Our room was located right next to the river, with a window looking out towards it. Each room had either a deck or front patio for guests to enjoy a cup of coffee at, and take in the scenery. The food was a little pricey but absolutely delicious and the restaurant offers plenty of outdoor seating, facing the river. There are tons of hiking spots nearby, as well as a brewery. I highly recommend this quaint little Inn.
