    We thoroughly enjoyed our hosts. Donna generously took the time to share the history of this amazing home with us! Her loving restorations are much of what makes this a special place!

    a wonderful place

    July 18, 2012

    Me and my wife spent two nights here. It was terrific! We stayed in the Rose room. It was very nice, as was the whole house. Well kept, quiet and very comfortable. The breakfast that was served in the mornings was great and well prepared. We loved our stay here and if were ever in the area again we probably will stay here again.

    Not a Eureka Moment

    May 31, 2012

    the place had a museum like quality to it. Well preserved, but not alive. perhaps it was becasue we were the only guests there or perhaps it was becasue Euraka was less than overwhelming.

    Inviting home/Uninviting Innkeepers

    November 28, 2011

    What a disappointment that such a beautiful home had every little detail thought of except the most important thing -- the demeanor of the innkeepers. The reserve on our arrival was disappointing; but the overt coldness the next morning (particularly by the wife/breakfast chef) was something my husband and I had never encountered in a B&B. So, all in all, I would caution inn seekers to consider why they select one B&B over another. Yes, for us, the ambiance is always critical; but the nature of the inn keepers will make or break the experience. In this case, the experience was not just broken -- it was shattered -- by the unwelcoming attitude on the part of the owners, which during breakfast, extended to everyone at the otherwise elegant dining room table. So, would we recommend this B&B? Unequivocally not. What a shame.
