Plenty of historic character. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Try Howard's for dining (since 1946) with excellent dinners and local sourced mountain trout. Pork chop was also yummy.

Excellent location; comfortable bed; nice breakfast. Really liked the balcony & rocking chairs. Having a fridge in the room would have been really helpful also having screens on the patio sliders to keep out bugs would be good.
