"Such a lovely stay at the Market Street Inn. A very charming, comfortable and feels like home kind of place. Carol and Steve are just the kindest owners. They were responsive and accommodating and always available if needed. We also loved meeting Lisa, who made breakfast each morning and took care of any housekeeping needs. We felt like we were treated as family and not just guests. The area and location is perfect, SUCH a cute little town. Plenty of restaurants, shops and entertainment within...
