Great place and very nice owners. Quaint comfortable hotel attached to a beautiful home. Nice continental breakfast included in a pretty dining room. The owners are very nice, they make you feel at home. Hershel went out of his way to correct a glitch in the reservation that we made through a third party site. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Loved the friendly text message as we were late arrivals that told us how to enter the room and numbers for any issues, located on the door. (very safe no contact for those that need that), Breakfast room had all sorts of options for ease of breakfast and enjoyment of the morning air. Loved the historical information posted inside the building as well. The room had a cabin-like feel and a calm atmosphere.
