Nice place. Was told that there was a restaurant on site but it was only operating for a work crew staying there. I feel that it was over priced for the services that were available.

Comfort with a view

As far as a country inn is concerned, this one was a delight. Jane was such a joy in every encounter. She made the visit even more special. It was a comfortable place to get away, have an adventure and rest my head.

Their breakfast was wonderful. Beautiful view, as well. Dining options in the area are very limited and expensive, so consider packing plenty of snacks :)

The room was not clean - the shower curtain smelled strongly of mildew. The sheets and pillowcases were stained. The air conditioner did not work very well and was very dirty. The room needs to be updated. Staff were nice and friendly.

Noise transmits freely through the building. The top floor may be better but the noise in the main floor unit near the stairs was persistent and disturbing.
