The Experience
Whether you are here for the historic charm, the river views, or a regional adventure, we invite you to make our inn your third space.
The Lobby: Your Third Space
More Than Just a Room.
Our historic lobby is designed as your 'third space'—a cozy extension of your room where you can unplug and unwind. It is a comfortable gathering place that isn't work and isn't home.
- Vintage Grand Piano: Sit down and play a tune, or enjoy the music of other guests.
- Board Games: Grab a classic board game from our library and enjoy a game night by the fire.
- Relax & Read: Sink into our plush seating with a good book and complimentary coffee or tea.
We invite you to stay a while, connect with others, and create lasting memories.
