Would recommend for a brief hiatus

Charming place, inviting atmosphere, with clean linens that smelled fresh and a cozy feel that made us feel at home, complemented by the convenient location just a short walk away from the historic square and the Truman Library.

Breakfast was just okay.

Peaceful Escape in a Charming Neighborhood

Had a delightful stay here! Enjoyed quiet evenings reading on the porch surrounded by beautiful Victorian homes. Don't miss the local cafe down the street for breakfast—absolutely delightful pancakes! Consider bringing earplugs just in case for the occasional siren. A lovely place to unwind.

Charming and Nostalgic Experience

I really enjoyed my stay. The king room was spacious and well-furnished. The breakfast options were fresh and tasty, featuring delicious pastries and coffee. The welcoming touch from the owners, sharing the history of the place, made the experience feel personal. The location is perfect for exploring nearby historical sites, but I wished for a bit more variety in the breakfast menu.
