a wonderful stay here. As a family of 6, the 2 bedroom suite was perfect for our size. We enjoyed the hot tub and indoor pool during our stay. Mt kids loved getting to see the goats on the property too. The cafe and the Lazy Goat Tavern were great too. We would love to satay here again next time we are in the area.
