There for a wedding at the barn across the hotel. The hotel has a cool appearance of a huge barn. The lobby has a nice little set up with a little bar are, a little convenience store area, breakfast, & lounge. The gentleman working was NOT friendly nor had overly great customer service. I stood there for what seemed like 5 minutes without being acknowledged while he highlighted all the guest sheets of where people needed to initial and sign when checking in. The rooms are super cute but the carpets could use a good cleaning if not be replaced. The breakfast in the morning was good and had a nice variety of things to choose from. Overall a nice little hotel!

A beautiful place. Staff are incredibly nice and accommodating. We were granted a late check out, very nice!! But, we were overcharged for our food….thankfully I noticed it on our receipt and it was taken care of. We will be back! Please fix the hot tub! ;)
