9.2/10 Wonderful! (346 reviews)
Very cute property. I marked it down for 2 reasons: (1) bathroom has a sliding door with a 2” gap that is easy to peer in and out of and is not private so if you’re traveling with a new partner, just something to be cautious of, and (2) my room was not quiet at all. I’m not a light sleeper but I could hear road noises and sounds of people walking by and setting up at the park across the street. Overall, the property is cute, and I love the patio social hour. I would probably come back!

Staff friendly when you get them, but seems to be light on staff for shuttles, room service and general inquiries. Also do not stock mini fridge which seems odd now a a days. Landed and to get water sent to room would have taken 1hr 45mins. Online order/scheduling, no one would pick up phone… they also gave another family our room so had a little surprise when we were getting ready.. beautiful property but a lot of low hanging fruit to be a great one

9.6/10 Exceptional! (463 reviews)
Carriage House Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. Michelle was beyond welcoming and responsive to every need. The room was spotless and all snacks and Perrier water as well as coffee and tea were complimentary. The breakfast was also complimentary, made to order, and delivered at your specified time hot and fresh to your room. Incredible. Waters and sparkling apple cider replenished each day, as were the basket of snacks. The cherry on the cake was a lovely and extensive happy hour, with the amazing Kevin hosting, every afternoon at 5. Wine, apps, fresh baked cookies and meeting the other guests….it was just lovely. I have never been anywhere as customer service oriented. Everything about Carriage House was flawless. 10 out of 10.
