Just letting you know there is no TV, the internet was great though. We did request a queen bed and got two twins beds instead. The dinning room was good and food was great.

It is the people that make this a memorable place to stay. Everyone is so friendly, kind & helpful. Very quiet at night despite being next to a major road. We stayed over a Sunday night & it was only at breakfast the next morning we realized we were not the only guests! Be aware this is an older property, there are stairs to climb, & no tv although wifi is excellent. Make sure to take in the sunset from the deck, it really is spectacular.

Bed and breakfast style inn with a few rooms. the dinner we had out on their deck was the best part. the food was very good. the included breakfast was basic, not much to say on that. wifi was good, the room was small, and the bed needs replacing. there are no TVs in the rooms, so we watched stuff on my laptop after dinner. the sunset over the river after dinner on the deck was amazing.

Older home that once was the owners residence with restaurant attached, Molly made check in easy . Rooms are cozy and clean. Comfortable bed , being an older home there is no refrigerator in the room but a unit is provided downstairs along with coffee, tea making facilities. We ate at the restaurant in the evening, great food with a German theme. Entertainment provided by a local musician, Guitar and some self composed songs . If eating at the restaurant recommend making a Reservation as it is busy . Breakfast provided next morning.

We stayed in room #7 which is spacious, with a king sized bed and a bath. A couple of other rooms were smaller and looked a bit cramped but still very nicely furnished.
