You do have a golf cart available in the front of the hotel. You really should have someone drive people to & from the parking lots. A few times coming in to the hotel at night there is insufficient lighting and no-one ever to ride you back from the parking lots.

This is a beautiful facility on Carter's Creek. We had a great time walking around the property, drinks at the pool bar, champagne on the lawn and dinner at The Chesapeake restaurant. The beds/pillows were superb resulting in a good night's sleep.
