Inn Policies

Reserving your stay? We require a 50% deposit (or one night’s stay, whichever is greater).

We’re a tiny inn with big breakfast plans… and that deposit helps us prep accordingly (and spares us the heartbreak of a last-minute no-show).

Go ahead and book… Commitment looks good on you!

(Yes, we know technically they are different, but the end result is the same)

We get it: plans change. And while we can’t predict the future (or control the weather), we aim to keep things fair. With just a few rooms, every reservation counts. So when someone cancels, it’s not just a bummer… it’s a direct hit to our tiny operation. Here’s how we handle it:

Cancel 15+ days before check-in:

• We keep a 20% cancellation fee. Consider it our therapy cost for missing you.
• Want to reschedule? Great! We’ll knock the fee down to 10%, because we’re nice like that.

Cancel 14 to 3 days before check-in:

• 100% charge for canceled dates. Ouch.
• BUT… if we can rebook your room, we’ll issue a credit minus a 20% fee.
• Rescheduling lowers that fee to 50% – better than nothing!
• Credits must be used within 3 months and for the same length of stay. No hoarding credits: “Someday” isn’t a date we can track, and let’s be honest… we won’t remember anyway.

Note: Holiday and special event reservations are non-refundable starting 14 days before check-in. Think concert tickets… you snooze, you lose.

Cancel within 72 hours of check-in:

• That’s really last-minute, friends. 100% charge, no exceptions.
• No reschedule option either… sorry, our chef already started cracking eggs.

Third-Party Bookings:

Booked through a site like Airbnb or Booking.com? Their house, their rules. You’ll need to cancel or modify your reservation through them, not us. Think of it like borrowing your neighbor’s lawn mower… you’ll have to return it to them.

P.S. If you want personalized service and fewer middlemen, book directly on our website next time. We’ll treat you like royalty.

TL;DR:

We love having you here, and we plan hard for your stay. So please plan just as thoughtfully… and maybe buy travel insurance, just in case.

See what we did there? We’re all about charm and comfort, but also sanity and safety. So here’s the deal:

• No open flames. That means candles, incense, or anything else that involves fire or smoldering. We’ve seen too many movies to trust open flame in a 140-year-old house. Enjoy our faux flickering candles instead, they’re adorable and far less flammable.
• No flower petals, please. We get it… romance. But petals stain the linens, the carpet, and our will to live. Snap a pic for Instagram, then skip the sprinkle.
• Be kind to the antiques. Our furnishings have more history than some small towns. Treat them gently, like you would your grandmother (the sweet one, not the one who yells at Jeopardy).
• Tub Etiquette: No personal oils, bubbles, or bath bombs, please – they clog the jets and make the tub cranky. Technically, the tub is happiest with nothing but you in it. But if bath salts are your love language, we’ve got you. Let us know at check-in… a $10 add-on gets you an assortment of spa-worthy, tub-approved salts.
• Tub time ends at 11:00 p.m. This isn’t Vegas. Quiet hours are from 11pm-7am, so wrap up your soak before someone else’s dream state turns into a soap opera.
• Guests only, please. Thinking of inviting someone over? Ask first. The Inn is exclusively for overnight guests. Mr. Ray likes parties – just not surprises.

Free on-street parking is available on Main Street and 6th Street… plentiful, close, and just a few steps from our front door.

While we’re not responsible for your vehicle, we do keep an eye out… with help from Mr. Ray. He’s got a badge. It’s imaginary… but don’t tell him that.

Children:

We love kids, really! Some of the greatest people we know were once little humans.
But with delicate antiques, steep stairs, and a peaceful environment designed for rest and relaxation, our inn isn’t suited for little ones. For that reason, we welcome guests 12 and up only… no infants, toddlers, or pint-sized explorers.

Rare exceptions may be made if your group books all three rooms. If that’s your plan, give us a ring and we’ll chat. A cleaning fee may apply… especially if juice boxes, sticky fingers and bedtime meltdowns are part of your party.

Pets:
We love animals… maybe more than kids. In fact, our own cat, Mr. Ray, patrols the property daily in his official capacity as Head Cat of Yard Security and Guest Amusement. In case you approve, he is paid in chin scratches.

But guest pets? Not so much.

• We keep our guest rooms as allergy-friendly as possible.
• Most people are great pet parents… but some… have room for improvement.
• Mr. Ray doesn’t take kindly to unvetted interns.

Service animals (per ADA guidelines) are always welcome… we respect the harness.
Emotional support animals are adorable, but not legally recognized. So while we’re sure yours is a very good boy, he’s still not on the guest list.

If you’re bringing a service animal, just give us a heads-up so we can prep accordingly (and warn Mr. Ray he’s not the only VIP on-site).

This one’s easy: No smoking. No vaping. No candles. No incense. Anywhere. Anytime.

Not inside. Not outside. Not in a box. Not with a fox.

If temptation strikes, the public sidewalk is your designated zone.

Violation of this policy will result in immediate removal from the property, a $300–$500 surcharge, and charges for any room nights lost while we restore the space. No refunds. No warnings. No second chances.

Each room comes with one queen bed and a two-person max.
No rollaways. No cots. No surprise tagalongs. It’s a bed & breakfast, not a bunkhouse.

If more than two guests show up, we’ll still charge the full room rate… and unless you booked another room, someone’s sleeping in the car (hope they packed snacks).
