Staff was super friendly. The free hot breakfast was nice, they also had free snacks. The public areas they have are cute and charming with pretty views of the river. Unfortunately the room was kind of gross, lots of dust and some mold in the bathroom. The half the pillows on the bed smelled so musty that we had to throw them on the floor.

Although they were a little shorthanded when we were there, the staff went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly for us. The gentleman who made us breakfast was not only a great cook, but was super friendly. This is a great spot to stay, and in this small town is worth supporting

The dome was beautiful and spacious. The shower had good water pressure. The A/C worked perfectly! It was a beautiful view of the river. We even had a friendly cat who greeted us when we arrived.

The place is very unique located in a very interesting small town. Check in was quick and easy, staff was very welcoming and friendly. A very good freshly cooked breakfast was served, an unexpected treat. The glamping dome was much roomier than I expected. Very comfortable, it did rain the night we were there so the viewing was not the best but the sleep was excellent.
