10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was only for one night, however, we enjoyed it very much! The Owner was super communicative and helpful, willing to check us in earlier as we were rushing to get ready for a wedding, and had the rooms nicely cleaned. The Arrowhead Inn itself is an older Inn, but it has been kept very clean, modernized with good comfortable beds, a big screen tv, and fun amenities on site like a firepit for folks to use! Overall, we loved the stay and would 100 percent stay again."
