    It is difficult to believe, but my husband and I enjoyed ourselves even more this visit than the last. Bill and Betty are the best host and hostess one could ask/wish for! The intimate setting, the friendly welcome (which lasts throughout the stay) is amazing. One never wants to leave! We will be returning for our third visit in early summer. Can't wait!

    My husband and I stayed in the Sunshine Daydreams room and it was terrific. Beautifully decorated, comfortable and cozy. The breakfasts were outstanding. They serve so much food that lunch wasn't really necessary. The innkeepers were very helpful and friendly and made our stay very pleasant. We will definitely return for future getaways!!


    Wonderful hideaway to relax and enjoy ur self!
