Charming hotel and a quaint, historic town. Comfortable hotel and well located. My only regret was I did not have more time to enjoy all the wonderful amenities of the hotel and more time in town. The hotel even left a welcome treat for my pet which was much appreciated.

We stayed in this Buckhouse suite so accommodating and cute. Not like your typical hotel room. Town is amazing. We were right in the middle of town at the Gibson so we parked our car. Spent the next two days exploring the town so cute and quaint and just the kind of disconnect we needed for our anniversary.
