    We stayed for our 20th anniversary. The room, the atmosphere, and the hospitality were above reproach. We were so relaxed from our night's stay and had a wonderful breakfast and conversation with Barbara! Anyone who thinks less of this place must feel less about themselves. This was a delightful experience! Thank you, Barbara! We consider you a friend!

    Hope you are hungry.

    The B&B itself is quaint, well maintained, and tastefully decorated, with a self-serving slant. We stayed for our anniversary and were asked if we brought candles. When my wife replied yes, Barbara pointed to a printed admonishment that included a fine. When we commented that the property is well maintained and asked about who does all the upkeep, Barbara stopped and looked around her then sarcastically replied, there's no one here but me! She then expressed her opinion about her ex-husband. The property itself was very nice. Barbara continued her hospitality the next morning with "I hope you are hungry!" then provided a meal that wouldn't fill a 5 year old. The food was served with a full explaination that she grows all the fruits and such. Not going back there any time soon. We still laugh at her behavior.

    Awesome!

    We were very impressed with our room (Linwood Suite). We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the seclusion. The grounds were beautiful. The gourmet breakfast was excellent. Barbara was an excellent hostess. We highly recommend this B&B to our family and friends.

    This was our 30th wedding anniversery and we wanted a quiet private place to celebrate. We got that and MORE. Barbara was a delight , the room was beautiful(Linwood Suite),the grounds gorgeuos,and the breakfast was made from scratch and tasted wonderful. This far exceeded my expectations. We plan on going back and would urge anyone out there to give Barbara and her Chestnut Charm B&B a try. You won't be disappointed.
