Charming and lovely Inn. Great location. This is where I send my family and friends when my house gets full! New owners a couple of years ago. Reserve early. Check it out!

I’ve stayed with them for a collective period of almost two weeks over the past year and it is the only place that I will stay. Very clean and comfortable plus the owners and staff are wonderful people who will make you feel right at home! Read less

What a fantastic time! Kate and Dustin were very attentive and accommodating. Great breakfast, comfortable beds and wonderful service. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Oriental.

I love this little Inn! The owners are so nice, and they have made the Inn feel so homey. Lots of thoughtful touches. Feels like a home away from home. I also had some car trouble on my way there between a cracked sunroof and then a flat tire that occurred as I was arriving in Oriental, and the owner went out of her way to try and help me. They also have a great breakfast. Highly recommend. Read less
