I booked the Palmer Inn for my wedding reception. I absolutely loved it. The estate is beautiful and the house was a 10/10. My husband and I stayed with some friends and we had no complaints. I’d definitely recommend the Palmer Inn to anyone looking to do a long-term stay or event. The owners are lovely to work with and the estate itself was great.
