The Inn is so unique and attracts a wide diversity of guests. It’s always nice to have a simple, yet nice breakfast and meet others from different corners of the country. Housekeeping is outstanding! I’ve stayed in chain hotels that were suppose to be at the upper end and their housekeeping and guest services fell short compared to Mother Earth. Good secured facility with awesome pool and decor.
