This is a beautiful inn. The architecture is unique; the finishing of the rooms charming. And the price in the off season was good. The situation is a bit unique - downstairs holds a sporting good shop and restaurant/bar. The 2nd floor has more seating for the restaurant and presumably utilities. The 3rd floor has 5 rooms to let. We stayed in the smallest of them and it was a nice room with no frills, but done very well. The unique design was full of suprising angles and unique things to look at. A few very small issues - there was no check in staff/desk - if you needed to speak to a person you had to contact them at another business (we completed our stay without need for that); only half of one of the outlets near the bed worked; the elevator was so slow it was easier carrying lu

We enjoyed the beautiful view from our room and balcony. The rooms were very clean and stocked with all the amenities needed to enjoy our evening. We got to enjoy the amazing sunset and wonderful sunrise right from our balcony. The staff and owners were very helpful and offered up recommendations on where to eat and places to visit. Would go back again.

Very nice hotel. Clean room and relaxing atmosphere. Worth the price we paid for.

★★★★★ 5.0 Juliana Clink · Nov 2025

It definitely had all the wonderful benefits of a hotel but did not feel like one at all. The rooms had more of a posch & homey feeling as they were not ordinary rectangular shape but had their own nuance of space. The shower was insanely awesome with a waterfall and regular showerhead! It was easy check-in, easy check-out, clean, beautiful views, and the cafe and store attached were really cute, cozy, and delicious. It was a great middle ground place to meet our friends and decompress for the weekend.

What a lovely place! Room was fantastic and beautiful views. The cafe attached was so convenient and good too! The owner helped us get checked in and she was more than helpful and friendly. I would return and definitely recommend.
