Great low-key spot. Enjoyed the Blues and Brews night on Thursday, and the room was comfortable, and well appointed. Fireplace Coffee and Muffin on a rainy Friday was exactly what I needed.

Our room was just what we needed as a retreat from our couple of busy days in town. The outdoor space was great and the bar on site had very sweet staff.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel and had a good time. The front building of the hotel is beautiful however the rooms in the bunkhouse are TINY. They definitely try to make the most out of the room but it’s very dated and a little run down since it is old. Has good character though. I am a very light sleeper and could hear everything going on in the rooms around us and the hallway but that is out of the hotels control. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was great!! Overall, we would stay here again but probably only for one night - we felt like if we stayed any longer we might go crazy in such a tight space. Loved that it was walkable to everything!

Small and charming
Inn is very cozy with an antique Lodge aesthetic. Rooms are small but with thoughtful details and nice appointments. The mattresses were comfy and the linens great!

I enjoyed the quiet and safety of the "bunk house" located behind the main house. Parking was easy and the bed was comfortable. The room was small, but that didn't matter.

People that book on Expedia should understand that a “standard” room is not located in the main inn, it is located in the “bunkhouse” which is across the parking lot behind the inn. This was not explained in the listing. The room we received was very small and not particularly nice. We had trouble figuring out where to put suitcases. The location was excellent, however. We had a great breakfast at the main inn one morning, and the staff was generally friendly and helpful.

Room was very small and decorated with old, worn out furniture. Sheets were stained. AC was a window unit, that was loud and obtrusive. Shower curtain was so long it blocked the drain. The property surrounding was beautiful, the restaurant delicious, the staff very friendly.

Was in the bunkhouse in back of property. Room was ok certainly had most everything you needed but was very cramped. Thought it was rather overpriced for what it was - view of the back of hotel and parking lot.
