Super cute with a overall American Feel. We enjoyed the free parking and the decor and the rooms were extremely comfortable. The only thing missing for a longer stay was the lack of a frig. But we will be back.

Relaxing
We had such a nice relaxing time. From the quaint little bar to the claw foot tub in our room. Everyone that we met was wonderful and made us and our dog very welcomed. It was a home away from home. Will stay again!

What a delightful inn! We loved the cozy feel overall, our room was very comfortable, and we appreciated the breakfast and the little bar area. Plus, only a few minutes walk to town for restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay again!
