Staff were great but lots of issues with room. Paper thin walls., could hear the people chewing next door. Extremely small and tight bathroom with shower head that could peel your skin off. Beautiful view off the back balcony and cool delivered continental breakfast.

Clean, adorable little room! The little balcony was a nice place to sit and watch birds and squirrels. Quiet and close to downtown. The ladder to the loft needs attention. The fridge needed attention. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay and I will most definitely be back. Thank you!

First the property itself is rustic, quiet, and convenient for us and what our goals of this trip was. Our goal was to stay somewhere affordable and nice to enjoy the town more. Which this is a perfect option for that. The rooms are definitely on the rustic, cabin vibes and the staff are very sweet and kind. I would say the only major downside was the interior heaters were non operational and they had these mini transportable heaters that just didn’t heat up the space enough. So it was VERY cold. And this is just personal for my preference but two pillows were not enough, would’ve at least liked four pillows. I know if I called, the staff would have provided it, again they were sweet but it was late and I didn’t want to wake them over some pillows. But! It would’ve been nice to have those extra pillows for sleep comfort. Overall, for a quick one night stay and getaway, with what our goals were in mind. I recommend it here and give it 4 or 4.5 stars.

For a solo traveler this is a great option, as its centrally located and easy to get to anywhere in town and the many nature hikes in the area. Loved the back porch with a view directly into the woods. As noted by other guests, only possible downside are the thin walls.

We brought our dog to escape fourth of July fireworks in the neighborhood and had a great stay. Very cozy, friendly, place. Staff is incredibly welcoming and easy going. Room was clean and peaceful. The small personal deck outside had a beautiful view of the forest and was perfect for relaxing and reading a book. The hotel was close to the town's center, which was just a walk away.
