I would definitely revist and would rent the entire 3 suite 2nd floor for famly

Atmosphere! An incredible historic mansion across the street from a public park, plenty of onsight parking, and an amazing bespoke breakfast. But the greatest contributor to the atmosphere is Dennis the innkeeper, he's simply charming, knowledgeable about the historic house, and full of tales.

Amazing venue!

Dennis was wonderful the whole way through the planning process and even more wonderful on the day of the wedding. Him and his team provided some of the best service we ever had! The venue was elegant and the ceremony was perfect and was a big hit with our guests. The venue was perfect for our "historical" theme as well! The servers were pleasant and fun, and the food was amazing. Seriously some of the best food ever! Dennis was able to play our music through his iPad and speakers which was a huge help. Extremely affordable for everything you get! Having your event at the Inn is definitely recommended for so many reasons!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
