The staff were welcoming and kind. The tiny house was clean and tidy. The bed unfortunately was rather hard and uncomfortable and the pillows were rather skinny. The place had some interesting quirks as far as heating and the floor in the kitchen squeaked really loud.

The room looked pretty recently updated, had a soaking tub in it as well as a shower. Restaurant right across the street, and walkable Main Street. The hot pool outside in the trees was a little creepy when looking for it in the dark, but it was very clean and we had it all to ourselves this time of year. It was a nice find off the beaten path!
