Great place to stay

Everything was wonderful, easy to get in and out. Clean room and good breakfast. The only thing I would like to see is at least 1 rack to put luggage on, 2 would be fabulous.

The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.

A unique,Cozy Inn

This inn is truly unique, featuring a classic Victorian style with carefully curated interior decor and a strong sense of homeliness. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is plentiful and nutritious, making the stay especially pleasant. The only downside is that the air conditioning is a bit noisy.
