    Great summer getaway!

    August 15, 2012

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the Standford's at Stanford Bed and Breakfast. Sue and Ray are wonderful hosts. Everything was super clean and comfortable and the quietness we awoke to was so relaxing and peaceful. Overlooking the lake and the nice summer weather was amazing. We used the rowboat and fished as well as swam in the lake right off their dock. It was a beautiful spot and the breakfasts were delicious!!! We even got a recipe for one of the breakfast dishes. We really enjoyed the bed and breakfast experience and Sue and Ray recommended wonderful dining opportunities for lunch and dinner as well as places to visit during the day. We went to Quiche Gorge as well as the Antique Mall. We went in to local quaint towns for dinner and really enjoyed the small town feel of all adventures. We thank Sue and Ray for a wonderful mini-vacation and we definitely recommend staying here!

    Thanks for the review. We really appreciate it. We enjoyed meeting you. We'll have to try some rubber worms the next time we go fishing. Thanks again, Sue and Ray

    Amazing B&B

    June 18, 2012

    This was our very first B & B. we stayed four nights while visiting from NJ. To attend our grandaughters high school graduation. We had a amazing time. Sue and Ray are wonderful people. They treated us like family. My husband and I felt very comfortable there. The cozy log cabin and views were breath taken. Even though we were very busy visiting with our family, when we got back to the B & B Sue and Ray were always there to greet us.. They even had directions waiting for us to our familys house. They are good people. The Breakfast were awesome. We had homemade blueberry muffins, fresh fruit bowls, individual quiche dishes, hamsteaks, rhubar danish, bacon, homefried potatos, eggs, coffe, tea, and juice etc. The setup for breakfast was elegant, they sat us in front of the french doors with a spectacular view of the water and mountains. We watched the doe and fawn walking in the yard. The only regret we have is, that we were unable to spend more time at the cabin, an were unble to do everything they have to offer. Hope to go back sometime soon. We would HIGHLY recommend this Bed & Breakfast. Deb & Ray

    Delightful!

    June 13, 2012

    We stayed for 3 nights while visiting from Alaska to attend our son's graduation from nearby Dartmouth College. It was a busy week, and we really enjoyed coming "home" in the evenings to this lovely, comfortable, peaceful spot. The abundant and delicious breakfasts kept us going through a couple of days with no time for lunch, and were accompanied by hummingbirds at the feeder and a doe with her fawn in the front yard! Sue and Ray are warm and welcoming hosts, and made us feel very much at home. Highly recommended!

    Memorial Day weekend stay in Enfield

    May 31, 2012

    My girlfriend and I came down to Enfield from Ottawa ON for a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. From the moment we arrived at this enchanting house, we felt calm and serene. Sue and Ray welcomed us as if we were old friends. The innkeepers were very knowledgeable about Enfield and the surrounding area. The breakfasts were delicious! Breakfast was not served at a set time, instead, Sue and Ray checked with us the night before to see what time was best for us. Sue made refreshing fruit salads both mornings! Being a diabetic, I am always weary of B&B owners making breakfasts that are high in fat and/or sugar, but the food here was light, filling and made me feel truly cared for. We had a great time over our short stay and would not hesitate to go back. The views are breathtaking, the rooms are spacious, the food is great, and most importantly, Sue and Ray are wonderful hosts! Thanks again! We hope to see you again in the future. I would go back just for Sue's garden-fresh rhubarb coffee cake! Valerie & Jenny

    Labor Day Trip

    September 15, 2011

    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
    Thank you so much! We enjoyed meeting you. Have a good year at school and work. The wood pile is almost done! Sue and Ray

    Wonderful time in Enfield!

    May 10, 2011

    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.

    feel like at home

    September 17, 2010

    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!
