    The bed is perfection! Sheets and towels are lovely! The couch was cozy too. The manager Brian was incredibly nice and helpful. The Inn host (can’t recall name) greeted us at check inn and was also very nice and gave us good info around what would be open. (We went off season in the winter) Location is 100%
