    A wonderful weekend! We will be back!

    April 25, 2013

    I would say that we felt right at home except that at home we have to do things for ourselves. Gene Wyatt is the consummate professional - making us feel completely comfortable while anticipating and filling needs before we even knew we had them. Our room, indeed the entire house, was top notch. I saw in previous reviews that Gene's breakfasts have become legendary so I was anxious to see if they lived up to the hype. As it turned out, they exceeded expectations. Excellent! Thanks to Gene and Bob for a fun and relaxed weekend that we hope to repeat soon!

    Highly recommended!

    February 05, 2013

    The home is welcoming and very comfortable, with charming rooms and amenities. The breakfasts are outstanding. Gene makes everything himself, including his own biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs benedict, stuffed French toast with praline syrup. We visited in the winter and he'd canned or frozen fresh fruits from the summer. Even the apple butter is home made. Delectible!

    Best B&B place we have been to!

    January 16, 2013

    This place was outstanding! We had stayed at a lot of B&B before we stayed at Acorn and have stayed at few more other places after that stay and we have to say that nothing comes closer to Acorn. Gene and Bob were wonderful hosts. They catered to our dietary restrictions in a wonderful manner, the rooms were nicely themed and we loved the basement family area where we can watch movies together, play games, etc. I would recommend this place to everyone.
