My favorite place to visit and dine
Pros:

Every moment from arrival, to the perfect dinner, restful stay, complimentary breakfast, the beauty of the house and surroundings, etc. ❤️ This isn't my first visit but it is my first overnight stay. The Red Rocker Inn is one of the only places in America my anticipation goes thru the roof to return there and they always exceed my expectations. Get your reservations and see for yourself. 🇺🇸

Enjoyed the Inn, the staff, and the food!!
Pros:

Overall facility is pleasant. The owners are wonderful and convivial and very willing to accommodate our needs

Cons:

I originally picked the room of our reservation because my wife usually takes tub baths - not showers - and the pics and description said Tub. While the bathroom was recently updated, they removed the tub and had a nice new walk-in shower. I didn't realize it until later in the evening, when it was too late to try to change rooms. Not a deal breaker, but it would have been nice to know about the change in amenities.

Pros:

Breakfasts were very good and a cut above many

Cons:

Room very chilly....window next to armchair very crafty. Had to ask for a space heater which took the chill off. Dont think the room price reflected any degree of comfortability

Pros:

House and restaurant were superb.

Cons:

Some logistical issues were surprising. Nobody knew the password to the Wifi, and the manager did not respond to an inquiry by text. There was no hot water available for tea despite making the manager aware. Breakfast started delayed due to staff not being available. However, the unusual situation was not communicated to guests. Probably a fluke, but the lack of communication and courtesy were surprising.
