The pond at the waterfall was incredible! While swimming in the pond, the perspective of the surrounding beauty of the trees and sky felt like paradise. Would return for sure.

Lush waterfall oasis
Even better in person than in the pictures. Have a private waterfall to yourselves in a serene, lush setting. Great setting, great people, perfect way to have a quiet getaway.

Our room was sold as a full view of the falls from our balcony, but there was a roof line extended from below our balcony that obstructed the full view of the falls. The room space was a little smaller than expected. The grounds were great, the waterfall was beautiful. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly. The linens (primarily towels and wash cloth) needed to be updated/replaced. The outdoor dining area fell very short of it's potential. Such a beautiful location, but the design and architecture looked like a poorly executed afterthought.

Beautiful Spot, But Room Issues and Poor Response
First the good - this is an absolutely beautiful spot. The food was amazing - we did the special chef's dinner - and breakfast was made-to-order. But, my room left a lot to be desired. The bed was comfortable enough, but the pillows were flat and looked like they were from the 80s. And I had no shower pressure in the morning. When I mentioned by disappointment, they flipped it back on me, saying they would not give me a discount because I hadn't reached out in the moment and let them try to fix it. For $320 a night, I shouldn't have to be calling the inn late at night to get proper pillows, nor calling first thing in the morning to be told I could "take a shower in another room" when we were in a hurry to make our breakfast reservation and check out. They offered me a $100 gift card for a return stay. That will not be happening.

The Inn is on a beautiful property that is accessed via a gate protected private road. The waterfall is amazing and very peaceful. It is not your standard hotel as there is no TV or standard amenities, however there is a common area kitchen space with shared refrigeration and appliances.
