A Good Place
Lavender Inn was a good place to stay in a great location. We enjoyed wine and cheese in the evening and their breakfast in the morning. Our first floor room was a bit dated and musty. A dehumidifier was located in the room. The room was clean and well kept. The bathroom was updated and large.
