"We're the only owner-owned property in the region," says Kees van Maaswaal. "Our goal is to make every guest feel like they are a welcomed visitor in our home. Great care has been placed on training each team member that their primary role is to be the best host or hostess possible, as well as the best cook, reception employee or chambermaid. We're here to make every stay a happy one, no matter what it takes."
