Incredibly accommodating and friendly staff. Super helpful. Kids enjoyed the pool. Rooms were clean and spacious. Not a single complaint from this travel weary family of four. A great way to end our staycation.

Great place to spend the night or a weekend. Beds are awesome with good pillows. The rooms are clean. Walls are classic wood paneling. There are swings and a basket ball net, pool and a hot tub. In the restaurant, the food and service are great. Portions are good and tasty. The art in the restaurant is nice. There are brick bbq pits you can use. The bars on some of the pits are too high and can't get close enough to the coals. The rooms have no a/c. The tv is an old CRT so no HDMI hook up for a Nintendo Switch. The fridge is a small bar fridge. The stove is a two burner gas stove. The toaster in

During staycation year, we had a hiccup with our weekend travel plans due to the ferries going on strike so I called here on a Wednesday for a Friday 3 night reservation and I was in luck! They had one room left where the beds were in a separate space from the kitchen so once the kids go to sleep, we could close the door to play some crib or go out on the back patio no prob. From the shared patio you could see the pool and walk down to it. There were other rooms on the other side with patios on the front so access to the pool wasn't as easy because you'd have to walk around the whole building.

Did not stay in the model, but stopped in the restaurant on our way through Terra Nova. The restaurant was quite nice and the waitress we had was a really nice lady :) The food was pretty good, and their coconut cream pie was also quite tasty. I was quite amused by all the artwork they have hanging inside (and its for sale too!). My cell wasn't working and I was trying to book a golf tee time, and the waitress called down there for me and scheduled me my tee time. Nice people :)
