My wife and I were welcomed late Friday afternoon by the family that owns / runs the inn. They were warm , welcoming and friendly. They even kept their children up late so they could greet us and show us around / give us the key to our room , after that they gave us great recommendations for local spots to eat and drink at . Our room was spacious and had its own bathroom that overlooked the back yard . The bed was comfortable and we had plenty of bedding. The bathroom and shower were nice and came with plenty of towels , soaps , etc. On both of our mornings one of the owners made us a delicious two course breakfast , and waited on us hand and foot with food and drinks.
