We highly recommend the Covered Bridge Inn! Our room was clean and comfortable. One of the staff, Sue, went out of her way to help us with anything we needed. She was friendly, engaging, and just simply delightful. Sue obviously loves being in the hospitality business and it shows in her smile and actions! Great place at a reasonable price.
