This is a wonderful place to get away and relax. It's very close to so many things to do. It's also a perfect setting to just enjoy the quiet of nature. We stayed in the Black Walnut Suite which was so nice and comfortable. Shwana and Dave are wonderful hosts!

This is an absolutely beautiful inn in a pretty location. Once we discovered it, we always stay here when visiting our daughter in the area. It's a unique place.

We loved our stay in the west end cottage. It is quiet, cozy, and secluded. Breakfast was great, cooked fresh and served at the lodge. The location is very close and convenient to both hiking and Carbondale. Innkeepers were friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
