Gorgeous spot with a spectacular view. Some noise from the road. Well-maintained grounds with amenities like a fire pit, deck/loungers and pool (not heated but still nice). Towels provided at poolside.
Lovely hand soap and body wash. The in-room beverage amenities were very lacking: no tea, almost empty container of sugar/sweeteners with one lone powdered creamer, no utensils or stir sticks for the coffee. If you're going to provide a kettle and hot drinks, I expect better. Comfortable towels and linens, but one of the washcloths was stained with brown spots and there was only one hand towel.
The check-in process was clunky and not transparent. In the morning, I got a text telling me check-in time was 3pm and asking me to tell them if I would be arriving late. (It was not clear if I needed to arrive at precisely 3pm, not a reasonable expectation for many guests, I imagine). I responded that I would be arriving late and received no reply. When I arrived, I had to text again to get instructions how to access my room. Given the rural location and spotty cellphone coverage (it took several minutes for the messages to go through), this is a hassle and confusion that could easily have been avoided by sending the info earlier. I would also have appreciated an explanation that the facility is essentially unstaffed. On my last day there was nobody around and the fire pit was shut off.
Knowing what I know now (and at non-eclipse prices), I would likely return to The Bygone.
