Lovely little guesthouse-style inn. We like the communal lounge room and the range of bathrooms. The rooms are cosy with good bedding. Note that the restaurant closes by 6pm on Sundays and the café is not open on Monday, even on long weekends.

So happy I found this place! It’s very quaint! The Inn was very clean and well maintained. Staff is exceptionally friendly, and the coffee shop and restaurant were a great bonus. I would recommend that future patrons check out the Inn’s website to see what type of activities are going on as they do host events. I was not able to take advantage of this and really wish I had!!

The whole Inn was so very clean. We had everything we needed. So nice to have the dining room there to have a bowl of clam chowder and delicious sourdough toast for a light dinner and a great and reasonably priced breakfast the next morning.

Beautifully renovated historical hotel with a super friendly welcome. Our room was spotless and really comfortable. There is some train noise during the night but it didn’t bother us that much (and would have been solved by ear plugs). The coffee and muffins from the bakery downstairs were sublime.

Serenity in the mountains

This hotel is a wonderful, unique, historic building. The rooms are a little small, but there is a large sun room that is available to all guests. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. I came to visit for a quiet getaway and it was absolutely perfect.
