We were hesitant to try the Forest Queen because we thought it had a bar downstairs. But, the bar has been converted to a restaurant.

Honestly, if you're looking for a decent place to stay and a great experience to boot you can't beat The Forest Queen.

We gathered our luggage, walked upstairs (the... More
