    We were made to feel like special guests in a lovely, well cared for Victorian Home. The rooms, sevice and expecially the food were outstanding. The Innkeeper even helped us get "unlost" on our way to a wedding, staying with us by phone all the way.

    I have stayed at this Inn many times with my husband and my girlfriends. A friend picked it at random over 10 years ago and it was a great choice. Extremely clean and lovingly decorated by the Innkeeper, Susie, with her exquisite collections. Breakfast is always outstanding and the company of Susie and her neice Wanda is like going home a visit.
