There are 2 Jack-and-Jill baths, one with a standing shower and one with a tub-shower combo. Towels (including make up removal towels) and bed linens provided.

When the Merry Inn was renovated, the owner & contractor saved then lovingly repurposed the original beams. The GC milled them and created the stunning loft railings, too.
Rainy days call for Pac-Man tourneys and bean bag lounging up in the loft.
View from one of the lofts.
What a view! But if you HAVE to, the 55" smart TV lets you watch the game comfortably, too. 4 ottomans for extra seating. Pool towels and games are in the under-TV storage cabinets.
The sliding doors lead out to the covered brick porch, which lead out to the generous pool area.
There are 3 nooks in the pool for plenty of seating in the water, too. Add some shade via umbrellas on the really hot days.
Your choice of water! Option A and Option B are both amazing. :-)
Pool ladder for easier entry.
Enjoy the pool or the spa. One or both can be heated for an additional fee.
Relax with friends or family, or heat up some competition with a cornhole tournament!
