    This was our first time to stay at a B&B. I did not know how stressed I felt until I arrived and Jimmy the owner met us at the door and immediately I felt all of my stress leave.

    My college roommates and I meet here every year for a 3-4 day stay (and have for almost 10 years). Our favorite thing to say is that we swim, eat, talk, watch movies, swim, eat, talk, watch movies, nap, swim, eat, talk...... We love the fact that the guest house has every amenity for a great stay! Even a gas grill!

    We had a delightful stay at the ABBA! After 4.5 years of marriage and with our first child on the way, this was our first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and it was a wonderful experience. We first enjoyed the drive through the country to get to the ABBA. Then we spent a relaxing evening walking the beautiful property, enjoying the animals, sitting in the gazebo, and even doing a little swimming. The house was quaintly decorated, quiet, and clean. The best part of our stay was our hosts, who made us feel like family and gave glory to God alone for what He has allowed them to do through their ministry at the ABBA.

    I went here for a scrapbooking weekend getaway, and as soon as you walk in you feel like home. the place was very clean, everything was already set up for us. You do not need to bring anything to this place, everything is provided for you, and the price was very affordable. Thank you for such a great time. Highly recomended!!! looking forward to see you again: Pamela and Jimmy.
