Even without restrictions, we will continue to operate with additional procedures in place. We are a small business that has always had a strict cleaning plan. Our inn is also our home and as such we have always taken great pride in its cleanliness. But with COVID-19 we have taken a closer look at our procedures and implemented additional sanitation processes and modified operations. For those visiting our inn we want to make you aware of these changes and ask that you help us in this process.

At the present time, there is still a risk associated with any travel.
