Inn at Mitchell House

Lovely, welcoming place to stay. Owners are charming, and food was delightful! Comfortable, clean bedrooms. Because it is an older home, there is no elevator to the second floor where the bedrooms are, but once you are there, it is easy to stay up there! Strongly recommend. Ask owners for helpful tips on restaurants, activities, etc.

It was my wife's birthday and I wanted to do something incredibly special for her. Both being teachers, we needed an escape before heading back to school. My wife gave me two criteria: "no big cities and somewhere I can literally just sit and read and exist for two days." While I was planning this, I think it took me three weeks to not only find it but to make sure it truly was the perfect place for her. We just got back and had the best time. It was an experience we will never forget. We did not stay at the Inn itself, but right around the corner on the property at the Stones Throw Cottage. We had the cottage all to ourselves for two days. Nobody to bother us, nothing to worry about. Five gorgeous and comfy rooms...all to ourselves. A beautiful den / sitting area, with TV, plenty of books to read, a comfy couch, on which we both took amazing naps. There's a wonderful gas fireplace which we didn't use or need. A super big dining area, a full kitchen, chock full of every appliance one would need...plates, dishes, glasses, huge sink, everything we have in our home kitchen. There is even a stackable washer / dryer combination just off the kitchen. A huge full bathroom and an amazingly comfy bedroom, with a canopy queen bed, lots of windows for natural light, even more books to read, and a TV, which we never used. Vaulted ceilings as well with ceiling fan. Thermostat for the whole house in the bedroom helped keep the place cozy and comfy. The driveway is circular and roomy. The grounds of the Cottage are well manicured and just gorgeous. The place is inviting and we couldn't be happier with our time away. Jim and Tracy were super welcoming and kind. We had a chance to talk to Tracy one afternoon as we walked over to the Inn and enjoyed two hours of sitting in their Adirondack chairs and listening to literally nothing at all, other than the bullfrogs in the pond and the birds. Their two adorable Golden Retrievers even came out to meet and play with us. We also saw a bald eagle. Jim and Tracy have their own herb garden and upon arrival at the Cottage, Tracy had put some freshly-picked herbs on the counter in the kitchen. These folks are the kindest and most incredible hosts and we cannot thank them enough. If you are looking for a getaway for a couple of days or a week, the Inn at Mitchell House and/or the Stones Throw Cottage will fit your wishes to the "T". Easy to find, just drive slowly on the gravely driveway leading up to the property. We look forward to seeing Jim and Tracy once again in the future and proudly recommending their place to friends, neighbors and colleagues who may be looking for a getaway. The Inn at Mitchell House is nothing short of perfection on all front. Thank you Jim and Tracy!
