This is a charming hotel that has a lot of character. It is over 100 years old. Guests need to know there are no tvs or ac, but it makes for a nice place to wind down. If you want to get away, this hotel will do the trick.

It is an historic hotel deep in the mountains so it does not offer amenities that many hotels would like a pool. That’s not necessary as it offers such beauty and tranquility along with a great breakfast, cafe and a bar. Sit on the 100 footlong porch and rock yourself happy.
