    My boyfriend and I spent a lovely weekend over labor day with Sue and Ray. We had a wonderful visit! We particularly enjoyed the fresh and bountiful breakfast every morning, swimming and kayaking in the lake, and the night time bonfire. Ray and Sue were extremely generous with their home, and we loved sitting and chatting with them. They really made our stay in the area special. Thanks!

    Innkeeper Response

    Simple, yet elegant and comfortable. Amazing view overlooking Crystal Lake. Good food and fantastic hosts! I recommend this to anyone who likes to get "off the beaten path". Absolute best value for dollar spent I've ever experienced at a B&B.

    we stayed at Sues and Rays place with our three children and were really pleased and thankful for the warm welcome, the time they shared, the delicious breakfast, helpful restaurant recommendations. We could use their canoes, they made a campfire for us to grill marshmellows, we listened to the owls, tasted their own tomatoes... The stay there was the highlight of all the B&Bs we know! Sehr persönlich, sehr herzlich, sehr empfehlenswert!

    We stayed at the Stanford's B and B with our 2 small children. This was our first stay ever in a B & B. Sue and Ray welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They made us a tasty blueberry pancake breakfast, encouraged us to go out on their canoe for a ride, and the kids loved the S'mores around the fire! Thanks again for a fun time and for making us and our kids feel so welcome. I would highly recommend this B and B to anyone without hesitation.

    My wife and I recently spent two very pleasant evenings (a Fri. and a Sat.) with the Stanfords. It was like visiting two old friends we hadn't seen in ten years. They made us feel right at home. We were given the run of the place and made totally comfortable. The breakfasts were just fantastic. We would definitely stay there again if in the area. The lake is so relaxing...cold, even in July, but the swimming was enjoyable. Enjoyed watching all the birds and other wildlife all around the property.
