This is a extremely nice place to stay, very clean rooms and property. The owner, she was extremely nice and helpful, she made checking in and out very easy also. My only personal issue was as a tall and heavyset guy the bathroom fixtures were difficult to use comfortably. Besides that this was a very nice place to stay. It met all the needs of a couple wanting to sight see throughout the day then come back to a quite, clean place to sleep for the night.

Old hotel that is completely renovated--even the parking lot. Simple but clean and modern. Comfy bed, helpful staff, very convenient location.

A truly old fashioned cabin vibe with great updates. Location worked great for our trip with easy access to everything we wanted to see. The staff was super friendly. Very clean. This is an older property so it is small, our room was not one pictured so I was surprised a bit by the size. But it is perfect if you plan to spend most of your time site seeing .

Solid, reasonably priced. Helpful staff even tho we missed texts and signs. Office does close early so if you’re arriving late call to check in before 8.

The entire interior was new. Very quiet. Cool amenities such as bbq(s) multiple. Staff is amazing!! I needed a park pass printed and the nice lady at the front desk printed it right up (after helping with formatting it). I booked the same day as arrival and she sent me my room entry code via text. Although her text was clear, I was tired and misread it. I called at 9:30 pm, she walked me through getting in and couldn’t have been nicer. Also, the Inn is right across the street from a great supermarket and the price of the room was fantastic. Super stay and a wonderful property!!
