My daughter and I have stayed here twice in 2 years. Nice quaint place and very friendly owners! Comfortable accommodations. I could not figure out the cable and the owners came in to help me right away. We will definitely be back again next year.

Everything was clean & there were no discernible smells. The pillows were great & the staff was helpful. Stayed mid-July 2026. The only co.plaonty bf had was that the lighting in the bathroom made shaving difficult. I have no complaints about the bathroom.

According to what I read, they were 11 miles away. It ended up being something like 28 miles away from the location that I was visiting. I found that the place was an older place and could have been cleaned up more. The rooms were not exactly clean. The sheets, the bad's the towels.All balls were well maintained and were comfortable.But I thought the place could use a clean job , especially at the sink in the shower

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Staff & service
I was very disappointed with my experience. I had a reservation and planned to pay when I arrived to check in, as I have done at many hotels. However, I was told that my card had to be charged before I was even allowed to check in. When I explained that I didn't have the funds available yet but would by the time I arrived, I asked if my reservation could simply be canceled. Instead, I was told no and was directed to contact the online booking company myself. This created a great deal of unnecessary inconvenience and stress. In all my years of traveling, I have never been required to pay before even setting foot in my room. I understand that every hotel has its own policies, but I believe this should be made much clearer before booking. Unfortunately, the lack of flexibility and customer service left me with a very negative impression.
