Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The service was friendly and had a warm, homey feel. The place itself is beautiful and has a charming, unique character due to its age. My husband would have liked to see omelets or scrambled eggs offered at breakfast—he missed having the typical warm breakfast we usually enjoy at bed and breakfast places. I would reccomend this place for sure

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!
