Elegant furnishings highlight the tastefully decorated guest bedrooms and suites that feature private baths and comfortable beds covered with 360 count sheets, fluffy pillows and comforters. Savor breakfast with settings of fine china, crystal, silver and linens in the Federal-style dining room. Innkeeper Bonnie's cookbook is available to bring the inn's flavor and recipes home.
