Cozy and Relaxing

Lovely, sweet inn and so close to downtown Glen Rose. Welcoming and friendly staff. The cool breezes under the shade trees near the water were the perfect place to sit and read or just watch the water go by. Staff was so accomodating and helpful. Rooms were large and quiet.

Very nice older Inn on the river. Very relaxing to walk down by the river or have a seat and watch it flow by. Half a block to downtown square, Sexton Feed Mill, Snyders is next to the Inns parking lot. The location can’t be beat. Breakfast was good and all the coffee you can drink.

I noticed a few things in and around the bathroom that needed attention, and also noticed at breakfast that there seemed to be a shortage of sugar on hand when requested. The gazebo outside was also roped off, I am guessing for repairs.

The urine smell in the hallway was so strong it hurt your eyes and you had to hold your breath. Not sure if the two dogs inside was the cause but nursing homes smell better. For the price of over $175 per night, unacceptable.

Perfect Get Away

This place was AMAZING! The house is actually a historical marker. Great story behind it. It’s 105 years old so it creaks ALL. THE. TIME. But I thought that just added charm. Very quiet and peaceful. The staff were so friendly. They allow dogs but I didn’t see one hair on anything. Rooms are small but just perfect for 1 or 2 people. They probably have bigger rooms, I’m just describing mine. Breakfast is part of the price and ya’ll…it was 5 star worthy! Big portions and not at all what I was expecting. There is even a tavern behind it. Right on the river and very central to downtown.

Don't stay if you don't like dogs.

I guess I wasn't upbeat enough at check-in. Large dogs in the lobby I didn't pet the dog or gush about how much I love dogs. I like dogs as much as the next guy, but I don't think the check in lady thought that was enough. She didn't like me. The next morning at 6am there was what sounded like a radio alarm clock that went off -- in the room across the hall --blaring country music loud enough to wake up the whole place. That went on for about 20 minutes and then there was an insanely loud beeping sound coming from the room across the hall. Obviously no one was in there. Someone had set the alarm. Humm. Just because your paranoid doesn't mean their not out to get you. I swear she set those alarms and left them to go off. Oh -- and the whole hallway upstairs smelled like wet dog.

The property was charming and had a relaxing vibe. I enjoyed being greeted by their fur baby! Pillows were a bit too fluffy. Keep in mind no frills room (no tv, fridge, cushy chair, coffee) but very cozy.

An absolutely delightful stay. Very well behaved four legged hosts, and a charming two legged innkeeper! The food is outstanding and there is a game and puzzle closet available, that also includes a few books. A word of advice: the stairs to the second floor are in excellent condition, but if climbing stairs isn’t for you - request a downstairs room. We were unaware of this when making our reservation, but they were able to move us to a ground-level room. Highly recommend
