My husband and I visited the Inn on February 11 for a Valentine's Day celebration. The Inn is located seconds from the downtown area. The room we stayed in was separate from the actual Inn. It was a two story guesthouse with a real fireplace. The Inn provides wood, and you build the fire yourself. It was very romantic—snuggling up on the couch for the evening, with a fire blazing. The room itself was very outdated, and could certainly use some renovations. The bedroom is located upstairs. On the evening that we stayed it was snowing. Each time the wind blew, snow crept in through cracks in the skylights, which were located in the bedroom. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep. My husband did mention it the following morning to the woman at the Inn, but she didn't seem to really care too much. Overall, the town and area, stores/restaurants, are great, but the Inn does need some updating.
