    This B&B is very clean and comfortable. It offers an inviting porch providing you the opportunity to enjoy quiet time. Larry & Maggie are gracious hosts who offer assistance as well as pleasant conversation. Our breakfast was excellent - Maggie's pancakes are the best! Do not hesitate to travel to this B&B in spite of the recent flooding. We stayed there the eve. of 9/21, and had no difficulty accessing the property. We encountered a short (approx. 10 min.) driving delay due to road work in the area. We hope to return to Serene View Farm B&B in the near future. Without reservation, we highly recommend it to others. Joe & Jane - New Jersey


    We recommend it!

    We spent a night in this B&B and really enjoyed it! The place is so beautiful and calm and the breakfast was delicious. Maggie & Larry are extremely welcoming and nice. Please ask (and follow) Maggie's directions to the B&B instead of your GPS, if you do not want to get lost ;o) We unfortunately only spent a night but we will be back!
