The Jackson House Inn

It was the most unwelcoming and rude reception that I have ever experienced. We arrived at 3.15 versus the 4pm check in time that is highlighted on the entry door as you approach the facilities. The inn was empty, no one around and we did not have cell reception. We used the office phone to call the number noted at the reception desk to use. A sleepy voice answered our call, and upon giving the name , we were told that “... even if we have your reservations you are too early”. We were apologetic and taken aback by this comment, but the inn keeper did reluctantly say that they will come down in a few minutes. Once they came down we came to realize that there was a mix up in the reservations, and that though our booking showed active it in fact had been canceled mistakenly. One inn keeper mentioned that a couple had checked out early, but when we suggested that we might have their room, we were told that it had not been cleaned and that they would have to check on that, and that they would call to let us know either way. At this point we were relieved that our reservations had been mixed up and drove into town. We luckily found a room at the Woodstock Inn. For an up charge of 40$ we had a wonderfully welcoming staff, beautiful facilities in the heart of charming Woodstock. Highly recommended. Needless to say, we never received the call either way...
