I was going to give this inn 1-star but after seeing the interior of the house, I added a star. Let me explain.... We ended up being placed in the Inn "annex". Never accept a room in it!!! It's a dated motel style room that really needs to be simply closed. As for the Inn itself, it's in real need of maintenance on the outside and the clutter removed on the inside. On a positive note, the breakfast was great and the room rate was great! I've attached some pictures of the "annex" area to help make my point.

Good value for the price.
It's kind of a quirky place with stairs that have a high rise, so a big steps up. Warning, if you're in the main building take a smaller bag to carry up whatever you need for the night. I wouldn't even try to get my suitcase up those stairs. The rooms are nicely decorated, however there were no curtains and the blinds although I managed to lower them, they were missing parts and I couldn't raise them once they were lowered. The bed had a sprung mattress which was really squeaky and I was surprised to discover there was no TV in the room, however they have a comfortable common room with a TV if you don't mind socializing. The wifi was good so if you have a laptop you're fine. The setting on the river looks amazing, but it actually sits on a pretty busy highway so I got to listen to transport trucks all night. It has a newer out building, however I have no idea what those units are like. The dining room has a lovely view of the river and bridge, and the food was good, but don't expect tablecloths and fancy table settings. It's a small family run inn and I can see they are trying very hard to make it a comfortable, homey inn and it does have a cozy feeling. The price is great in comparison with other hotels in the area and having the restaurant makes it worth booking. I suggest you call directly and request a room on the river side if you're a light sleeper.

I liked the river behind the property very pretty...I liked that the room had a deck...I did not like that there were 2 skinny curtains on the sliding glass door that didn't cover the window....I didn't like that the light on the back deck was on all night and lit up our room...no privacy....the hosts were nice but we didn't spend much time in the main building...we needed to check out at 7am because we got a screw in our tire and had to have it repaired...not sure if related but there was a car with 2 flat tires in the parking lot.

The service was excellent and thoughtful. The view from the dining area is incredible. Somewhat limited but tasty breakfast with great service. The property has a very cute, cozy bed n breakfast vibe. The bed was comfortable and clean. The room was a little dated but that was expected. I enjoyed a very nice stay and would definitely stay again.

Comfortable bed, the room could use a little updating. Clean bathroom. Quiet, peaceful setting with balcony overlooking the river. Breakfast choices were wonderful- quiche, pancakes, oatmeal, eggs, all the typical fare. Delicious!

Wonderful kind staff at check in. Kitchen was closed for dinner for our date (certain days of the week I guess) which we didn’t know—which defeats the point for us as we were only staying the night. So after driving 6 hours to rest for the night, we had to power nap and go drive in to town for food, which was a bummer. The house feels like you’re staying at a relatives place which is cozy. There is a lot of semi truck noise on the main road, and we are from NYC, so for me to say it was loud was kind of surprising. Overall, it was fine for the night but not our vibe. Appreciate the pet friendly atmosphere! They do offer breakfast from 730-930am, however it is a sit down and order breakfast which we were not able to enjoy because we had a time constraint to get back on the road and would have loved to just grab and go, but we thought that was a cute touch they offer. Does not feel like a hotel at all-feels again like an ole relatives place. :)
