Adorable, cozy room. Opened the door to a fire glowing in the gas stove, and was all set to tuck in for the night ahead of a big winter hike.

Nicely appointed rooms and lobby area. Walls/floor insulation is very thin though. I stayed in the Pinkham Room and could hear the people in the room below me very late into the night and early in the morning.
Staff is warm and welcoming and the inn is a great value for the location.

It was beautifully decorated, warm, cozy, clean, quiet and romantic. I love the kitchenette area with a couch & tv because my husband awakes much earlier than I do. Love the gas fireplace in the bedroom and easy check-in with excellent communication. We loved it! Thank you!
