    Another great getaway

    April 01, 2013

    A friend and I stayed in the Cannon Cottage for 3 nights. Monday, March 25th and it was lovely. The bed was so comfortable, the whirlpool so relaxing and the breakfast was so very good. The innkeepers made you feel as if you were family and were so helpful with suggestions on what to do, etc. The high point was Quincy, the family's pet fetching the morning newspaper. This is my 3rd trip to this B&B and already planning to visit again in June or July.

    Wonderful Getaway

    March 31, 2013

    A beautiful home with wonderful, helpful hosts. The house was warmly decorated, clean, and welcoming. The sheets, towels, and rainforest shower were amazing. Pam's breakfasts were delicious and satisfying. The location provided easy access to a winery, candy factory, and several impressive antique shops, as well as other historical homes to visit. We definitely plan to visit again!

    March 25, 2013

    We stayed at the B.F Hiestand House B & B this past weekend - in the Vanderslice Suite. The house was totally charming. Beautifully appointed and decorated as if walking back into the era. Pam, Dallas and Quincy were excellent hosts. We most definitely will stop by for a stay again in the future.

    wonderful stay!

    July 03, 2012

    My boyfriend and I stayed here recently when he surprised me with a weekend away from the city. We loved everything about this place, it's very clean and charming, the innkeepers were super helpful and friendly, and their dog Quincy was adorable. They even reserved a dinner for us with a local Amish family, which was almost as delicious as the breakfast we enjoyed here in the morning. We will definitely be back soon!
