A truly magical stay filled with warmth, charm, and unforgettable hospitality—an experience I wouldn’t trade for anythin
Pros:

We stayed two nights at this beautiful estate inn, and from the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Shelley, the concierge, who is truly the heart and soul of this one-of-a-kind place. She personally introduced herself, gave us a tour of the property, and made sure we felt right at home.
Each morning, we were greeted with a delightful spread for breakfast—fresh fruit, muffins, warm cinnamon bread, and a variety of egg options, all beautifully prepared and delicious.
The inn itself is decorated majestically, with elegant paintings, unique artwork, and antique furniture that gives it a charming Victorian feel. Our room was no exception—beautifully appointed with vintage touches, comfortable beds, and kept impeccably clean.
Between the exceptional service, the enchanting atmosphere, and the overall comfort, I truly wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting the area again.

Exceptional stay – unique, welcoming, and truly memorable
Pros:

Our stay at Ben Conger Inn was outstanding and truly unique. The room was immaculately clean and instantly gave the feeling of staying in a real American-style home, warm, comfortable, and full of character rather than a typical hotel experience.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with incredible warmth, and the level of care throughout the stay was exceptional. Everything was arranged smoothly and thoughtfully, with easy access to the rooms and great attention to detail to ensure comfort and convenience at all times.

The breakfast was excellent, fresh, and generously prepared — and the Cinnabon was simply the best we’ve ever had, a highlight we still talk about. It added a special, personal touch that made the mornings unforgettable.

The landscaping and interior decoration of the inn are extremely unique, beautifully maintained, and full of charm, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere both inside and outside the property.

Overall, Ben Conger Inn was a unique and carefully chosen place to stay, offering comfort, authenticity, and outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and memorable experience.

Quaint and hospitable place to stay,
Pros:

The property was clean and well maintained. Shelly was extremely hospitable. We had to leave before breakfast was served and she made sure she had prepared fresh coffee and to go cups, fresh muffins, fruit and so much more before we left. Will definitely be back to enjoy the full breakfast experience and set up a lunch or dinner gathering.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were visiting the area for a wedding. The breakfast was delicious. We had to leave early to beat a storm but they still gave us a to-go box for breakfast to eat on the road. So nice!
