Everything worth knowing
The honest details, pets, check-in, the building, and how to find us.
Common questions
FAQYes, free on-site parking comes with every room, one space per room right outside your door. Leave the car all weekend and walk to downtown; you won't need it once you're here.
Self check-in, any hour after 3 PM. Your room has a keypad deadbolt with a code unique to your stay; we text it the morning you arrive. No front desk, no waiting, pull in and let yourself in.
Two rooms are pet-friendly, #103 Farmhouse Queen and #105 Garden Queen, for a $50-per-pet fee. The remaining rooms are kept pet-free for guests with allergies, so book one of the two if you're traveling with a dog.
We're a self-serve inn, so there's no breakfast service or shared kitchen. Every room has a Keurig with K-cup coffee and tea, and a half-dozen cafes and bakeries are a five-minute walk down the avenue.
It's a mix. Ground-floor rooms have parking and a step-free entrance at the door. The upstairs rooms (#201, #202, #205, #204) open off an exterior walkway reached by a flight of stairs, there's no elevator, so ask for a ground-floor room if stairs are a concern.
It's a lovingly kept older building near the heart of a lively little town, so you'll hear some life around you, footsteps on the walkway, the creek, the occasional train horn. It's part of the Manitou charm, but pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
