Unfortunately, the Terrace Room did not match the impression given by the website photos and did not meet expectations for the $239-per-night rate. The room is on the ground floor with a private entrance (which was great!), but it is located directly beside the owner’s suite, with the terrace facing the entrance to the owner’s residence. As a solo traveler, this setup made me feel uncomfortable and I did not want to utilize the sitting area. There were also cleanliness issues, including noticeable brown stains on the curtains, red stains on the carpet, and tears and hairs in the sheets.

1) check-in process was bumpy. They weren't prepared to receive guests even though they called the same morning to ask about my check-in time. 2) Out of 2 sconce lights, 1 was out in the bathroom and its shade was burned so I didn't think simply asking for a new bulb was the answer. That made getting ready hard in a semi-dark bathroom. 3) On their website they emphasize that they are not only about the "Bed" but also about the "Breakfast". They don't mention anywhere on their website the times they serve breakfast so I assumed they were flexible. At check-in I was told that breakfast is served at 8:30 and 9:30. I had to be out the door at 7:30 so these times didn't work for me. Initially, I was told they will check to see if anything could be done about it. Once the innkeeper returned, he called me to confirm I couldn't make the breakfast times, didn't offer any alternatives and encouraged me to make coffee using the self-serve machines on my way out. Had I seen their set breakfast times anywhere on their website, I wouldn't have stayed there.

A must if if in the area or to visit on its own! I have never felt more comfortable and more at ease than with the Innkeeper, Joe, whose kind and thoughtful professionalism sets a standard others should follow. A beautiful, peaceful, and kind inn is always worth a visit! Thanks Joe!

My husband and I’s mini-honeymoon stay at the Wayside Inn was great! The room we had was clean, spacious, charming, and cozy all at once. Mr. Joe the innkeeper was very friendly and was always there when we needed him for anything. He also cooks a mean breakfast and has a great knowledge of the unique history of the property. Overall, it was a great place to get away from the bustle and noise of the city and just relax! Hopefully we will get to come back soon 😊

I really enjoyed my night here! The room had so much charm, and the jetted tub and waterfall shower were lovely! The bed was very comfy and we slept very well! Breakfast was prompt and delicious! Joe was very accomodating! I would absolutely love to stay again, especially in the winter months when we could use the fireplace as well! Thanks for a lovely stay!
