    You couldn't ask for more. Breakfast was outstanding. An easy walk to downtown...(on-line search maps are deceiving). King size beds in at least two rooms. Nice open living room with snacks all day. Owner offered interesting and helpful local sightseeing, restaurant & historical information.

    Nice bed and breakfast. We could walk to town and other sites. The innkeeper was very helpful with informing us on places to visit, things to do and even directions on how to get home! She was very knowledgable about the history of town as well. Breakfasts were very good. Usually fruit or pastry followed by a main dish...very good! Pear stuffed waffle was my favorite!


    Great B&B!

    The Parsonage is a great B & B. The lobby was simple and not a traditional B & B looby - but once you proceed to the second and third floors, a wonderful sitting area and dining room awaits. Very Charming ! The food was great - rooms comfy, host was lovely and accomadating. We would definately return.


    Great time!

    Enjoyed our stay during the St. Patty's Day Parade. Maureen was very nice and helpful in finding some wonderful dining experiences for us. The little luncheon Maureen had during the parade, just made us feel at home, and wanting to go back. It was a fun experience even with the rain.
