We stayed one evening at the 1896 house and wished we coud have stayed longer. Beautiful furnishings, clan, and such attention to detail. We wanted for nothing. A perfect spot.

Staying Brookside was the best choice by far. Nothing like sitting in an Adirondack chair by a babbling brook yards in front of your motel room with rocking chairs in front. A lovely bit of yard and then really convenient parking steps away. My... read more

The 1896 House was a wonderful, friendly inn that was the perfect setting for our romantic getaway. We loved the fact that our suite had a private entrance, and couldn't hear a single sound coming from the suites on either side of us. The staff is... read more

We found the inn easy to find right out of the town center. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was outstanding; much more than a continental. A perfect getaway and we shall return! read more

Not too hard, not too soft...not too cold, not too warm...just right! Just right says it all. From the size of the tub to the gas fire place. From the first hello, to the last goodbye, everyone was friendly and helpful. Wine-screw hair dryer,... read more
