We needed a place near Mount Hermon and stumbled upon this historic inn that Marilyn Monroe once stayed at. I can't wait to go back after their restaurant with a creek running through it is back up and running. The lobby staff was very helpful and kind.

Nice room, cool ambiance, tucked into the mountains so it feels adventurous, but also you'll feel very posh, with fancy things like on site market and restaurant and bar, it was a fun time!

Kind of bummed about the construction going on at the pool and restaurant and the bar was closed the majority of our stay. However the food at the diner was great. And the location is beautiful. The pillows on the bed were terrible and flat so maybe bring your own pillows.
