Super cute decor, and the beds were very comfortable. Loved the baked goods that were baked daily by the staff, and the breakfast never disappointed. We went during the off season, so housekeeping was on request, which was not a problem for us. The inn was walking distance from the main village center, which was super convenient. I would absolutely stay here again!

Great property! The butterfly garden was beautiful. The beds were comfortable. Very clean! Nice patios! Parking was easy & the location is great. Walkable. The front desk guy was very nice, but the guy making breakfast was kind of rude. We would stay again because it was very nice.
