    Snug Hollow is a one-of-a-kind place. We feel so lucky to have found something so special in our own state! Barbara was incredibly friendly, the farm was peaceful and rejuvinating, and the dinner and breakfast company was an added bonus. We will definitely be back!

    Wendy and I stayed at Snug Hollow for 6 days. That was far too short and we were sorely sad to leave. The setting was beautiful and the people beyond wonderful. Barbara is a unique and beautiful person with magic skills in the kitchen. Nicky(hope that's spelled right) and Abigail were wonderfully warm and helpful people. We miss them all and look forward to many return visits. Want to experience the BEST? This is the place. George Evanson T or C NM

    This was one of three BNBs we visited as we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We stayed in the smaller house where Barbara had lived for 30yrs. She has a wonderful place and is a wonderful host. Her food was oustanding so we bought her cookbook!. Her potatoes are a must try!

    Best B&B we've stayed in! Stayed 2 nights in the Pearl for a weekend getaway with my hubby. Barbara and Hillary (her Jack Russell) provide lavish and spectacular hospitality. The home is the picture of charm! Snug Hollow is teeming with breath.taking scenery and wildlife. And come to the table hungry because Barbara puts on the tastiest spread with plenty for seconds. Great place to relax and recharge the soul! Thanks Barbara for sharing your beautiful home and spirit!
