    My friend and I stayed at the Halsey House over the Columbus Day holiday and it was wonderful! Each evening after a day of hiking or wine trails, we spent relaxing by the firepit with good company next to the lovely waterfall on the side yard. The breakfasts served each morning were truly 5 star. They not only tasted amazing but the presentation was beautiful too. Making the destination even better was the innkeepers KC and Mitch's relaxed and fun personalities. Thanks to both for a lovely weekend. We will be back!

    What every inn should strive to be. KC and Mitch have crafted a wonderful Bed and Breakfast experience. The home is beautifully renovated with just the right balance of historic charm and modern amenities. Mitch and KC are gracious hosts, witty and accommodating without being overbearing or intrusive. Do not miss the Halsey House Pecan Muffins. They were the pinnacle of our delicious and expertly presented breakfasts. Of our fifteen or so B&B experiences, this was one of the best. Thank you guys so much for giving us such a wonderful memory for our vacation. John and Tammy Starr
