    Blair and Ross have a wonderful guest house that is close to restaurants and attractions. Their breakfast is excellent with lots of choice. We stayed 3 nights and would have liked to have stayed longer. Parking was easy, too.

    My friend and I had a great stay! Rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious and timely, and hosts were super friendly. We parked our car in the lot and were able to walk to and from all our outings, which was key. Would book again!
