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.

Cute inn
This is our second stay here with my daughter as a mom-daughter overnight. The inn is pleasant and the location is great. The room was too hot, which made it difficult to sleep at times. The St. Croix suite was lovely. Would stay there again. I do miss the morning breakfast as the breakfast at the nearby restaurant was lacking.

Nice place, and would stay again!
Stay was very good. The hot tub in the room is actually a luke warm tub. However I kind of understand, as hot water would probably create moisture problems in the room over time. Very well kept historic house. The chocolates when entering, and in the room are a nice touch. Nice place!
