This room was exactly what we needed!

We stayed in the Inn with another couple in the next room. The room was spacious, bed was cozy, water pressure in shower was AWESOME! It was set in the perfect location and walkable to everything Helen has to offer! Especially loved that the general store was right next to us and made it SO convenient for $1 morning coffees! We will definitely be staying here again!

Overall it was a great place to stay. It was very close and easy to walk to places. Our only complaint is the bell/clock on the church beside the house. It’s loud!
