A must if if in the area or to visit on its own! I have never felt more comfortable and more at ease than with the Innkeeper, Joe, whose kind and thoughtful professionalism sets a standard others should follow. A beautiful, peaceful, and kind inn is always worth a visit! Thanks Joe!

My husband and I’s mini-honeymoon stay at the Wayside Inn was great! The room we had was clean, spacious, charming, and cozy all at once. Mr. Joe the innkeeper was very friendly and was always there when we needed him for anything. He also cooks a mean breakfast and has a great knowledge of the unique history of the property. Overall, it was a great place to get away from the bustle and noise of the city and just relax! Hopefully we will get to come back soon 😊

I really enjoyed my night here! The room had so much charm, and the jetted tub and waterfall shower were lovely! The bed was very comfy and we slept very well! Breakfast was prompt and delicious! Joe was very accomodating! I would absolutely love to stay again, especially in the winter months when we could use the fireplace as well! Thanks for a lovely stay!

A wonderful old house that has become a B&B. We had our own private bath, even showering in a claw-foot tub! We concluded our stay with a fabulous breakfast.

Quaint little B&B. Breakfast was delicious, room was a good size, parking was easy, and host was great. It's an older property and had older (1980's?) soft furniture (couches) which made the whole place smell a bit like my grandmothers house. I was surprised that in early Oct that there wasn't a place to sit. It looked like the outside are was shut down for the season.

A nice stay!

I had an overall good experience at the wayside Inn. I just felt like it was dated and sort of disjointed. For example, a massage chair In the living room seemed very out of place. There was also some Christmas decorations still up That just seem to be forgotten and it is September. However, it was the most comfortable bed. I have slept iin a very long time! Joe was very nice and the end was special. I just think it would take not a lot of effort to make it seem more charming. I would still say again!
