Used to be better
This is our second time staying. Since the last time they have done away with the free continental breakfast. The room did not seem extremely clean. There were cobwebs in the windows that had been there quite a while.
Maid service never showed up for scheduled time. Had to request extra towels because we expected the room to be cleaned.
We will look for other options going forward.

Celebrating my wife's birthday
The accommodations are very nice with spacious rooms and a very large bathroom including a large shower room and a large tub. Two sinks are provided. The king-sized beds are comfortable and there is a round dining table with a comfortable couch facing a large TV screen and electric fireplace. The outside sitting area facing the vineyard is very comfortable enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sun set . The pool are is very comfortable and adjacent to the outdoor Vineyard grill that servers lunch ,
