A Lovely & Delicious Stay in a Magical Place! Thank you Christie and Tim for a wonderful stay for our anniversary! The Gilbert Mansion is truly a beautiful, unique, and welcoming place. We so appreciated your hospitality and the tastiest (and most artistically presented) breakfast we've had in a long time! You went to extraordinary lengths to make sure we had everything we needed (& wanted) - from a glass of wine in the evening to your musically disappearing freshly baked cookies! Highly recommend a stay at Gilbert Mansion! - Cara Wright
Absolutely love staying here! I typically try to avoid hotels, if possible, but this hotel breaks my rule. SO clean! Very spacious rooms! Everyone has always been kind, and we have stayed here 4 times. Great hot breakfast options, and very inviting breakfast space. We love the warmer kiddie pool option. Definitely try the restaurant, too! We were very impressed with food options, and prices. Our server, Faye, was fantastic! - Steph Oyloe
Traveling across the country with pets and this place was amazing. We stayed in the 3 bedroom ground and it made dealing with animals and our kids so easy. Service was spot on and the level of courtesy from the staff was next level. The rooms were better than staying in a 5 star hotel in my opinion. When traveling through again will definitely make this a stop for the night. - Jeff Campbell
Stayed in a golf villa with my 3 tween/teen kids. The villa was perfect for all our needs and had been updated compared to online photos. The lake is beautiful, clear, and shallow a long way off shore. Lots of included amenities, the paddle boards, small private docks and lily pads were our favorites. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and eager to make sure we had a fantastic stay. Looking forward to coming back next summer. - Kristi Kim
Very nice place with everything you need to make your stay great. The bed is the best bed I have slept on in a long time! Easy check in and check out, great communication and location. It was quiet and even though it was the very tippy top of the house, it was plenty cool on a hot night. Highly recommend! - Sarah
