This Inn was located in a great & amazingly beautiful location. The main building has a really interesting history related to Lucy M M. The beds were comfortable. Wasn’t sure about the cleanliness of the dated carpeting. The whole main building, including guest rooms could use TLC upgrading. That said, bathroom was clean & breakfast offered several hot & cold options, that were nutritious.

Janet and Tim

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed for two nights and the reviews when we booked our stay were good. However, it seems the inn is under new management and the facility is not very well maintained. Our room smelled horribly of air freshener so we had to air it out. Then there was no hot water so we had to wait until the next day for a shower. The breakfast room was shabby and the utensils were dirty. The location of the inn is ideal; we could walk or take a short drive to tourist spots, but the accommodation could have been much better.
