Pepper Tree Inn

Pepper Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Great location & accommodations for the price. Parking was helpful & the inn was within walking distance to several restaurants/the lake as parking in town is difficult. The room was clean and cozy. Ice, coffee and toiletries were available which was nice when traveling light. The view from my 6th floor room was amazing of the lake! Definitely recommend and would stay again."
