    Really appreciated how the hostess was more than willing to accommodate our two family's. There was 10 of us total & were able to stay in only 2 rooms. We had the whole 2nd floor to our selves. Our stay was very comfortable & breakfast (French Toast ) was very Delicious!

    This was my first time using a B&B and the owner was so nice and the breakfast was very good. The other homes surrounding this house were also very interesting. Enjoyed the stay.

    As we walked through the front door for the first time we left the 21st century and began to experience life in the late 1800's. Our room, the Queen Anne suite was impressive with bright open space, marble fireplace and a spacious bathroom. The four poster bed was extremely comfortable with very smooth sheets and a hand quilted bed covering. Our breakfast experience included daily fresh cut fruit, warm muffins, and wonderful main courses of french toast, pancakes, sausage and eggbake served on fine china. We always felt at home with a wonderful sense of being cared for as though we were visiting family. We are so thankful for our visit to Burr House as it rates as one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed at.
