Such a neat place to stay. It’s so cozy tucked in off the road. Looks recently updated. The room was perfect for us. It was so clean. The shower was a nice size, bathroom was small but was all we needed. The bed was super comfortable. Parking was great. The owners were very friendly. We walked to town I would definitely stay here again.
