Guest Reviews

My wife and I chose Storybook for our anniversary getaway, and loved every moment of it. That staff was not only hospitable, but happy to help in any way we needed. The facility was beautiful and our room was perfect. Everything from the amazing homemade cookies in our room to the vhs collection of tapes available, and the amazing breakfast. We will definitely be back!
