Had a 3 night stay for our 50th wedding anniversary! Absolutely loved our experience!!! The room was beautiful with a spectacular view! The staff… from the inn keeper to the restaurant staff, to the housekeepers were all so very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. The food was amazing! This is by far one of the most enjoyable getaways we have shared! Look forward to our next stay!

Had brunch at the restaurant, the food was superb. Fresh complimentary biscuits were hot and perfect, the salmon tartar was fresh and had fantastic flavor. The wagyu burger was delicious and my filet mignon with egg was a wonder take on steak and eggs. Service was very friendly, all the food was above our expectations. Will be back!

We are so glad we did! The room was lovely, with a small porch on which to enjoy an evening glass of wine and the beautiful view. Our dinner was amazing, breakfast delicious and all service was top...See More
