I didn't stay at the Inn, I came for the music. Pancake is a super friendly bartender. I had the burgers one time and the chicken tenders another both were good. Drinks are good and I didn't have to wait for refills.

Seems like a decent place to stay. I was only there visiting a friend...I like the fact that it's out in the country. It seemed quiet and cozy

This place is perfect! Literally right next to the Necedah Wildlife Refuge. The queen beds were comfy. Having a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker was a pleasant unexpected surprise. Top notch trim work throughout the room, really giving that cozy atmosphere vibe. My favorite tv channel was the Traffic Cam of an intersection somewhere. We will be back! Place is booked already 1 year out .
