"Beautiful spot with an elevated view and a feeling like you are away from everything, yet so close to town and Byron. Grounds are very well maintained, great pool and bird life and the rooms are lovely. If in the main house, you do share with others but rooms are distanced and it feels secure due to heavy doors and the lock systems in place. There is shared areas that are really nice"
