Historic Getaway
Very nice and quiet location. Excellence place to unwind. Room was a comfortable size. We stayed in the Garden Suite which offered a nice sunroom facing the river. Very friendly staff. Town Square is a short walk about 2 or 3 blocks. Love the historical feel.

Highly recommend this place. A charming inn with a peaceful view of and access to the river. Beautiful old trees and lots of places outside to enjoy. The room was clean. Bed and shower outstanding. The included breakfast is like no other we’ve experienced. We were waited on at our table with river view and the food was amazing. Almost has a bed & breakfast feel. Also has a tavern with wonderful food.

Peaceful serene river views
Clean, reasonable, great river views, peaceful and serene even. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel is not a new structure, everything works efficiently, but the sound barrier is nonexistent. Ie our room was right by the patio door.

Extraordinary bed and breakfast. Accommodating and quiet. Covered details like facial tissue boxes and extra pillows. Breakfast was different each of the three days. We liked the dogs there who were well behaved and friendly. This is a unique location right on the river with lounge chairs and centuries old oaks.

Very nice older Inn on the river. Very relaxing to walk down by the river or have a seat and watch it flow by. Half a block to downtown square, Sexton Feed Mill, Snyders is next to the Inns parking lot. The location can’t be beat.
Breakfast was good and all the coffee you can drink.

Very cozy with nice grounds. There are no TV's in the rooms, which we did not mind but may not be right for everyone. The bed did not have a very good mattress, so if you have a bad back the more predictable mattresses of a hotel chain may be better.

Perfect Get Away
This place was AMAZING! The house is actually a historical marker. Great story behind it. It’s 105 years old so it creaks ALL. THE. TIME. But I thought that just added charm. Very quiet and peaceful. The staff were so friendly. They allow dogs but I didn’t see one hair on anything. Rooms are small but just perfect for 1 or 2 people. They probably have bigger rooms, I’m just describing mine.
Breakfast is part of the price and ya’ll…it was 5 star worthy! Big portions and not at all what I was expecting. There is even a tavern behind it. Right on the river and very central to downtown.
