I would only go there for the features and the service...otherwise the place looks ridiculous....7 things about Grey Moss Inn you didn't know!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. "It's more about the sizzle than the steak." Menus are rigged. "We list the item that makes the most profit first so it catches your eye," says consultant Linda Lipsky, "and bury the highest-cost item in...

Private hideaway

This has been the most romantic place to take ever since Mary Howell opened it. In th winter the open fireplace, the candles on the table, even the sloped wooden floors add to the ambience.
