We stayed in one of the small cabin rooms for one night. It is certainly cozy, but had everything needed, was nicely appointed and very comfortable. On an unusually warm day, the AC was quiet and cold as well. Breakfast was wonderful, and staff prompt and courteous. Very nicely maintained property, would recommend and stay again if back in Richmond.

Very helpful staff, comfy room and nice relaxed lobby area. The breakfast was very good albeit the choices involving smoked salmon were off the menu as tge delivery had not come. But the staff offered plenty of alternatives. The stay was charming and very comfortable.
