“המיקום מעולה.
הבית מקסים, אבל החדר שקבלנו היה מאכזב מעט.
עליית גג, (היתרון - חדר שקט)מיטה קטנה ולא מאוד נוחה.
חלל השינה צפוף.
אני חושבת שהחדרים האחרים יפים ונוחים יותר.”
Book me here again and again!

“The innkeeper Chris and staff were super friendly and responsive. The room was spacious, and the location was great for walking around town after a long drive
We enjoyed the live music or simply relaxing on the porch.”
The hospitality that Chris and staff provide is so warm and inviting.
