We apparently booked a room in the newer building across the street from the Victorian building. Though I was surprised we thought since it had an elevator it might be easier. It was and our room was spacious, however like the lobby it was completely bland, no sense of thought was put into either space. Everything was painted the same color from trim work to walls to furniture except the ugly peel and stick floor squares. We were truly surprised by its complete lack of decor. A few years ago we had stayed in the Victorian building across the street and it had been cute and comfortable. Not sure we’d stay again because it’s not inexpensive and compared to so many other beautiful places we’ve stayed it’s far from the mark.

Awesome place!

We had an amazing time at the Carter House! The room was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was great! My wife became ill at the end of the trip, and the staff was amazing and caring towards her, helping her to be comfortable until we could travel again. Awesome inn and staff, I can't recommend highly enough!
