Lovely Weekend Stay!

This was our first time at a bed and breakfast. It was amazing! The home was beautiful, clean, and cozy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding! We really loved the old home and all the antiques. Awesome location convenient to everything but away from the busier areas! We will definitely be back!

Nice spot to stay at. This was part of a larger road trip. It was a nice change from the typical hotel/motel. The description on your website says that it’s in a National Park. It is not. If you have a problem with climbing steps you shouldn’t stay here or request ground floor. The stairway was narrow and steep and the steps are short. I didn’t have an issue but my companion did. Breakfast and decor were great!

This was in a very old house. Beautiful antiques inside. Very kind and hospitable post. She made a carrot cake that was absolutely amazing. We didn’t get to spend much time there as we were fishing early in the morning however, I would definitely recommend to stay. The beds are full-size but extremely comfortable.

I enjoyed my visit very much until I got a phone call asking if I had taken a bird house from the property. I was disgusted and very upset. I would never steal. I was driving when I got the call and could hardly hear what she was saying. It made my 5 hr drive very anxious. I called back when I got to my destination and had to leave a message requesting I get a call back. No one has ever called me back. So sad because I did enjoy the wonderful breakfast served every morning. The home is very interesting and filled with wonderful things to check out. I won’t go back.
