We stayed in the "Barn", which was not in the Inn, but closeby. Room was clean, place was quiet(well, it WAS winter:). Nearby restaurant Smithville Inn was within walking distance and had excellent food. Fun bar within walking as well and great stores. Very sweet personnel at front desk and check in/check out was easy.

The room was spotless
And the staff could not have been more friendly. Extremely spacious and cozy inside. My 13 year old
Daughter and I were there on Xmas Eve and she said she felt like she was in the North Pole because of the festive lights and music. Looking forward to returning in the future. A place full of good memories.

I will say we will definitely be back. We loved everything about staying there. Our only thing was the bed- But I think it is more of my own taste. The staff was so friendly they make everyone feel so welcomed.

What a wonderful little gem ! The staff were absolutely outstanding and hospitable !! So friendly and warm we thought we were staying with family . This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. The room was so beautiful with comfortable beds and very clean and quiet. This is such an amazing little area between the wonderful Inn you can stay at that is a wonderful bed to the wonderful little shops, to the cute little restaurants. This is a place to go for even a great girls getaway! We even got pedicures done at the nail salon which was one of the best I've ever had !!! . It was just an amazing visit to feel safe while walking around and just having a really fantastic time . Even everyone working in all the shops are absolutely wonderful. This was one of the best getaways that we ever had been on thank you so much.!!
