We felt spoiled to be the only ones staying there for a few days. The property was peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. Even beyond our expectations.
We needed a chill place and this was it. One improvement would be to make breakfast warmer please. But taste of this and food at the restaurant were perfect. As was the room and facilities.
Let me just start by saying the this property is so beautiful! Check in was super easy and convenient. I initially stayed in the Willow room (gorgeous and comfortable) but it became very noisy because of the wind and trees scraping the side of the building. I brought this to the hostâs attention and she was very accommodating! I was moved to another beautiful room and I was able to truly relax. This will be my new home away from home when I need to take a staycation.
Quiet quaint innâmuch nicer than staying at a motel. Excellent service! Delicious breakfast! Nice view overlooking a small lake! Classy restaurant next door! Has a chapel on the grounds and a venue for events!
The stairs are pretty dodgy. Carrying luggage on them is dangerous. To clarify steps are small and steep. Having to go up and down for luggage etc four times was an ordeal.
Also would be nice to have at least one luggage stand.
Finally there is no staff so not sure what we are rating.
Prepaid reservation for three nights, in Jan 7 and Oct 10 but I stayed two nights mainly due to item 1 and aggravated by items 2 to 4:
-item 1: insecurity due to snowstorm due to access: about 4 miles of paved secondary road with no shoulder and many trees and the final 3/4 mile without paving and shoulder.
-item 2: very bad breakfast, on day 1 (7:30 am) with 1 overripe banana and orange. Unhealthy animal protein with bacon and acceptable scrambled eggs and on day 2, NO EGGS, ONLY 1 ORANGE AND BACON is really worrying with snowstorm. -item 3: very poor customer service, Mrs. Emmy did not even bother to reply to the email dated January 9th when I informed her at 10:16 AM that I was leaving (address emmyh125@gmail.com which is in the room folder) showing very poor customer service.
4-although the bathroom is clean, there is no safety handrail, so showering is unsafe and there are many examples of people who have been injured by falling when leaving the bathroom due to the lack of this device.
Everything went very smoothly - I had a question the day we were checking in and received a prompt response. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. One minor issue - we weren't able to watch live tv. If you don't have a Roku at home, it's a little complicated to figure out how to operate the tv; then, although I have a Hulu acct, when I logged in, Hulu recognized I wasn't at home and would not allow me to watch live tv (Macy's Day Parade).
