Rooms was comfy and the shower head was at least 7 feet up. Tall people will definitely appreciate this. We enjoyed roaming the property and riding bikes. The horses are beautiful when they are grazing the pastures. Breakfast was wonderful. So much to choose from. Will definitely return if in the area.
