Beautiful historical Inn! Great location for dinning and shopping downtown. The house does need several repairs outdoors and I’m need of severe pressure washing and deck cleaning and repainting.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The Herren House is historic and meets all of the charm of a house that old. The location was absolutely perfect to walk to town for shopping and meals. It was very clean but dated. The check-in was seamless, automated, but impersonal. The room was spacious but chilly. Additional blankets and a rug or drapes to close would add to the warmth. I'd stay there again but plan on the chilly room better.
