We could not stay there very long, but we loved when we got to the room that they had a fire going. The room was lovely, and it felt very cozy. We got in late and were given a code to get into the room. After reading all the great reviews, we were very disappointed we had to leave before breakfast. We would definitely stay there again.

The owners were very friendly, and the breakfast was very good. Room was pleasant. Our bed had a thick memory foam topper on an old mattress, which we found extremely uncomfortable. The scent from deodorizer/cleaner was overpowering.
