“The complimentary breakfast was delicious. And we loved the sandwiches and soup as well as the tea and coffee served in the library throughout the day. My husband and I absolutely loved the dinners we had there as well! We had the most amazing scallops as well as the venison rack and they were both cooked perfectly.”
—Shelby B.
