This tranquil guesthouse in a historical home has grown to 24 simple rooms and feels a bit like an adult hostel. Old rooms surrounding a small courtyard now boast LCD TVs in addition to faux-wood floors and are picture-themed for area attractions. Newer rooms in a second, attached home are more modern.
