Beautiful historical Inn! Great location for dinning and shopping downtown. The house does need several repairs outdoors and I’m need of severe pressure washing and deck cleaning and repainting.

It was nice room wish there was more for food and stuff

8/10 Very good

The Herren House is historic and meets all of the charm of a house that old. The location was absolutely perfect to walk to town for shopping and meals. It was very clean but dated. The check-in was seamless, automated, but impersonal. The room was spacious but chilly. Additional blankets and a rug or drapes to close would add to the warmth. I'd stay there again but plan on the chilly room better.
