The weekend breakfast was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful to all patrons. The room was clean and inviting. We loved staying in one of the many rooms in the main house. Not only is the town quaint, it is only a short drive away from Salem and other parks in the area. Definitely worth the visit and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique stay!

Staff was very nice and helpful with late check-in. Room was very clean, big comfortable bed, and lovely view from the balcony. Only complaint is that the walls are very thin and we could hear the people next door very loudly, and could hear outside very loud as well. Overall positive experience and would book again.
