"We chose the Aurora Inn for a very special family weekend event. We couldn’t have been treated more like family by the staff while we were there. It felt like a home away from home. EVERYONE was wonderful, helpful, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The inn itself is beautiful, comfortable, and elegant. You absolutely MUST stay here. I’m ready to move in."

"We had such an amazing experience at Aurora Inn! First of all we made our reservation through Sarah Rings who exhibited peak professionalism! Then we'd never been to the town before but it's so cute to drive through & the Inn fits the vibe & feeling of the town. The character of the outside to walking in the front door & the ambiance of the lobby then the upstairs sitting area with the fireplace... so cozy! We were greeted warmly..."
