    Had a wonderful weekend stay at the 1774 Inn recently and was very impressed. Stayed in the Woodshed Room, very spacious with its own couch and private porch looking out onto the nearby river. Enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and very welcoming innkeepers who remembered all of our names, even though a large group of us was staying in the inn that weekend. Would love to stay there again!

    The 1774 Inn is stunningly beautiful in every respect

    The 1774 Inn and its location took my breath away - and my husband's. The grandeur of the house, both inside and out, was such a pleasure. Guests are not confined - they are allowed to experience the history and the luxury because they have full access to beautifully decorated rooms beyond their own bedroom. It was like going back in time in terms of the architecture and I could not stop wandering through the rooms to get a real feel for the place. We actually felt privileged staying there. We could see the lake from our room, which had its own private terrace to the immaculate lawns. The view had an amazingly calming effect on us but we have much too many photos of exactly the same spot! Sitting outside on the lawn, facing the lake, the air was literally perfumed with smells of honey and foliage and the sounds of the birds and the crickets added to the serene perfection of it all. The breakfasts were divine and unfortunately I became addicted to the fabulous vanilla granola with fresh fruit and yoghurt! And that was only the start of the breakfast! The hosts, John and Jackie, whose sense of style created this wonderful space, could not have been more hospitable or generous. We went to lots of the places they recommended and were never disappointed. My husband is planning our return visit already but we live in London, United Kingdom, so we won't be able to visit as often as we would like. On behalf of myself and my husband, we have marked all the levels as outstanding, because that is what they truly were. We were not able to do that for the fancy New York hotel we stayed in afterwards, en route back to the UK, that's for sure. Don't miss this amazing place on your travels. You will not regret a visit - but plan for a week if you really want to explore the area and experience the magnificence of the Inn. That is what we did, but we felt we could have stayed even longer!

    John and Jackie were wonderful hosts during our stay at their inn. We were in a big group there for a wedding. They made every effort to help us with directions and suggestions for activities. They even learned everyone's name! The breakfast were absolutely amazing!

    1774 House Bed & Breakfast an absolute favorite!

    I cannot recommend this B&B enough. The hospitality, rooms, views and breakfasts are the absolute best. We have been there three times and look forward to our future visits!
