We left earlier than expected so we did not take advantage of the breakfast. The patio and garden areas were very nice and looked relaxing. Our host, Janie greeted us warmly even though we were late due to the holiday traffic. She explained everything and we found our room to be very cozy, quiet, and relaxing. The bed and bath linens were nicely appointed, The bed very comfortable.

It was a good stay, the manger at the inn was super nice and I had great experience with him. I left a pair of shoes after check out, and found out the next day, called him, the manager drove for more than 1 hour to send it to me in person. My tear almost drop for what he has done, so thankful.
