The inn was wonderful the food wonderful, the only problem was when entering our room on the first floor across from the outside fire pit Friday evening it was very damp, musty and even the bed felt damp we ran the air conditioner and bathroom fan but it did not help.

This property was spotless! For one day of our visit, my husband went fly fishing and I stayed to enjoy being at the property. Our unit was near the parking lot and it was even so quiet on this day. In the dining area, there is peaceful music playing indoor and outdoor. So nice to have a refrigerator that is large in the room that can hold leftovers from restaurants and also food from your travel cooler. I highly recommend the McKinley Edwards Inn!

Hotel was very quirky. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Friendly welcome and informtion provided. Maybe not suitable if you are unable to climb stairs as a few of the rooms involve a decent climb! Would recommend though

Weekend getaway for anniversary.
We had a great anniversary weekend . The accommodations were beautiful. Beautiful gardens, quaint room, delicious breakfast. great caretakers of a beautiful place. The biggest negative was my room was 3 floors up. I knew this going in and we packed light. The stairs to second level were good but the next level , the third level, the stairs were so narrow and hard to navigate especially with luggage. The bed was not comfortable and my husband and I kept rolling in the middle of the bed. Needs a new mattress.

The common areas were clean and cozy. However the room we booked was adequate but it was an add on and not in the inn and was nothing special. The kicker was the shower went cold after a few seconds and never warmed back up! A cold shower is unacceptable! We tried to call the office but they didn't answer. Next morning the lady in the office's response was "talk to him." His explanation was they over inhabited some of the rooms and the water heater couldn't handle it. That didn't help me. Breakfast was good and lady in the kitchen was friendly and helpful. But I would not book this "inn"'again nor recommend.

Not for elderly or people with trouble walking
It’s a very pretty area, the bed is super comfortable. However, if you are going to relax in the morning it’s hard to do it’s very noisy. Also, for elderly or anyone that has slight trouble walking it is very very difficult to walk around. Definitely not handicap accessible!
