Excellent hotel
John Mark is very kind and he takes well care of all guests. The breakfast is delicious, home-made prepared. On our trip we stayed in 4 hotels and this one was the best of all at a reasonable price.

The common areas were clean and cozy. However the room we booked was adequate but it was an add on and not in the inn and was nothing special. The kicker was the shower went cold after a few seconds and never warmed back up! A cold shower is unacceptable! We tried to call the office but they didn't answer. Next morning the lady in the office's response was "talk to him." His explanation was they over inhabited some of the rooms and the water heater couldn't handle it. That didn't help me. Breakfast was good and lady in the kitchen was friendly and helpful. But I would not book this "inn"'again nor recommend.

I have never received a more warm welcome than when I walked in to check in. The property is a little old and could use minor patchwork here and there, but the entire place emanates the love put in to it. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and decorated nicely.

Not for elderly or people with trouble walking
It’s a very pretty area, the bed is super comfortable. However, if you are going to relax in the morning it’s hard to do it’s very noisy. Also, for elderly or anyone that has slight trouble walking it is very very difficult to walk around. Definitely not handicap accessible!
