The property is quaint and rustic. Very close to downtown and very walkable to all things. If you are coming from out of town and Uber-ed from the airport as we did, there are little options to assist with luggage. They did ultimately let us check in early which was helpful. However, if you assume you can drop your bags prior to check in, that is not an option. It states BnB but the breakfast is at another hotel a few blocks away and you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance. Also, the check in check out is all done on your own. Feels more like a shared air bnb than a BnB. Nothing wrong with this but it’s not as transparent online.

Exceeded our expectations! The photos do not do justice! After staying here, I could never go back to a traditional hotel. We didn’t want to leave our room! The views, the character, and cozy atmosphere were out of this world. The complimentary breakfast was at a separate location, but was the cherry on top of an amazing stay! WE CANT WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN!

Beautiful, stayed in the carriage house didn't make it into the main house. Was disappointed that the breakfast wasn't at the house. Breakfast was at the Lowell inn a couple blocks away reservation was required. Didn't see anywhere on the website that breakfast would be else where. Probably wouldn't have booked as it defeats the purpose for us.
