My husband and I loved staying here to celebrate our one year anniversary! I was concerned that the location would be noisy given it's proximity to the road; however, it was so quiet and peaceful! We didn't hear a car the entire time we were in our room or wandering within the Inn. We stayed for two nights in the Chocolate Room and it was so cozy and fun! The room and bathroom were so clean and the bed was exceedingly comfortable as well! Karen, the kind lady who runs the inn, was very flexible and helpful as we arrived late in the evening and left us instructions of how to get into our room. Each morning she prepared us incredible breakfasts along with coffee! She is a great host and so thoughtful! I would certainly stay again and I've already recommended this inn to numerous family and friends! We will hopefully be back! This is an excellent spot!!
