Very Retro, think 1960’s, complete with burnt orange and avocado green decor. Pleasantly surprised! Comfortable suite. Great outdoor spaces with retro pool, putt putt, grilling area, etc. Very walkable to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

the two assoc working the night we checked in were fantastic, so friendly so nice and gave us all the details we needed even showed me where the stairs where to get to my room, took the time to show me!! Daniel and Mark were the guys and I can not say enough about them and the pool was great the rooms great will stay there again in a heart beat!!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! BUT what I would love to see is a deposit on the paddles or golf clubs instead of charging to play the games you have which I think its great you have them but going on vacation is so expensive to add that to a family is tough a deposit to make sure you get the things back is good but to pay to play is a bit much, even charge a bit less would help. but i loved this place and the two guys were great!!!

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.
