- "Everything was perfect. Before arriving, the Assistant Innkeeper, Savannah contacted us to give us some information before arriving and asked us for an approximate time of our arrival so they could be prepared to greet us. The Inn is beautiful and has a great history. Each of the rooms has their own character. We spoke with most of the staff while there, and had several conversations with Brenda, the owner and learned a little more about the Inn and grounds. The included breakfasts were amazing. Chef Kader created a different delicious breakfast choice every morning we were there. Ben, the lead steward, who served our breakfast one of the mornings was a great conversationalist, and also gave us more information about the Inn and area. We had dinner in the Inns restaurant two different nights, and Chef Gunther does a wonderful job with the meals and the presentation. They were delicious and perfectly proportioned. We left each satisfied but not stuffed."

- "Beautiful location. Beautiful hotel. Great staff" - "Very comfortable bed, golf course only 15 minutes away. The views are spectacular and the beds very comfortable." - "Perfect place to bring the family for a weekend away and to see Ice Castles (about 40 min drive). The farm is great, the restaurant is exceptional, the staff is friendly and helpful, the decor is beautiful. I hate modern hotel design but the beds are comfortable. Usually with older inns the beds are not comfortable. This was NOT the case here and the beds were so great. I'm a side sleeper and have trouble sleeping in general and this was just perfect. The kids loved the indoor pool."
