    My wife and I had a wonderful weekend. We were able to walk to shopping, stroll the beach, walk out to the lighthouse, and take a long needed nap. What a wonderfully relaxing time we had. The room was wonderful and so comfortable. We will be back!

    It is not often when you travel that you like a strange bed better than yours, but our bed was sooo comfortable! Very cozy and yet extremely private. Loved the beautiful grounds, sat on the deck and read a book, while listening to the birds sing and the fountain in the pond. Loved the whole experience.
