    Anniversary Visit

    May 08, 2013

    Jaynee and Guy are great! They’re attention to detail is unsurpassed and it shows, their Inn is spotless! Wonderful, filling, and very tastey breakfasts. They also helped with all our reservations and even prepared a basket of snacks for our wine tour which we really needed and appreciated! Great place to stay and we'll return on our next visit to the area. Although the mattress in the Gifford room was firmer than our old bones prefer, the room’s furnishings and finishing touches really made for an excellent stay. Thanks Guy and Jaynee for ensuring we had a wonderful Anniversary.

    Perfect in every way!

    April 07, 2013

    My husband and I spent 2 nights at this lovely home, and loved every minute. Our room was cozy, and everything was immaculate. The breakfasts were delicious, as well as plentiful! Snacks and beverages were available during the day and evening; even popcorn for the microwave! We would highly recommend this wonderful B & B!

    We had never stayed at a B&B, but this house and hosts are everything all the reviews said. Clean, quiet, comfortable and probably hard to surpass.
