    My stay was great. Karen was a gracious hostess and an outstanding cook! The meals made the stay extra memorable. She was also very willing to share the recipes! The house is very nice...what one would expect from an older home...cozy and quaint.

    Beautiful B&B

    I will visit again. The room was charming and the sun room overlooking the garden/woods/stream was spectacular. I found Karen to be such a nice and down to earth person and we felt right at home. It's not as fancy as some, but it provided everything we needed and more. Karen makes absolutely delicious cookies!

    I've stayed at the Limestone several times now and it feels like I'm going to visit and stay with a friend. The setting, which backs up to a mountain ridge and state park, is beautiful and serene. Karen makes you feel at home and provides you with everything you need. The rooms have overhead fans, wonderful beds, their own small bathrooms and are tastefully decorated. And breakfast (my favorite meal of the day) is freshly made and over the top. You won't go hungry and she will do her best to accommodate any special needs. Little special touches everywhere you look, like candy by the bedside and bottomless homemade cookie plate in the kitchen.
