The host/owner Michael is a wonderful host. Other reviewers have complimented the breakfast he prepares...they did not exaggerate. The breakfasts are healthy, delicious, innovative, fresh...outstanding. Our room, #8, is large, clean, has its own private entrance, and a great new shower. This B&B is located in downtown Madison in a walkable area. The house is a large, charming building constructed in 1833. Excellent accomodations.

Madison get away

This was a one night stay. The property is an older house in the city center. We were here to help a friend celebrate a birthday. The B&B was very close to the party making it easy to come and go. The room was small but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic.

CT Midcoast B&B

The place was lovely - just right for a weekend getaway. It was easy to get in at night and the room was a good size. Bed was super comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows! Breakfast was plentiful and owner is very friendly. Easy to walk into town to all shops and restaurants and close to the beach - great location. All in all - highly recommend.

Perfection 💕 I had such a great time. Michael was a great host. Traveling solo I felt very safe. If you are looking for a quiet and safe place to lay your head down, definitely do not pass this place up. Breakfast was luxurious. I will most definitely book this place again. I had a great time.

Bed comfy/Breakfast very good

This is an old house redone into a bed/breakfast. The bed was comfortable for a quick night stay, and the breakfast was very good that the host made himself. Was not wearing very clean attire when we met, but I feel that was just fine because he was a real down to earth person and very hospitable.
