We discovered this magical retreat online, and have been returning for years. It's away from the hustle-bustle of town, but within easy driving distance. This is a beautifully decorated B&B, with an amazing meditation room that features a high-beamed ceiling and a wall of windows. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, and when you open the window, you can hear the sound of the bubbling creek... it's so peaceful! The woods around the premises are delightful too. Besides that, Brian makes a delicious breakfast, and he'll accommodate your dietary preferences. The warmth and friendliness of the people, as well as the comfortable rooms and unique setting make this an unforgettable spot. I'd HIGHLY recommend it!

My husband and I stayed in the cabin at whispering waters and were delighted with the accommodations. The facilities were beautiful and the property was inspiring. We are anxious to return and share the experience with friends.

We stayed here during the Cherry Festival. The property is beautiful ! We stayed in the Spring House Suite. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Our inn keeper Brian was a great host and cook ! The property is only 7 mi outside the downtown area. It was very quiet, peaceful and private. We look forward to our next stay. We wish we could've stayed longer.
