“I was especially struck by the staff's uncommon blend of professionalism and genuine warmth; then there's the gourmet meals, almost Michelin-worthy, and the views of the gorge from many vantage points. It seems to me a certain gracious tranquility permeates the whole experience. This is clearly a very special place.”
