    Time stood still for the weekend as we felt apart of another world. They have a special attraction with the "Wolf Sanctuary". It is really a unique place. Dawn, was a gracious host! All those who volunteer at the Sanctuary were very friendly and helpful. It is a place to return when the everyday world gets to be to much! Thank you :)

    Most amazing!

    I sent my parents to Speedwell Forge for a weekend get-away as a Christmas Present. My parents came home GUSHING about how wonderful everything was. They LOVED Dawn & her husband, they both said that they have never felt more comfortable or welcome anywhere. Dawn was a sweetheart who really treated my parents like life long friends instead of just someone renting a room. The food was outstanding as I heard from my mom. The room they stayed in, Katherine's Room made them want to stay in all day. Dawn has thought of everything when revamping this gorgeous property. The bathroom floor tiles are even heated! I must say, if you go, visit the Speedwell Forge Wolf Reserve. My parents took the Full Moon Tour and had so much fun! I will definitely be sending my parents away for more weekends here...and my fiance and I are planning on staying a few nights soon as well. I can't say enough great things about this B&B. It is simply the best. Ignore any review that tells you otherwise!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    My husband and I stayed in the Paymaster's Office at Speedwell Forge and it was every bit as beautiful as the pictures. It was spacious, yet cozy, very clean, and beautifully decorated. We opened the blinds on the back windows to a serene view of a stream with a deer walking quietly through. Breakfast was fantastic and the people who work there are so friendly. It couldn't have been a more perfect fit for us. We'll hopefully be back!

    Unbelievable

    Speedwell Forge BnB is an amazing place. The property is gorgeous, rooms are well appointed and clean, and the proprietors are incredibly warm, kind people. Coupled with the wolf sanctuary on the property, it is an altogether magical experience.
