Excellent staff, very pretty and unique place to stay! I loved how the rooms were cozy and decorated, and how it was located right off 219. Could hear the highway noise at times, but not bad with the AC Unit running. Very clean, and the staff made everything so easy! Highly recommend!

We had a second visit to the inn and it was even better than the first! We were greeted like old friends, our room was decorated in a charming lake theme, and was very clean. There are two restaurants within walking distance of the hotel and both have delicious food and excellent service. I would recommend the western omelette at Little Sandy’s Restaurant—quite possibly the best in the world or at least the 5 countries I have tried! The Rowdy Rooster has a great atmosphere and some awesome Buffalo chicken dip! Although we stayed as a stopover on a longer trip we plan to return and check out all that the area has to offer, and of course we will stay at The Garrett Inn when we do!
