1896 House Country Inn & Motels

Vintage feel!

Interesting cosy room, lovely seats on verandah, easy walk across bridge to Inn, easy tea and coffee maker.

I checked in after hours. Key with instructions left at the front, easy to find. Room was clean and cold from the AC (thank you!).! Room smelled a bit like a motel, but nothing crazy. Bed was firm, but I slept ok.!!

We were disappointed that this "Inn" is really an older motel, run together with another older motel across the highway and a converted barn/restaurant. We should have read the descriptions and reviews more carefully. On return, after checking the listing, it was perfectly clear. Note: If you want an Inn experience, the converted barn seems to be the place to stay. On the positive, the room was quiet, the beds comfortable and everything was clear although very well worn. The 1896 restaurant was very nice and an easy walk from our 'streamside' motel room. Parking was easy and right outside the room, as motels usually are. There were two nice rockers on the covered porch also right outside the door. Less positive, the office was rarely staffed, in two days we had to wait for someone to return 'from working around the property' all three times we went to the office...including at check in. The ice machine didn't work. The heat didn't work (but the office provided a space heater that was quite adequate).
