What You Need to Know
The Look of The Cliffside Inn
The Cliffside Inn draws you in with its cheerful canary yellow walls, brick red roof, and large wraparound front porch. The property also boasts plenty of outdoor common spaces, including a fire pit on the front lawn. Those looking for a more secluded outdoor space will want to book one of the four suites that come complete with a private outdoor area.
The 16 guest rooms and suites have recently been refurbished and feature an eclectic mix of jewel tones and fun patterns for a modern twist. While each room has its own unique flair, all of them offer fireplaces (to be used seasonally), whirlpool tubs, or spa showers (and, depending on the room, you may have all three!)
The Vibe at The Cliffside Inn
Most of the accommodations only sleep two or three guests, so you can expect to see mostly couples. The romantic vibe can be found throughout the property, including in the indoor common spaces like the parlor and library, where guests can enjoy wine and refreshments in the afternoon, as well as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
