Goldmoor Inn accommodations include a bed and breakfast, cottages and log cabins, and your dog is welcome in the inn's two log cabins. However, these are not rustic cabins. The Timberland cabin includes an artistically inlaid solid hickory bed frame holding a king-size bed with a cozy quilt. Two upholstered chairs and a footstool sit at the end of the bed. You can enjoy a quiet moment on the porch that overlooks the landscaped gardens. The Leafland's whitewashed carved bed frame and beige upholstered chairs give this cabin a light touch, though the amenities are the same for both. These include a two-person whirlpool, fireplace, wireless Internet, entertainment system with digital satellite, a kitchen area with microwave and refrigerator stocked with complimentary beverages and a bathroom with heated towel bars. While staying in the cabins, you can enjoy Goldmoor Inn's gourmet restaurant, spa treatments and views of the Mississippi.
