The weekend breakfast was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful to all patrons. The room was clean and inviting. We loved staying in one of the many rooms in the main house. Not only is the town quaint, it is only a short drive away from Salem and other parks in the area. Definitely worth the visit and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique stay!

Staff was very nice and helpful with late check-in. Room was very clean, big comfortable bed, and lovely view from the balcony. Only complaint is that the walls are very thin and we could hear the people next door very loudly, and could hear outside very loud as well. Overall positive experience and would book again.

This is a beautiful property but there are few rooms in the large bldg, and the east and west wings are not as nice. The bathroom window screen had a tear in it and there was no bathroom fan. Additionally, the creamer in the room was expired and curdled. It was ok but not worth the price.

Not as anticipated. We did not stay in the historic mansion but instead in a crappy hotel room. First room had debris in the beds. Second room had paint peeling from the ceiling, ripped shower curtain, and a spider living in the bathroom. Heard every step that the upstairs patron made. Owner claimed that cleaners came daily however the dust on the keurig begs to differ. Extremely disappointed in spending so much money on a bad motel room. Would not recommend.

We booked on Hotels.com and the picture shows a big old historic house. Be aware you are likely going to stay in a 1950’s era motor lodge motel. It was…okay, but we were a bit surprised to be directed to a sort of run down building that was no where in their picture of the hotel.
