"We had a wonderful experience all the way around. It was not our first Under Canvas stay, thought it was our first at this location. We knew what to expect overall, and the staff went above any beyond those expectations. My spouse was (unexpectedly) on crutches for this trip, and the staff was so helpful and accommodating of the extra needs we had because of that. It was also really apparent to me that everyone we encountered on the staff was upbeat and forthcoming about how much they liked working for Under Canvas. We had a great time, and we will definitely return!"
