    Bob and Anna do such a wonderful job of making you feel like you are at home and part of the family. The place was immaculate and the breakfasts were to die for. Anna's homemade scones and pastries along with her award winning french toast were the perfect meals. The rooms and grounds are so well kept. Bob and Anna offer great conversation and know the area well to offer recommendations of places to visit and eat. We plan on staying there again in the future - "The Loft" is our favorite room.


    Best B & B ever!!

    Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving night, 2011, my wife and I spent our second stay at Oakridge Manor. I can't imagine how any B&B could be more perfect. Bob and Anna are very gracious hosts. Besides all the amenities you would expect from a first-class B&B, Oakridge Manor is in a beautiful rural setting. My wife and I enjoyed walks up and down the 0.3-mile driveway. We also walked around the pond and watched deer running in the adjacent woods. Oakridge Manor is a great place to relax and escape the noise, hustle, and bustle of everyday city life.

    Innkeeper Response
    Dear D and N, It was great having you with us again. We look forward to your next trip our way. Thanks for the nice words.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the Oakridge Manor Bed and Breakfast this past weekend. The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, and the hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. They also offered GREAT suggestions on what to see/do/eat. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and am looking forward to going back!

    Innkeeper Response
    We are so glad you had a good time and enjoyed your stay. Wish the weather had been a little warmer!
