We stayed one night at the Inn. The checkin process was a bit confusing, but it worked out. The room was simple but clean and suited our needs. We enjoyed a campfire at night because there was an ample supply of kindling and firewood. Also, the hot breakfast in the morning was a treat. And the staff were very friendly.
