My wife and I visited the Murphy Guest House in October 2011. This was our first B&B and we had a wonderful time. We now wonder how we can go to any other B&B when we started with the best. Ann Andre is a great host and treated all of us like family.
Simply Outstanding!

I was recently a guest at the Murphy Guest House, and could not have been pleased with my experience. It was my second stay there and highly recommend it. Ann Andre is an excellent host. The rooms were clean, well-appointed and charming; the breakfasts were beautifully presented and delicious; and Ann is delightful and warm. Murphy Guest House is also an excellent value.
Exceeding expectations, again and again

I spent two weekends during October 2011 at the Murphy Guest House. I am a repeat customer of Innkeeper Ann Andre. She treated me, my family and friends most hospitably. I have already made reservations for two weekends in 2012. I look forward to having my expectations exceeded again.
