This is an amazing inn and it is an experience to be had rather than just a place to spend the night. Themed rooms, antique items and furniture and old books, and random interesting items to check out. Historic building.

This place was SO perfect for our son's graduation . We avoided the high prices in Fayetteville and it was a short drive to the activities there. The Inn gives a charming European hostel vibe with such a sweet and helpful hostess who gave us recommendations for short hikes and walks around the area, to a local swimming hole and to the farmers market. Wonderful sitting areas.

The place is a little creepy and the HVAC units make inconsistent noises… which wasn’t helpful for a good night sleep. In the morning, I noticed that there were at plugs available in several tables. Those would have helped. The place is pretty cool. They’ve done a great job of making look 100 years old.
