Summary: Beautiful 1800’s inn and grounds, and incredibly sweet staff! Our room was spacious, nicely private even though in the main house. Extra fluffy towels, plenty of charging / electric considerations, and scrumptious hot breakfast. Coffee on the upper balcony was a delight with the huge oak tree’s birds and squirrels. Wonderful stay!
