    We spent the night at the Chestnut Inn on recommendations. It is well worth it. Jeff & Monika are the most wonderful hosts. From the time we checked in to the time we left we were treated as wonderful friends. The rooms are very comfortable. The bedsheets are amazing. Monika is a fantastic chef. If you want outstanding food & service I highly recommend the Chestant Inn. Linda & Fred

    We stayed in the Rosewood Suite and it was lovely. There is a working fireplace, a private dining area, private bath and a very comfortable king size bed. We would definitely stay in this room again. We had dinner in the dining room with other guests and it was fine dining at its best. We had breakfast in our private dining room and it was also wonderful. We would highly recommend this B&B for a night or weekend away.

    My wife and I stayed for three days as our annual getaway, and were excited b/c they were willing to offer gluten free dinners, which allowed us not to worry about bringing food w/us. The room was beautiful, and quiet, and the house was just gorgeous!! We had a great time talking w/ the innkeepers, and got the opportunity to relax and unplug!! Overall, a great opportunity to unwind, recharge and enjoy great food and company. I highly recommend Chestnut Street Inn.
