A 180 year old house was brought back to life. Beautiful, spacious rooms in light colors. Wonderful bathroom and the breakfast was superb. Homemade granola, crusty bread, egg bites. It was a wonderful find and we highly recommend staying for more than just one night.

Our room, #6, was excellent! It was spacious, well-appointed, super clean, and as my wife said - cute! She utilized and enjoyed the sauna. We stayed for 4 nights, and the lite breakfast each morning was a great start to our day exploring the surrounds. It was a very comfortable experience and there were several ‘comfortable’ restaurants nearby.
