What a beautiful historic hotel. Literally like walking back in time. Our room was on the corner with two large windows. We had views of the pool and the sprawling wooded area behind the hotel. Just beautiful! The pool was a little noisy, but they had reasonable hours, so sleeping wasn't' an issue. We ate at the bar on the second level and it was really good. Staff was very courteous. We also indulged in the Ghost Tour, which was a lot of fun. Many intriguing ghost stories! I would highly recommend staying at The Elms! A relaxing stroll back in time..
A relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings.

My two friends and I had a wonderful relaxing getaway at the Elms. The room was perfect for three ladies and was very comfortable. The Hotel was beautiful and a historical treasure. The grounds were so well kept and inviting to stroll through. We enjoyed several of the activities the pools, Spa, paranormal tour and exercise room.
We stayed one night for our anniversary. All of the staff were absolutely amazing, including our bartender at the hotel restaurant. Absolutely beautiful hotel and property to explore though!
We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday by booking two nights and a couple of spa treatments at The Elms. We had a really nice stay. The staff was amazing. PSue in the Three Owls is a gem. She's so kind and full of personality. Jay was super during the ghost tour. He had great stories and the history was interesting, as well. One of his stories was about the room we stayed in (347). Kinda spooky. The spa treatments were incredible. Soooo relaxing. We will absolutely recommend this place to our family and friends. My wife is already planning a visit with her cousins for their yearly cousins' weekend. Thanks so much for a wonderfully memorable experience.
