The room looked pretty recently updated, had a soaking tub in it as well as a shower. Restaurant right across the street, and walkable Main Street. The hot pool outside in the trees was a little creepy when looking for it in the dark, but it was very clean and we had it all to ourselves this time of year. It was a nice find off the beaten path!

Shower is a little small you can turn around in it, but you couldn’t raise your arms to wash yourself . but they’re very very firm. no counter desk just two nightstands two beds also no shelving or counter space and bathroom. We’ve stayed here many of times and had a great experience. This was the worst.
