    We needed a place to stay and were referred to the Hurst House by another innkeeper who could not give us a room. The innkeeper said it was such a beautiful place, so we expected it to be nice. But when we got there, we thought we had made a wrong turn and were going to be chased off the property. It was such magnificent a home and setting that it far exceeded our expectations. The room was lovely and spotless with a beautiful view of surrounding hills, farmland and an adorable pond with a footbridge and swans! Bert and Rich received us warmly and saw to our every need. They were so patient and kind and friendly that we felt immediately at home. And on top of all this, the rooms were very moderately priced. You could not ask for more in a B&B, or for better hosts. We highly recommend this unexpected jewel. Thank you Bert and Rich.

    Our first experience with a B&B far exceeded our expectations. A beautiful home with immaculate rooms and excellent views. We can't say enough about the home cooked meals, but what stands out the most is the hospitality that is extended to each guest. You will be warmly welcomed by Bert and Rich as guests and depart as friends. It is our hope to return again someday. The Edelbroich's

    My wife and I have stayed at the Hurst House B & B on several occassions. This is by far the best B & B we have stayed at. The view from your personal balcony is breathtaking. Burt and Rich are the ultimate hosts. Rooms are all beautiful and tastefully decorated. Breakfast is always different and exceptional. You can sit on the wrap around porch and just relax in a rocking chair and do as little as you want. We have every intention of going back as much as we can. What they say is quite true. "Come as guests and leave as friends". We have made wonderful friends and look forward to our next trip back. Herb & Diane Lynch
