Lynne was the highlight of our stay. She went out of her way to make us comfortable and welcome. The house boasted of authenic history. The breakfasts were delicious. Rooms were very clean with fresh flowers. I especially enjoyed the walks in the morning with Lynne and Malcolm (the dog). Thanks, Diane and daughters Julie, Susan & Sara Cumming, GA

Stayed in the attached post & beam cottage for about a month with my 7 year old son and we both loved it. Comfortable, clean, and friendly. The cottage was a great experience overall -- that vacation cabin feel. Perfect for our extended stay while waiting for a home closing.
