Beautiful place. Friendly staff. Drove in at night and couldn’t find the office to check in. There was another couple wandering back and forth trying all the doors looking for it too. Also the coffee was terrible. But they offered a lovely choice of complementary pastries to enjoy with the coffee. I left it and took hot chocolate. Beautifully decorated for the holiday.

I had a wonderful stay at the inn. The inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There was a wonderful festive air. I appreciated being too able to travel with my dog, who enjoyed the inn as much as I did. I definitely plan to come back again. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, especially manager. Michelle. highly recommend this and to all those seeking a wonderful festive experience

We loved how private our room was. We were in the second to last building up on the hill and it was so quiet and our balcony looked out into the woods. The whole property is very picturesque, although our room was a little dated and had a large air gap in the front door (which made the front vestibule very cold when the night temp dipped to 7°!)

I personally love the Publick house! This was my first staying in the motor coach area! Room was better than expected ! We took the king room ( complaint ( it’s directly next to maintance room ! The following morning Saturday about 7:00 am smashing of doors and stuff hitting the wall this went on all day! Wasn’t happy about that house keeping needs to keep in mind there are people sleeping ! Second issue was with front desk manager the girl with the glasses! She was snippy and quick to point out factors of using a third party booking site! That they wanted to charge me an extra 46.00 to my card to cover room service and other things if you spend it I get it back in about a week? Weird policy! I explained there wasn’t enough on my card to do so , I offered to hand her a 100.00 bill ( quickly exclaimed they don’t take cash) lol I said oh it didn’t state that when making reservation that’s when she said I used a third party site to book and they can’t control what you know or don’t know do to booking through site ! I said oh so we need to cancel our two day reservation? She said I’ll let it go this time for next time please beware ! Which I’m fine with ! Update your hotels info on these sites ! She has always been a serious and quick to snip back hostess they also had two weddings that weekend I’m assuming stress of all that didn’t help ! I will 100 percent Stay with them again I love it there
