Michael PeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our stay at the Lane Retreat was a great getaway from the city. We stayed over the weekend and it was a perfect escape. The Lane retreat is nice and secluded away from the main roads. The rooms are nice and modern, with a nice touch of the Pantry to grab some nice cheese and wine and coffees in the morning.
