Great little spot in the area! Historical charm, welcoming vibe and community. You'll pretty much have everything you need at a hotel, just packaged in a cutesy, cottagey format. Lots of cool art and things to see.

The house is charming and very clean and tidy. The only drawback is the road noise if you are staying at the front of the house (which we were). The parking was easy, the breakfast choices were great and the room itself quite cozy. Sweet place to stay.

Very interesting concept for a B&B, there is no contact with the owner yet everything is extremely well communicated and provided for your use and comfort. The owner does live on site and just a text away. It was quaint, clean, comfortable and quiet all you need for a little get away.
