Guest Reviews

We needed a quick getaway, someplace, relaxing, quiet, intimate and with good service. The Oakwood Inn met all of our expectations and then some!! From check-in to check out.

We came upon The Oakwood Inn by chance while visiting a loved one in a care facility 2 miles from the Inn. It was also our wedding anniversary. From reading all the excellent reviews, we decided to stay. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and charming. Bridgette and Bill provided 5 star hospitality will all the small details. Breakfast was delicious every morning. We will definitely be back.

We selected room 301, the upper level suite that boasted a private...See More

From the day we booked our stay to the time we left the innkeepers were friendly and communication was so helpful. The inn is absolutely beautiful -- extremely clean, well appointed, comfortable, many areas to relax and visit with our family, gorgeous landscape, and delicious breakfasts. I would not absolutely recommend this bed and breakfast. We would love to go back!
