"Great place. Had a few things that needed repairs, but the place smelled freshly cleaned it was spotless. Sheets smelled nice and clean. I really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was prefect. The beds were a little small but for the price, it was waaay better than any Inn I’ve ever stayed at."

9.2/10 Wonderful! (153 reviews)
great location
"We three adults stayed here for 2 nights. It was charming and in a good location. Having the bathroom attached to the bedroom was ok for us but not great. The sofa bed in the living room was broken. I managed ok on it but a large person and certainly 2 would not. It's a sweet place for up to 3-4 ..."
