Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.

We had a very nice weekend staying at this historic home . We slept like babies in a very comfortable bed and enjoyed breakfast made to order. The owner asked what we would like to eat and served what we requested, even though the other couple staying there this weekend had requested other items. Now THAT is special service!

I loved the B&B. The owners were exceptionally pleasant. What was upsetting was the fact that Expedia confirmed my reservation with me, but not with the B&B. Thankfully, they made room for us. This is the last time I will trust Expedia to confirm with the hotel. From now on, I will confirm myself. It was extremely upsetting all around.

We had a wonderful stay at the Governor's Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts were very welcoming and easy to communicate with (with check-in/check-out instructions, telling us about the area, and more). The house and our room were very charming and clean when we arrived. We had a great weekend here and would recommend for anyone looking to come to the area!
