My wife and I went to Hartwell to view lake property for the day. We stayed at The Skelton House on a lark. Service was great, Local info was outstanding, and the breakfast was Absolutely Delicious. John should devolt one page of his website to his breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay immensely at this beautifully renovated home. The owner was extremely welcoming and accommodating above and beyond our expectations. The home and the grounds are beautiful and peaceful. After an evening of rocking chairs on the upper patio and a great night's rest, we were treated to a truly amazing breakfast. We highly recommend this location to anyone passing through or staying in the area.

Joan and I arrived on Friday and spent two nights. The house is in excellent condition. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast John prepares is delicious. Everything worked as it should - no problems. If you are planning to stay anywhere around Hartwell, make a reservation with John - You will be glad you did. John manages the Inn with a delightful old cat named Pooh (as in Winnie the Pooh). I have already scheduled another stay next year - to visit John and Pooh and enjoy this beautiful old house.
