Our room, #6, was excellent! It was spacious, well-appointed, super clean, and as my wife said - cute! She utilized and enjoyed the sauna. We stayed for 4 nights, and the lite breakfast each morning was a great start to our day exploring the surrounds. It was a very comfortable experience and there were several ‘comfortable’ restaurants nearby.

Beautifully renovated Victorian house. Curated spaces throughout for sitting, lounging, listening to music, reading or playing a board game. Coffee and snack stations including ice cream sandwiches in the second floor refrigerator!! Breakfast was fresh, homemade and plentiful. Walkable to town for craft beer and delicious eats!!! Fantastic place.
