Breakfast, “homemade”, was included but unfortunately my mom and I had to be at my son’s wedding venue before 9:00 which is when breakfast was served! Property was definitely “pet friendly” as we ran into our “friendly doggy neighbors” which was an added bonus!! Property Owner “Jim” was very nice & helpful and made us feel at home!! We will definitely be going back!!

Jim and his wife were very warm and hospitable. The room was beautiful and seasonly decorated. We had an amazing view from our room. As someone who is vegan, they were very accommodating to my diet with breakfast and also wished my husband a Happy Birthday.

Cute little B&B in the woods near where we were running a race and needed a place to stay for one night. The owner was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and neat, all amenities we needed were provided. Wish we could have had breakfast with them in the morning, but our race started before breakfast time!
