Our Rooms
Each of our guest rooms is unique, filled with character and timeless details. You won’t find flat-screen TVs or electronic keycards—but you will find thoughtful touches, cozy bedding, and a chance to truly unwind.
Room Types
Twin Rooms – One twin bed, perfect for solo travelers
Single Rooms – One full or queen bed, comfortable for single occupants or couples
Double Rooms – Two full beds, ideal for friends or small families
Please note: Guest rooms share a hallway bathroom, keeping with the inn’s traditional layout. These are well-maintained, clean, and refreshed regularly.
This is a family-run inn. The owner and their family live on the property in a private section of the building while guests enjoy designated guest-only areas. Please be respectful of quiet hours (10:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m.).
