    My husband and I stayed two nights in the Master Suite for our wedding anniversary. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. Our breakfasts were crazy delicious. Margie and Bubba were delightful hosts. We'll be back!

    What a beautiful home! The downstairs is all original wood and fieldstone from 1920 and absolutely gorgeous. The upstairs has been refinished. Bathrooms are all modern. Wonderful complementary amenities including motorboats, kayaks, canoes, paddleboat, games, as well as complementary water and sodas. Food was scrumptious and more than we could eat. The setting could not possible be improved on - right on the lake's edge with a deck to enjoy the view or watch the stars come out at night. Very wooded area. Absolutely beautiful! Margie, the owner, was friendly and fun to talk to. We missed meeting her husband as he was out of town but he sounds like a very fun and funny man. We recommend this bed and breakfast to everyone.
