    I enjoyed my stay so much. The B&B was just beautiful. Lois is a wonderful lady, great cook and a BIG help with us novice quilters. The surroundings are like being in Heaven. It is so quiet, so peaceful. The lake is just beautiful. And Miss Katie, the "princess" cat is so friendly. I really had a wonderful stay. I'm ready to go back. Linda Gallond
