Meh...
I really wanted to love this quaint place, but left feeling like I really couldnt recommend it. Lots of little things added to a horrible night's sleep.

Not a Chain!
Only passing through the area, but this was a cute hotel. Very homey touches. Loved the option for a triple room. Could use a fresh coat of paint and new carpet, but its obvious that theyve put a lot of effort into refreshing the place. Cinnamon rolls at
breakfast were delish!

Staff very courteous and helpful. Traveling with pets. They gave me a lower floor room to make it easier. Breakfast was awesome. If you left hungry your own fault. Would absolutely stay there again. Thank you so much.

Highly recommend. Will definitely return.
My family & I stayed the night as we had to visit an inherited property in the area. Not only is this place adorable, but it was everything we needed. It was extremely clean, comfortable, & home like. On top of it, the breakfast was great & the staff was extremely kind & accomidating. We will definitely stay here every time we are in the area as we deal with our inheritated property. A 10/10 for sure. It is older but very well maintained with necessary upgrades so it is not at all run down.

I needed a last minute room and a really late check in. The lady at the front desk was very nice and was a quick check in process. The room was everything we needed for the night. Clean and cozy!

TRAVELLERS BEWARE! this hotel was terrible they offer a home made breakfast and the roof didnt leak, those were about the only 2 good things about this place. To put it short and to the point, they charged me another 250 dollars for smoking in their room when my guests nor i smoke at all! When i tried to argue the fact they just hung up on me and refuse to give me my money back.

The breakfast was amazing! The room was great - clean, comfortable. We loved it. So the cattle processing place across the street was a little distracting, but to me it just added to the ambience! Loved it and would recommend it!
