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.
