This property is so incredible. The staff is great and always helpful. We went for 4th of July weekend and had an awesome time with all of our kids!! It is perfect for walking to the downtown and when you are in need of a break from the busy downtown it is a perfect walk and quiet and peaceful. It is like you are in a completely different place.

Aug 16, 2025

Room was too small and got. We were warned about the shared bathroom but expected cleaning. Also expected help with suitcase to 2nd floor after telling the man I had a bad shoulder. Instead I was told “it’s only one fight”. You are WAY too expensive for that treatment.

Had a series of medical issues that precluded me from staying for my wife’s 65th. Policy is cancellation no potential to reschedule. I wanted to go in off season as rescheduling, but no. Crappy customer service. I didn’t plan on being hospitalized just prior.

The staff was wonderful, so helpful in every way! The complimentary brunch on Mother's Day was wonderful! The Inn is just gorgeous! Only concern was our door to our room really wouldn't lock. You can just push it open without a key. One morning I woke to it ajar. The wind must have opened it.
