"Beautiful Historic Inn!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
Benbow Historic Inn is very beautiful! The room was very nice and spacious, the restaurant and lounge were very good. We were celebrating a 40th birthday and all of us were up pretty late in the lounge area with the fireplace, games and a grand piano. There was a lot to see and the grounds were beautiful. I wish we stayed longer because I didn't get to see it all.
