I will recommend this location to all I know are traveling to the area.
Pros:

The owner, Anthony, is a hoot! All the staff at the White Lady were excellent. The bar and restaurant were great as well. Great location.

Cons:

Hmmm... the outside could use a bit of a facelift, and the heating system wasn't working quite right.
