    1-11-13/1-13-13 getaway

    February 05, 2013

    Our first time staying at this bed and breakfast, all we can say is we are hooked. Jessica and Bruce could not have treated us any better. We had an amazing weekend and can not wait to do it again. Their place is comfortable, clean, friendly and lets not forget Jessicas breakfast.... Highly recomend, and we will be back for sure.

    For our first B&B stay... we were very pleased with our experience at The Cabernet Inn! It was quiet and a great location to the town and down the road from Mt. Washington. The breakfast is to DIE for... French Toast was divine! We hope to return to the Cabernet Inn again!

    Home away from home Thanksgiving

    November 26, 2011

    We wanted to do something different this year for the Thanksgiving holiday and found the Cabernet Inn on the internet. I was intrigued by the pictures of the Inn and reviews that I read. In a word, our holiday was "perfect". Bruce and Jessica welcomed us into their inn/home upon arrival and 3 days later, I was very sad to leave but am looking forward to our next stay. Both are warm, gracious, unassuming hosts who do everything they can to ensure you enjoy your visit. Our room, as well as the entire inn, is extremely clean and comfortable. Our breakfasts each morning as well as our Thanksgiving dinner were delicious. Jessica is an outstanding chef and her maple walnut french toast is a "must have". We normally stay at hotels but the Cabernet will become an annual visit for us.

    Wow what a great place to stay

    September 27, 2011

    We stayed for three nights and we still didnt want to leave. I cant say enough about how relaxed and comfortable Jessica and Bruce make you feel. It was was a peaceful stay. This has set the new bar for our standards for B&B's.

    Mt Washington Get Away

    August 19, 2011

    My boyfriend and I climbed Mount Washington and then went to the Cabernet Inn after to stay. We have never stayed at a "bed and breakfast", only at hotels. Our experience at the Cabernet Inn changed my mind as from now on, we will look for inns first. Bruce and Jessica were great hosts, left you alone unless you needed something, and prepared a delcious breakfast the next morning. Needless to say, it was heaven after climbing Mt Washington!

    Great value, perfect location, wonderful and filling breakfasts, and wonderful personalized service from the innkeepers, Jessica and Bruce Zarenko.

    February 20, 2011

    We stayed 5 nights and were upgraded to a room with a gas fireplace at no additional charge. We had a cozy, comfortable room for our cross-country skiing vacation, and we slept soundly. We feel the innkeepers masterfully combined just the right amount of personal service and privacy. They made dinner reservations for us, patiently described how to navigate local ski resorts, offered the use of the inn laptop, have tons of DVD movies to watch, and even shared some fantastic hand made truffles destined for a wine/chocolate event. We would definitely stay with Jessica and Bruce Zarenko (innkeepers) again.
