Had a very nice time at "The View". Andy and Joyce were very welcoming. They contacted our group "leader" and told us to tell them what we would be drinking that evening. Sure enough, we pulled in, and after a quick review from Andy, a speedy check-in, our drinks were waiting in a cooler on ice, just like we had... More

Owners were extremely helpful, warm and hospitable during our stay. There are no negatives about this place. The hotel makes for a great country getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The view all around the hotel was beautiful and the location was great.

I stay at the view two nights. The room was very clean and nice. While not fancy everything right down to the trim and soft towels were very well done. On the day I was leaving the owners even shared their coffee right out of there own coffee pot to save me some time. The View hotel is very friendly... More

We had a glass of wine out in the patio area, listened to some music, and got to know each other. We got a tour of their beautiful garden (with tips on... More
