The Walnut Room is our favorite. It has a king sized bed, fireplace, a private bathroom with a one person whirlpool bathtub, and a small lookout balcony. We love waking up in the morning and opening the French doors overlooking the incredible black walnut tree and Southern Magnolia for which the Inn is named.
The Buckeye Room has a king sized bed, private bathroom with a two person whirlpool bathtub with a window looking out to the mountains, gas fireplace, and a big private balcony.
