Central House was lovely. The chocolate chip cookies and delicious apples were a treat. The proprietor was very kind and helpful. I expected it to be a Bed and Breakfast, however, and was surprised and disappointed that there was no breakfast!

Had a late check in, so Phil texted us where to park and had the room key set aside for us. He also helped us print out our park passes which was a relief!

The name is apt. You can comfortably walk to any of the restaurants or shops in the area. It is NOT a b&b but it doesn’t claim to be. The rooms are comfortable and the common areas are nice with coffee, tea and hot cocoa readily available. Parking is a premium asset and it was easily accessible. Loved the location and would recommend it to anyone.
