Accommodation Information

All Rooms are themed after a style of music: Old time window panes were selected to portray the music greats of that music style in the rooms. Each room has a special cassette tape so you can hear who is portrayed on the walls and a book on that style of music.

Real musical instruments from Guitars, Fiddles (Violins), Saxophone, Trombone, Trumpet, Drums , Clarinet, Washboards etc. line the walls of these very interesting rooms.
