Opened in 1920s
Originally called The Thomas Hotel, the current owner, Glenn Bettencourt, bought the hotel and changed the name to The Whitetail Inn and Suites in 2011. Oscar Thomas opened the hotel around 1920 and it was operated by the family of the original owner until its sale to Glenn in 2011. Guests of The Whitetail Inn and Suites get to experience staying at a beautiful historical site while enjoying modern amenities such as flat screen televisions and free wifi.
Traditional values of a family owned, small-town business
Many changes have occurred over time, especially in the past ten years. The rooms have been updated, and the hotel expanded to include two more buildings and additional rooms to what was the original hotel, while still holding true to the traditional values of a family owned, small-town business. Throughout the last one hundred years, the property has offered guests comfortable lodging with great service, and it continues to do so today.
