The Inn was really charming. The breakfast was very good, and the hostess was very sweet. Our room was clean, although a little warm the first night. There was no air conditioner in our room, but we had a fan. Our room was at the end of the hall and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay.

Stay here -perfect country escape!

Beautiful property very relaxing. Pancakes were perfectly fluffy as you’d expect from a great country inn. Short walk to Stella’s (yum!!) or the on-premise Tavern. Tavern wasn’t open as we were there mid-week but it looked adorable.
