The new owners are amazing. They are very kind and helpful. They are doing everything in their power to make it a better place. Huge upgrades! I have stayed here for a week every two months for the last year. Huge difference (in a good way) every visit. Not to mention, a guest next door had a medical emergency and the owner sat with her (and I) for over half an hour waiting for the ambulance. Very calming and caring.
