Very lovely. This is our 2nd time staying and it’s always a pleasant experience, nice cabin with a clean room. Check in is very easy, and the area is pet friendly and even has a small trail out the back. The heater works very well on cold nights

I was so pleased when my guests and I arrived with the environment, staff, and cleanliness until bedtime. There were blankets for upstairs bedroom. The sofa bed downstairs where I slept only had sheets and a thin blanket!!! It was very cold 37 degrees that day. I had to use our jackets to sleep that night. I notified by text about problem and she only stated “2 blankets upstairs.”

The location is great. The bed was comfy. Everything felt clean and there were thoughtful touches like the night lite and coffee creamer. The place is quaint but dated. This was especially evident in the bathroom. Turning the water to hot made the very loud water heater in the hallway kick in. The toilet handle had to be jiggled. And everything in the bathroom needs an update. Having said all that - the price was fair. And it was clean!

This is my third visit to Fireside. My room had newer appliances, and it was well-kept and clean. They are dog-friendly and in the heart of town. I came up for the Halloween parade, had a front-row seat, and followed the parade to the circle. I'll return soon!
