Comfortable...

Overall experience was good. Check in was easy even though I arrived very late, the gentleman from check in was very helpful and friendly. I appreciated the fact that I was given the room at the end because I had my dog which made it more convenient. The room itself was cozy enough with all amenities but it could use a little more renovating and deep cleaning, Overall though, I would definitely stay here again,

Peace and tranquility

Don’t skip this quaint Little inn! They are kind, accommodating, clean and welcoming. I needed a ride to my friends wedding venue and the owner herself took me. It is quiet and peaceful and a true cabin in the woods. I would definitely return here, even if there was not an event happening.

There was some wear and age to the place, but it was also part of what it was as a cottage and everything that I expected. I would definitely stay here again.

Very dated motel from the 1950's and on the market for sale now. Sink water just trickled and the staff was not there after hours. Reminded me of Bates Motel in Psycho....

Air conditioner was old. When you walk in the air was just turned on a few prior so you can smell the old rug and wet old conditioner, almost smell like molded room. Shower towels are old, need update. Overall, everything in the room need update.
