The riding academy one of the best places I have stayed. Supper clean, high end appliances (sub zero) Toto toilets, nice solid doors and very comfortable beds. The pool was so relaxed with music and vendors. Walking distance to multiple restaurants and viewing roof tops. Great place for Independence Day. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely had a wonderful stay. The room was very nice and comfortable. They allow dogs but I had my Great Dane service dog with no issues. They gave her a cute pink and white bandana, a comfy bed and have a beautiful dog park. They also were super nice giving us a room directly across from the dog park gate.

It's a really nice place. It's clean and quiet and they have a snack shop with food, coffee, soda pop and a limited bar. It's well maintained and I would stay there again. Even though some guests had dogs, I didn't hear any barking.

6/10 Good

The bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds I have slept on. For the price, I would expect a better bed; which is why I gave a lower rating. The hotel was beautiful. The food was great. The room was nothing special.

Every attention to detail is obvious! We have been to this property a few times and the Equestrian as well. We have a fantastic time each and every time! Great service, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, dog and horse friendly… there’s a reason they call it Disney for horse people! It’s truly magical!
