Pros: The peacefulness, food, hiking trails and staff members were very hospitable.

Mount Sheba - A lovely quiet retreat

Pros: - We love the spacious unit we stayed in - The 3-course dinners were excellent. It was a highlight of our trip. - Our waitress, the lady with the crutches was amazing. Apologies I forgot her name. She made us feel welcome and provided us with great service. We really appreciated it. - We loved the Fireplace in our unit.

Cons: - The toilet did not flush properly in the unit. I would recommend looking into this please. - Road coming in and out was not the best. We did have a high rise vehicle and you did mention i in the e-mail,, but we did not realize the condition of the road
