I really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and fireplace added the element of warmth to the ambiance. The bed was a bit firm to our liking but otherwise cozy. The property is tucked away and you really get the stillness that you do not get in the city. What I loved most of all is that the staff is wonderful and really builds a community for their guests and regulars. We enjoyed conversations and laughing for their lounge's trivia night. I cannot wait to stay here again!

Staff were only available 8am-12pm, so I only engaged with them when I checked out. But the key was left in a handy place for us when we arrived. The light outside the door did not work so it was a bit difficult to get into the room in the dark after dinner. The satellite remote didn't work and the light on the back porch (a lovely space) was on a timer we couldn't change. We couldn't figure out how to change the thermostat and there were no instructions in the binder left in the room. The location was convenient and the room was good for the price.

Check in was SO simple, and the room was exceptionally clean and quiet-especially the bathroom. I appreciate that the shower head is more than 72" high! It's perfect for tall guests like me! The Idle Hour kitchen had a lovely brunch, which we enjoyed with our dog, and the staff were all welcoming and pleasant!

I recently stayed here for a wedding over the weekend. It’s a cute cabin like inn. The staff is super friendly and everything was clean and the cats at the site are super cute. Their restaurant also had good food. My one thing is to drive down to the property and sometimes parking can be limited depending on time of day but luckily they have parking on the other side of the inn.
