We had a lovely stay. The view is peaceful, and the area very quiet and private. Everything in this suite is of very high quality, from the furnishing to the art, even the dishes. It feels like a home. We will definitely return.

We had a fantastic stay at The Chief Suite in Duncan! The views from the two balconies were simply breathtaking — we started each morning with coffee overlooking the scenery and ended the day with a glass of wine in the same peaceful setting. As people who love to cook, we really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen — everything we needed was available and top-notch. The entire suite felt luxurious, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Check-in instructions were crystal clear, making arrival smooth and stress-free. All in all, a beautiful, serene, and well-appointed place to stay. We’d absolutely return and highly recommend it!
