Such a cute place, a place that is stuck in time in a very nice way. Love the colors and design, classy place and the bar tender he was so educated on wines and cocktails. Very Quaint space to have a cocktail and relax.

This is a review for the restaurant. I did not stay at the Inn. The restaurant is five stars! We went one night for cocktails on the patio, which was fantastic and returned for Saturday brunch. Food and service is excellent at this hidden treasure. Recommended.

Mother's day brunch way overpriced at $70 each, the meat really dry, rice not done, chilled soup, YUCK. The view was ok, little river but buildings and sky behind it. Bread and dessert was good. I don't favor the old antique look and vines on their building.
