    Gingerbread House Inn

    October 14, 2012

    We have been to many bed and breakfast inns but this one was outstanding. From the moment we met the owner Joan we immediately felt welcome. She was very helpful in letting us know what was happening that weekend and which restaurants were really good. She actually sent us a list of restaurants ahead of our visit for our consideration. Luckily we made reservations before arriving so we were Able to get the restaurant and seating we wanted. The breakfast was lovely and Joan introduced everyone to avoid that first awkward moment. We left there feeling as though we had spent the weekend with friends. I would highly recommend this inn.

    Like One of my Dreams--

    October 04, 2012

    Sometimes in the cold and dark of winter, I have a dream that I've been transported to a warm place with appealing architecture, lots of side streets, warm breezes, flower fragrances, the leisurely clop clop of horses pulling tourist carriages every evening . . . the dream comes true when we visit Gingerbread House in early September. The decor is most appealing, breakfasts divine, afternoon cookies fabulous--a short walk to the beach or to shops means we rarely need to drive anywhere. Visiting with Joan and Fred is a delight--they have many stories and a good sense of humor. May our annual visits continue for many years! --
