"Pleasant visit, disappointing grounds."

Our room accommodations were good, our host helpful. Our walk around the grounds were disappointing. Realize it's been a tough year, but the grounds were basically neglected, there were bathrooms under the deck outside the eating area, that were out of order, the doors were open and the rooms full of leaves. The hall there was covered in dirt dobber nests. I'm sure it's a lot to manage but it's getting away from you. I'm not trying to be ugly, just honest assessment, if you really want to impress your visitors. Cordially Randy Chapman.
