The Normaway Inn

The Normaway Inn

8/10 Good
"Beautifully rustic and cozy. Cabins were very comfortable. Nice bathroom and shower. Our cabin included a lovely porch swing. There was a shared fire pit surrounded by welcoming Adirondack chairs in front of our place. Breakfast was not available. Fridge and coffee machine in cabin. Horses and cows in the pasture. The evening entertainment included fiddlers and square dancing for all to enjoy. Would definitely stay here again."
