    We were greeted by the owners as we drove up to a beautiful home and grounds. Upon entering the house we were transported to a friendly, country store, with so much to see. Friendly hosts, elegant rooms & good food!

    This is a beautiful facility in a great location and run by an outstanding host couple. A first class operation. Our room, the Big Sweet, was clean, quiet, and very relaxing. Wish we could have spent more time there.

    Char and Brian have built a beautiful place to retreat from the rush and hurry of life. Attention to detail from charming furnishings to whether you prefer coffee or tea -- not to mention delicious breakfast -- all made it a perfect stay.

    We found this B&B on line, so knew what the rooms offered. However, we just sank into luxury. Sharlene and Brian were so welcoming. It felt like going to "Mom and Dad's" when you are part of a great giving family! The breakfasts (we were treated two days) were w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l, and served in style. They offered great advice for places in the area and made dinner reservations at a great floating restaurant. We would definitely go back - and I bet they remember every one who visited previously. Thanks to you both!
