    The breakfast was wonderful. We were fortunate to be able to sit on the front porch and were visited by a family of deer. A lovely experience and one we won't forget.

    Beautiful grounds, beside the Government House, so deer, rabbits and hummingbirds were regular visitors in the expansive lawns and flower beds. This place has a vibe of elegance, a charming facade and delicious breakfast.
