My husband and I stayed at the inn on our wedding night. I was even allowed to dress and have some beautiful pictures taken at the inn, prior to the wedding. We have returned for a couple romantic get away weekends, including a murder mystery dinner. The rooms are exceptional, clean and breakfast is always quite delicious.

Jamie JaegleWhat a fantastic place! The rooms are all decorated so beautifully. They each have their own unique personality. Perhaps the cleanest room we've ever stayed. The owners said it was built 15 years ago but you would never know it was that long ago. Most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. Quiet relaxing. Just perfect. We were given a choice for breakfast, and it was prepared well with really fresh ingredients. Delicious. The owners and staff were wonderful. Helpful but not in your face like some inn owners. John we are missing your Aronia Berry jelly. We'll be back soon!

Kelly VoitikArriving on Friday for our 3 year anniversary weekend, we were not greeted with "Welcome, nice to meet you, nor Hello, Welcome to our B&B". We didn't receive a warm welcome at all. What we did receive was a "briefing" that the a/c-heat was turned totally off and to open the windows if we were hot, asked if we have any food allergies, told & pointed to where our room was located (not walked up and showed to our room) and lastly how did we want to pay? The owner was very cold and we felt like we were intruding in their home. Breakfast was good and but small for the $210 a night charge. The B&B was clean and comfortable but if you are looking to feel welcomed don't bother.

Michelle PSpent three quiet days here. Very romantic and comfortable. Beautiful decor. So clean. All adding to our comfort. Enjoyed hiking and coming back to our cozy room. We turned on the fireplace and soaked in the huge jacuzzi. Dinner and breakfast were marvelous. Love the honor bar as well.
