    “Breakfast was great, even though there are no cooked omelets anymore. Good selection - yogurts, fruit cups, pastries, cereal. Also no large dining table anymore - separate tables for two, convenient for those in a hurry.”

    “Everything was great, though we didn’t realize during booking that the bathroom would be shared. That said, it was always clean and easily accessible, so it wasn’t an issue. The place itself was cozy and full of charm, with the character of old...”

Property info

The four story brick house at 1804 Pine Street has had many people pass through it since it was built in the mid 1800’s. When La Reserve’s owner, Beverly Ensor, moved into the house in 1943 with her parents and new born brother, she was just a little girl, her parents, Catherine and Samuel Stark were landlords and shop owners. Her mother managed the rental properties and father ran a grocery store and deli. La Reserve was named after a hotel in Geneva, Switzerland that Beverly had visited and enjoyed, with the same name. She decorated the house with the furniture she grew up with, pieces from family members and antiques. The rooms were named after history, memories and a bit of whimsy. 1806 Pine Street, which has La Reserve's studios and one bedroom suites, was an apartment building that Beverly's mother managed and added to the B&B’s roster in 2007.
