Love this inn!
This place is so beautiful inside and out. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The common areas inside were cozy and offered plenty of windows for views of the mountains and grounds. The outside area was well kept with plenty of seating, string lights for evenings, coy pond, and fire pit. My husband and I enjoyed playing coin toss and corn hole. The breakfast was good and the owners/staff were so friendly.

I was impressed by the overall experience. The owner is very personable and attentive. After a good night sleep on a very comfortable bed, we were treated to a delicious home cooked breakfast. I asked for a particular item that was not offered as part of breakfast and in a few minutes he brought it to me(wow) . This is a place that I would absolutely recommend to all with confidence.

Hotel was very quirky. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Friendly welcome and informtion provided. Maybe not suitable if you are unable to climb stairs as a few of the rooms involve a decent climb! Would recommend though

Weekend getaway for anniversary.
We had a great anniversary weekend . The accommodations were beautiful. Beautiful gardens, quaint room, delicious breakfast. great caretakers of a beautiful place. The biggest negative was my room was 3 floors up. I knew this going in and we packed light. The stairs to second level were good but the next level , the third level, the stairs were so narrow and hard to navigate especially with luggage. The bed was not comfortable and my husband and I kept rolling in the middle of the bed. Needs a new mattress.

2/10 Poor

The common areas were clean and cozy. However the room we booked was adequate but it was an add on and not in the inn and was nothing special. The kicker was the shower went cold after a few seconds and never warmed back up! A cold shower is unacceptable! We tried to call the office but they didn't answer. Next morning the lady in the office's response was "talk to him." His explanation was they over inhabited some of the rooms and the water heater couldn't handle it. That didn't help me. Breakfast was good and lady in the kitchen was friendly and helpful. But I would not book this "inn"'again nor recommend.

I have never received a more warm welcome than when I walked in to check in. The property is a little old and could use minor patchwork here and there, but the entire place emanates the love put in to it. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and decorated nicely.
