10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026

The property was absolutely beautiful in such a quaint, historic town. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable! The Inn had a wonderful bar and restaurant on site and was located near the center of town with multiple restaurants and shops.

Nothing at all! It was wonderful!

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026

Conveniently located; street parking, nicely maintained property.

The magnolias needed a little fallen leaf maintenance, but that’s really picky.

7 / 10Good·May 2026

Gardens, great location to local restaurants and art shops. Old home luxury feel.

All marks off were due to room very hot/no air movement. No fan on even though monitor on wall read temp and fan on-outdoor in 70s much cooler than inside our room. “Muffins and fruit” for breakfast with coffee were sparse for a place that has bar/restaurant and speaks of luxury and beautiful morning outdoor coffee/reading/work garden tree lined paths.

8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026

Location and renovation are great. Bar is nice- great bartender.

Asked for early check in by email and phone call. Usually check in is 3pm and asked for 2pm to get ready for a wedding. Arrived and room was just starting to be cleaned at 2pm. Also no onsite parking.
