Hidden Gem, Great Value
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful. The Inn was lovely, clean and had great beds. Morning breakfast included a lot of delicious options and the fresh popcorn in the evening was a bonus. The firepit by the river was an awesome spot for winding down and meeting new people in the evenings.

Cons:

Nothing. I would stay here again and recommend the place to friends and family.
