We were met by Sarah, a really wonderful lady. And then, her boss showed up! Chelsea is just as friendly as Sarah. What a wonderful greeting. The grounds were great. There’s a pool, a little dog park and even a pool table!! And, right at the exit onto Route 1, is a yummy, beautiful, bougie breakfast spot. What a selection!
