We booked 1 night. Within 10 minutes after arrival we added a second night. The place was great. Spacious, clean, had all amenities to make the stay comfortable. Complete kitchen with pots and pans, dishes, coffee maker and ground coffee, toaster, you name it. Cafes, restaurants and galleries in walking distance. Very quite at nighttime, so we could sleep with open window.. would stay here again.

Debra

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: The room was super clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was hot with lots of pressure. There were eating places within walking distance. Internet service was good. Cons: Could hear people walking outside and upstairs which was very loud and annoying. The room had a king bed but was otherwise fairly small. The owner did give us a $30 refund and offered to move us to a bigger room.

We stayed in the Family Cabin and we loved it. It wasn't near the actual Pioneer Inn but not too far. It was in a residential area. The house was lovely. Lots of room for a family. Kitchen and dining area as well as a living room. Would like the tv to be easier to figure out. There needs to be directions somewhere to help us. I would recommend for two couples or a family and we would come back. It was great!
