It was clean. Staff was nice. Just a note not a complaint, the walls are paper thin, so you can hear whats going on next door like you are in the room. So nice place to sleep, not a romantic get away. Lol.

Clean and comfortable room. A variety of lodging options, from a small economy to a suite with a jacuzzi. Limited dining options but tasty food (appetizers, pizza, wine and beer). Very close to Lincoln's New Salem. Situated along the banks of a lovely river in a quaint historic town. Very friendly and accommodating staff!

Would stay again

We just needed a quiet place to stay after an out of town funeral. We needed a wheelchair accessible room and we weren’t disappointed in the accommodations! Nice extras, great staff and a nice view of the river and woods.

local flavor!

Very cute “lodge” theme decor. Super friendly staff. Loved the small bar area with great pub food and local diners. Rm 106 was adequate in size but only we carried just one small bag. No closet or drawers for storage. Bathroom big enough for one person. No shelf space. Nice river view from room.
