My husband and I loved staying here to celebrate our one year anniversary! I was concerned that the location would be noisy given it's proximity to the road; however, it was so quiet and peaceful! We didn't hear a car the entire time we were in our room or wandering within the Inn. We stayed for two nights in the Chocolate Room and it was so cozy and fun!...See More

We had a lovely stay in the Smithton Gables which Karen upgraded us to at no extra cost from our original choice of the Smithton Loft since she wasn’t sure if the air conditioning would be cool enough. It was very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing. We truly felt pampered during our stay. Highly recommended.

Went solo one night while on a location scouting trip and am returning with spouse next week. Upper room had separate living and sleeping areas, plus a walkthrough full kitchen and an outdoor nook porch. Tastefully done and very clean. Delightfully large shower bathroom. Karen is a terrific host and cooks a mean breakfast! Great location for touring.

Definitely a great place to...See More
