Loved our weekend away to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Very friendly innkeepers and staff with excellent customer service. Food was fantastic as we dined in a very serene setting overlooking the well maintained grounds. Would love to make it an annual visit to enjoy the peace and quiet. Also enjoyed a tour of the quaint little town given by the cemetery historian. A truly wonderful experience.

what an outstanding experience to stay among beautiful surrondings, both in our room and the grounds. Pat, the inkeeper, answered all our question, There are so many wonderful experience here. We went to the Wolf Center and had a private tour of the sanctuary.The Observers Inn provided an hour of star gazing that was phenomenal. Julian is an hidden treasure of unusual and incredible experinces.
