The Parlour. Come in and relax in front of the fire or curl up with a book in one of the wing back chairs. Flip through the many books and magazines available or maybe you'll enjoy playing the old player piano that has been in our family for 3 generations.Room 21 - The Windsor Room - A very romantic room on the third floor. You'll feel like royalty in the canopy bed or in the deep soaker jetted tub in the bathroom.
Room 16 - The John McGee Room  This is a warm and stately room on the second floor. The fireplace mantel is hand-carved cherry wood. It has 12' ceilings and the original crown moulding with 2 large windows facing North.
Enjoy the many interesting antique pieces featured inthis room.Room 20 - The Victorian Roses Suite - A gorgeous suite on the third floor featuring a king size bed. 
Relax in the jetted tub big enough for two and then curl up in the wingback chairs in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace.
Let us help you make your stay a special treat for that special person.
Room 13 - The Egyptian Room - An exotic retreat on the main floor. In keeping with the Victorian tradition for the love of all things exotic, indulge yourself in the two-person jetted tub or in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace. There are interesting books on Egypt in this room.
The bathroom features a double shower (2 shower heads) with room enough for two!
Let us help you to make this a special treat for that special person.McGee's Inn is the perfect spot for brides, grooms and their families getting ready for their special day. We strive to create a cozy family atmosphere where the wedding couple and their guests alike will feel pampered.
