    The atmosphere during my stay was very quiet. I enjoyed my stay immensely (4 nights) and all but one night had the BnB all to myself. I spent alot of time just relaxing and unfortunately working. Wireless Internet worked well. I had a different breakfast every morning.. Nothing like waking to the smell of bacon and you did not have to cook...

    This was my first bed and breakfast experience. It was FABULOUS! The room was well appointed, Janice the owner very friendly, food absolutely delicious....loved the banana pecan pancakes, fresh eggs from the chickens on property and the beautiful wild flowers everywhere. I highly reccommend this B&B. If you want a taste of heaven on earth without the high cost, Blue Heron is the way to go.
