The main house is beautiful, restaurant was good and bar cozy the first night. Second night there was a possibility of snow. No fire in bar fireplace because bartender didn’t want people hanging out. She wanted to go home. Restaurant closed for breakfast, due to possible snow. Weather was not bad and other restaurants in town were open.
Our bedroom (we had queen room) and our friends’ room (they had king room) were so small we could hardly move around in them. Not having pictures of the rooms on your website should have been a clue to us. We were not in the main house and our room had very loud old heater that kept us up.

Location on Main Street.
We booked a king size room in a historic B&B style home and were stuck in a tiny room in the "bunk house", which was outside the main house and at the end of the parking lot. The nite was cold and rainy, which added to our "displeasure" of having a room you had to walk outside to get to, if you wanted to get to the lounge, restaurant, etc. The bed was small and had no support, probably the most uncomfortable bed we've slept in.
We had no idea prior to arrival that we were placed into the bunk house and our booked room was not available. they were out of king size rooms. Parking lot too small. We were in town for a holiday play at the Playhouse, which ended around 8:30p, headed back to the restaurant in the main house and were told they stopped taking food orders at 8:30p. We asked if we could just get a snack or something simple but she came back and said no, that they couldn't accommodate us. We got there before 9p and shortly after 8:30p.

Coffee and chocolate croissant in the morning was so good. The fireplace hang out areas were inviting. Location was perfect. The staff were amazing, especially Victoria.
Small rooms and a little pricey.
2.5 / 5.0
The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The bathroom door had a glass window and no curtain. Why even have a door? Toilets are for private issues. Cover the window. I booked my reservation on a travel website. Later i contacted the hotel directly to ensure getting a room in the main house. I had not but a nice gentleman on the phone rearranged my reservation and told me it would be around $40 additional dollars. I was $113. A bit more. Regardless it was a great stay and we will return.
4.5 / 5.0
Would have liked to see more than muffins & coffee for breakfast, like some fruit & protein?
Loved sitting by the fire in the little room next to entrance, but gotta find a more “comfy” sofa!
Not having a bigger room!

No staff available to help with luggage.....room amenities lacking ..tiny make believe fridge....lock set on room door broken.....HVAC seemed to be a afterthought...it blew directly on the head when in bed.
