“Bates Motel meets the Shining!”

My husband andI recieved a gift card to this charming B&B, a year or so ago. We were ready to go explore the fall foilage and boked a nice weekend! NOT!! The reviews I had ben reading were kind! The Inn was dark when we arrived about 9pm. not sure if it was right place, overgrwn rundown. No place to turn plus we had gift card we went in only to find there was no place to eat! kitchen has been closed for over a year! Cottage was dirty cobweds, no heat in living room, no cable so no Baseball playoffs! no cell phone connection. Thinking Am may be better and not knwing where we were or where to go we stayed. Bedding was diry holes in the sheets very worn I could go on but you get the picture! we were ou tf t here first thing not only did he have the nerve to charge fullprice he also addded on 150.00 extra! said web page was not updated!! no kidding! He did give us back are out of pocket and I am working on the other. We suggested he take down the web page as well as the brochures since it is false advertising. when I got bck and checked the wed I noticed he was running a fall special on one site for $99.00 never mentioned that . Also did I mention we wer the ONLY Guest in the place!! Do not waste your time on this It did have the makings of beautiful place but not any more new owners.

“THINK TWICE... DON'T STAY HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We made reservations for this past weekend... from viewing website only, forgot to check TripAdvisor!!!! We pulled in and this place was so run down looking, over grown, broken chairs, broken swing sets, dark and unwelcoming from outside, very scary looking!!! We turned our car around and left and stayed at another reputable resort in Marshalls Creek! The manager called us about an hour after leaving this facility. I flat out told him he had a lot of false advertising going on and there was no way we were returning little alone willing to stay there!!! He simply said, "ok" and that was that! Seriously, I'm very picky and this might have been a lovely place in it's hayday.... but no longer!

“Stayed back in 2007 not 2010. Wonderful place would love to go back!”

The sterling Inn was so peaceful and relaxing. The property was kept very well and the staff was very nice. Home like setting. You get your own little cabin across from the main house. Very nice dinning area with very good food. Would love to go back again and again. A little pricey but you get what you pay for!

“It was terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This was a terrible experience. There were surprise charges when we signed in. The grounds were not kept. The stay was for the hotel but we were upgraded to cottages. We had previously stayed here with my 3 children's families and had wonderful experiences. My son and daughter-in-law left at 11pm. They found garbage under the bed. Some bugs and blood. They asked for another cottage and found it similar. It is sad to see this place being run so poorly.
