Good location. Good communication. We liked the discount cards left for us for local restaurants, the fresh baked cookies and mints, and the robes. The only negative feedback we have was the soap bars we very thin and brittle. They definitely didn't last for two people let alone 4 of us, and cats were always on the patio furniture.

Amazing little place! Great location and the room was clean and well done. The only thing I would suggest would be better fitting sheets on the pillow top.

The Fiddler’s inn was amazing! The breakfast down the road was excellent & even had a gluten free option on the menu, which not a lot of places consider. The room was very clean & homey. Check in was super easy with a code to the door. The cats hanging out on the property were a bonus & made me miss my kitties at home a little less ;)
