This family run inn was so clean and comfortable. The rooms are really big, with small frig, microwave and small coffee maker. However they offer complimentary coffee in the office in the mornings. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Will stay here again!

Perfect for families! The puttputt and playground were large and fun and there were comfortable picnic tables for eating outside, enjoying the weather and the stunning view. The rooms were VERY large! We had a double queen and while you could tell the hotel is undergoing renovations, it was nice, quiet and comfortable. The updates that were going on lead me to believe that as nice as it is right now, next year will be even better.
