We stayed here for our honeymoon. Michelle, Eric, and the rest of the staff were outstanding! They even brought flowers to our room for my wife's birthday! The food was stellar (even for someone with celiac disease), the rooms were great, and the location is easily walkable to main street without being overrun with other vacationers. I would highly recommend staying here! Thank you all for making our trip wonderful!

Very Nice

Nice Inn on a busy street. Short walk to Main Street. Exterior is beautifully landscaped and a nice front porch. Our room was a bit small, but very clean and comfy. Hosts are busy but helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious.
