Beautiful, quaint and tucked away, our historic property has elements that reflect the fact that we’re a rural location and our buildings are extremely old… but in a lovely way. You can expect a few funny quirks… sound travels, floors creak, some ceiling heights are low, some rooms don’t have closets, some rooms are small while others are spacious, and all of our bathrooms are pretty small. Some rooms offer more privacy than others. Since we’re located in the country, sometimes we have dust where we just swept, cobwebs that seem to appear overnight, and insects that may make an appearance. Ladybugs on your window anyone? We’ve done our best to describe each room and the inn itself, but please contact us if you have any questions. Our team is happy to clarify.
