Cindy, the Innkeeper, was exceptionally friendly and so accommodating. The pastries and continental breakfast choices were fabulous. We enjoyed the company and conversations with the other guests.

Joni United States of America

Prefer a hot breakfast however the continental breakfast was fine. Very good fruit and coffee. Ready promptly each morning, Quiet neighborhood yet short walk to activities. Shared bathroom very clean.

Paula United States of America

It could not have been cuter or cozier especially for the holidays. The fireplaces and Christmas trees were all lit up providing a wonderful ambience. Claire and Elliott served wonderful parfait and scones every morning to get my day started. I was just steps away from all of the hustle and bustle from downtown. The roof walk was an unexpected bonus! Even though I had to share a bathroom it was never really a problem. And the bathroom was very nice and large and modern. They went above and beyond to make sure that I knew where everything was in the house and in town and even offered me a ride when my taxi didn’t show up. Very kind people. The house is charming and quaint. I would stay there again.

Jodie United States of America

Wonderful historic inn with charming details and a welcoming host. Loved having my delicious breakfast on the porch overlooking the the charming street scene below. The afternoon snack was an added pleasure to enjoy during my two-day stay.

Gordon United States of America

Breakfast was perfect. Ideal location, close to town center but away from “ crowds”. Claire and her staff were exceptional: gracious and always helpful

Naomi United States of America

Breakfasts were very good, especially the home made scones. They were on time every day at our requested 7:45 slot. Afternoon treats were something to look forward to everyday. The porch is a great place to relax with coffee, a book or just enjoy the day. Claire is a wonderful Innkeeper. We chatted a pit all we had accomplished during our stay. Great lady.
