    Don and Jeanne made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They had great suggestions for dining out. Breakfast was also quite amazing and especially nice considering we didn't have to go out in the cold just yet. The room we stayed in was a room on the lower level with a private bath. The bed was two twins pushed together and was very comfortable. The house was old but very clean and warm. Would definitely consider staying there again.

    Gilbert's B&B provided my group with a lovely, relaxing weekend away. We were greeted with warm, smiling faces and immediately felt right at home. Don showed us to our room, the Middle Room, upstairs and gave us a tour of the house. Don and Jeanne gave us several dinner suggestions in the area. The house was very clean and neat. Jeanne was accommodating to any food allergies and preferences for the breakfast meal and time. I rate our stay with Jeanne and Don very highly and look forward for another visit during the warmer months.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Gilbert's - a beautiful spot & a beautiful home! We are interested in architectural details and this house is chock full of them! Jeanne & Don are lovely folks who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We enjoyed sharing stories and hearing about the history of the farm. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. The only thing that seemed a bit strange was an envelope left there with the suggestion of a tip for the housekeeper. It would not seem unusual in a hotel, but it's the first time I've encountered this in a B&B. Next time we are in the area, we will plan to return to Gilbert's and do some catching up with Jeanne & Don.

    Our first visit to a B&B was fabulous. We enjoyed getting to know Jeanne and Don. They are kind and gracious hosts. The house and room were clean and comfortable, the home cooked food was delicious. It is a lovely hideaway in the woods, where one could find both tranquility and humor. Much laughter around the breakfast table. I would recommend it to anyone.
