We were there in Feb 2026 as a romantic Valentines getaway. The grounds are in desperate need of repair and upgrades. The stone walkway was very dangerous with raised and missing stones. The room was dark and dingy. We needed to open the windows because it was hot in our room. The window seals were full of dirt and dead bugs. We ended up checking out a day early, we just couldn't stay another night. At check out we were told the inn was starting a renovation plan in March as they were away of these issues.

If you enjoy history, you will love staying on this wonderful historic estate. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the view with the mountains, the excellent breakfast, the friendly staff, and the charming cottage room with a real antique feel in spite of the necessary bathroom addition and very comfortable bed.

I stayed in the Summer Kitchen and it was so cozy and comfy, just what i was looking for. Only issue was that the jets in the bathtub didn't work, and when I drained the tub, water came up in the shower. But it wasn't a big deal. It was spacious, and quiet and full of antique treasures. Very cool.

Had high expectations for this stay, first the good, staff, and I mean the single concierge on property was very kind, helpful and super courteous. Very nice young man.The main building has a nice early century feel dating back 300 years of history. Our complaint is with the room itself, it’s not well appointed, the bed sheets and pillows are OK but the bed is worn out and stiff ( you can feel the springs). I have the custom of rating cleanes buy the bathroom and must say that having black mold stains in the shower was the thing that made us most unhappy. There was also a small bug crawling around the ceiling. It wasn’t a terrible stay but definitely not worth the $275 rate. The place needs some serious TLC. We later found out it has new owners which recently bought the property and gave plans for renovations. My recommendation would be to do this first and then re open
