A wonderful Inn with exceptional staff. Bridgette and her staff are truly professionals in their delivery of exceptional standards. You won’t regret eating at the FM restaurant. Beautiful setting. Austin was a great waiter and TJ was a very relaxed and cool bartender.
Loved the experience from beginning to end. 1000% going back. Looking forward to it.
