A Good Choice
Great alternative to a vacation home rental for a short stay. We stayed in the one bedroom with a living room. It was very comfortable & relaxing. The breakfasts were typical hotel fare—scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, waffles, pastries, cereals, juices, etc. Very clean—easy location.

Clean, quiet, excellent WiFi connectivity, comfortable beds—all the important things. At registration they gave us two bottles of water as VIP Access members. We could not find any recycling bins--perhaps not available in this area? Be it known that you need to arrive by late afternoon if you want dinner, because Amish-run businesses close early.
