This was a very beautiful, comfortable property to stay at. The jetted hot tub was great! Staff was extremely firendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the different nooks and rooms to enjoy our brekafast our cup of coffee. The small tavern was fun, comfortable and had great cocktails. We walked all over and bonus find was Redd's Pond where we were able to ice skate! Great restuarants very close by. Highly recommend!

First, parking was convenient and safe.
The room I selected was available for me before check in time. This worked out well since I had an early flight in.
I really enjoy the Victorian style with old world charm.
My room #28 was extremely cozy with the fireplace and just at the top of the stairs. The breakfast selection was great !!! All staff did an excellent job. But, Stacey was especially helpful thru out the entire process of my stay.
I definitely will be booking again. Please keep me posted with special events.Thank you. Happy Halloween !!!
