It was a very old house so the structure was a bit uneven ( used to be home of the girl who was the inspiration of Anne of Green Gables). They had a Tesla destination charger which was helpful.

The Inn is very dated. The room was ok. No fridge. We requested the sheets to be changed, due to stains and housekeeping was quick to take care of it. Bathroom was clean. Blackout curtains could use another panel. Overall it was ok for one night. Price was too high.
