The rooms were fine, the location is good, and the breakfast was excellent. The proprietors we're a little uptight, but generally accommodating.

Good news: We were able to check-in early. Not so good news: 1) One of the bedroom bathrooms/shower had mold. 2) There were spiders hanging from the kitchen/dining area. My wife watched one about ready to drop on my head!
