Like the new darker color scheme very much. I think you hit the nail on the head with these. I really like the larger picture set up you have on your property page. If I were in your shoes, I would be using it (or that layout) as your home page. People like to see pictures! Nice size pictures. I think it was JB (forgive me if I am wrong) who said in another thread that she likes to look into the photo.
The Menu system works well but one thing I would change here is what is covered under "About Us" - or change the header to "Innformation". After all the sites I have viewed, when I see "About us" I am thinking this is about the innkeepers. I think you will get more calls about your policies and property as people saying they did not see it.
I like your rooms (change to Cabins) page and the info clearly stated on the right side...love the cancelation box! Clever. One thing I would do is to mention the amenities in your top sentance with a page down link in the word. Yes, I know it is right there! Speaking of the amenities - ok, you use features - I see you have massage listed but it is not included - while everything else is. (Use the word complimentary, it drives it home that you get these all included) I would not place this here. Too many miss the fine print. It would be better to make a note to "Check out our extras (or packages, etc) here" (link)
Oh, and use the word cottage instead of room in all places!!!
I do not mind the people pics but will say that some do look too staged i.e. the fishing one. I think it would look less staged if they were sitting on the bank, backs to the camera. Faceless people make it easier to allow you to put yourself there, and that is what the objective is with these shots.. make them dream of being there.
I am with all the others about the font style I like Arial - nice clean lines. The font size is fine for me but it could be slightly larger without giving the impression of yelling.
