This place was amazing. Only thing that upset us was the night we crawled in to bed there was a black widow spider crawling on the sheet. We called for service. They said they would come spring in the morning. We were there for three days never heard anything from them.

This is the second time I've stayed at The Blue Door Inn, each time has been very pleasant. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfy, the sheets are so soft and plenty of pillows. The property is clean and well managed, it's quiet and peaceful. Always a nice place to stay.

The room was very spacious but dated. The first night we were without a tv and gas logs. The second night they were able to get everything working. The carpet really needs to be cleaned or replaced. The gentleman working the front desk did try hard to get all issues resolved.
