This is a historic Inn, with lovely grounds and a nearby historic village that transports you into the past! This place was quaint, and there are always weddings happening every time we go. The Tavern is nice also, if a bit pricy. We stop in to their Bake Shoppe for the lemon cream cake whenever we drive through 😊

We stayed in the motor lodge portion of the property. It was very affordable. The grounds are really nice and we enjoyed dinner in the tavern as well as drinks later on in the evening. It has such a wonderful colonial New England feeling we absolutely loved the atmosphere. (We were in the lower level.)The bake shop was a wonderful spot to hang out for coffee and pastries complementary in the morning. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations and we would stay there again for sure.

With a variety of price points for the rooms this was a great stopping point for our weekend travels! If you’re just staying overnight, go ahead and choose one of the lesser priced Lodge rooms and make sure you enjoy the breakfast in the morning! For a true tree upgrade And take one of the public house rooms in the main buildings. I love that you have a variety of options. The restaurant was wonderful and we will definitely be back.
