Everything about this group you say except for one thing was great. The water that was potable , either had just been treated or had extreme high amount of chlorine in it.

Beautiful place. We were having a wedding and bath rooms needed cleaning. The grounds keeper, Chris, was awesome. He came right away, did a great job and was very friendly. It was the perfect location and facility.
