    We were guests for a wedding anniversary party which was held at the Palmer House. We stayed four nights. Although the catering arranged by Gail was terrific we looked forward to her breakfast every morning! Jane and Bob

    We first made reservations because the B&B was very near the site of our grandson's wedding. After reading other reviews we were looking forward to our stay. Gail was on top of everything and the facilities are top notch. Can't think of a single thing that would have made our stay more enjoyable. Great breakfasts every day and no problem having an early breakfast on our day of departure to help make our flight schedule. We will visit again.

    My husband and I went for our anniversary. We wanted something different and love a country setting. That is exactly what we got and more. Gail and Bob Palmer were very gracious host and hostess, everything was clean and neat. The grounds were very beautiful, very relaxing swinging under the huge oak trees. We had a pleasant walk in the area, the cattle were a delight to watch. Everything was in good taste. We will be back, next time for a couple of days so we can take in the horseback riding in the area or maybe the canoeing

    Atmosphere is warm and inviting. A perfect getaway from a busy life in Orlando, FL. Everything exceeded our expectations. The entire weekend was fabulous. Food is delicious, parks and outdoor activities are close by, and the pool/jacuzzi are a great plus!

    The Palmer House is truly outstanding. It is everything its website declares it to be. You can tell that Gail and Bob take great pleasure in providing outstanding service. Breakfast was anything but ordinary. Gail, where did you learn to cook like this?! Both days we were served gourmet breakfasts. What she can do to a meal is unbelieveable. Another great feature of The Palmer House is its location. We're in the middle of the city urbanites; so hanging out for a couple of days in suh a quiet and serene sitting was beyond peaceful. There are long country roads, cows, and squirrels running here and there. We attended the ministry, Ellel, while we were there. If you ever go to one of their events, you should consider staying at The Palmer House. It's less than ten minutes away. Gail and Bob, we hope to see you again soon! Thank you for an absolutely wonderful and relaxing getaway. Eric & Sonya (Sonny)
