This place is like nothing I have been to before. We arrived at night so it was dark and we couldnt see the view. The owners were gracious enough to invite us to the Thanksgiving dinner they had at their restaurant for close friends and staff and we had a blast, not to mention the best Thanksgiving dinner...We woke up... more
