We went on a nature hike up the mountain, and went to the Viking mound. The overall vibe is so relaxing. ...” - Paula United States“We enjoyed our stay. The view from our room was beautiful. Our room in the old building was well appointed and comfortable. It seemed recently renovated and doesn't match the dingy description cited by others. You're paying for the destination....”
