Great relaxing place with plenty of things to do a short distance away.
The hotel was beautiful. The town gives you a small hometown experience. Great food within walking distance. You feel like you have taken a step back in time.
Dust, spider attempting to share the bed, mouse droppings in bathroom cabinets, thick, ultra soft foam instead of a mattress, air conditioner did not truly cool but only blew air.
I wasn't allowed in...so we left.
The whole experience
Loved it a lot had a blast there with our friends and would recommend to others and would love to go back
Owners were very accommodating to us and our requests . Also great walking distance to restaurants and to have a drink somewhere. We really liked the feel at home vib. Very nice unique place. Loved it very much
Didn’t like that the restaurant in house and the bar was only open on the weekends as we were there in the middle of the week. But understand that staffing is hard if not very busy
Charming old home right on the river. Excellent location to use as a base for exploring Shawnee National forest. The owners are very warm and helpful. Feral cats and kittens greeted us on the porch.
Bathroom needs updating and better ventilation. I would say this is a fantastic place to stay so long as you aren't squeamish about cleanliness.
Historic also needs to be cleaned
