Happy Find!
We stayed here after attending a wedding at The Barn in Dunvilla, which is only about 10 minutes away. We called ahead for a late check-in, and they were incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

Great value. Nice staff. Disappointing internet with massive buffering and loss of access. An issue for many small towns staff said.

Nice visit
The owner was very nice and helped me find some more quirky things to find (the pelicans). They have renovated it so the google image is very old photo. The only thing i would suggest is a small table or ironing board so can play cards/games.

Very friendly management. Room was upgraded nicely. Only slight negative was using the TV. It was an internet-type, which made it difficult to find local news programs.
