Excellent stay! Very clean room, nice shower, and TV. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast at the cafe was incredible. I didn't spend much time in the game room or fire pit, but those were so nice as well! I absolutely recommend this to anyone traveling around the area.

The rooms are clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable -- appreciated the in-room coffee/tea set-up and easy self-check-in. Bed was very comfortable and high quality bedding and towels. Despite closeness to the highway, rooms are very quiet. Highlight was the included breakfast -- fresh-ingredients, made to order, and wonderful server (Pauline).

We stayed one night at the Inn. The checkin process was a bit confusing, but it worked out. The room was simple but clean and suited our needs. We enjoyed a campfire at night because there was an ample supply of kindling and firewood. Also, the hot breakfast in the morning was a treat. And the staff were very friendly.
