We had a great one night stay to celebrate our Anniversary. The Gvierney room was so comfortable, the bed was soft and we enjoyed the jetted bathtub. Would definitely book it again.
I love old houses
This one is a meticulously kept architectural dream . Well kept and wonderfully decorated. Bed was comfy. Breakfast at the Lowel inn was delicious.
We had a wonderful visit to the Aurora Staples. It was just a little away from the main area, so it was quiet and convenient. Very Charming. We stayed in the Riverview room which had a small porch and a hanging swing. Very nicely decorated.
Touchless entry was convenient and flexible.

Every property has been to our expectations all very enjoyable
We booked the St Croix Suite to celebrate a milestone birthday with mom/adult daughter. The room was lovely with a seating area and fireplace, so we settled in before walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was dark, but we felt safe.
A good hill climb, and more time relaxing. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is big enough for two.
The bed was a King, and very comfortable. You do not feel movement of the other person, and we slept great.
I would definitely book here again!!
Also breakfast at the Lowell inn, just down the hill was delicious. We both ordered the eggs benedict and were not disappointed.
Super comfortable room. Beautiful house. Everyone was quiet the night I stayed there. Walking distance to the central district. The sun room off the Riverside Suite has a nice table for work and the territorial view is quite pleasant. Would stay there again.
