Meet your Innkeepers
​We're Amy and Dan, and this is genuinely our home.
Over the years, we’ve restored two 19th-century houses on Main Street because we believe the best stays feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to place and home.
​
We greet guests by name, remember the details that matter most, and work to make every stay feel warm, easy, and well cared for.
​​
And somewhere between the first cup of coffee
and the last bite of breakfast…
No one’s in a hurry anymore.
​
Stories are shared. Laughter shows up unexpectedly.
​
And for a little while… everything feels just right again.
​​
This is what it feels like to stay with us.

Amy & Dan Smith, Innkeepers
