Kevin and Kate are very gracious hosts! We felt as comfortable as if we were at home, except we didn't have to cook the delicious muffins and breakfast. All in all, a fabulous experience!

The staff was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and informative. The breakfast was delicious and Kate was extremely accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The location was within two minutes of anything you could need in Caribou. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned everyday. The iron collection was beyond impressive.

The breakfast was made to order and FANTASTIC!!! It was not a "this is what you are getting, take it or leave it" situation. We had a choice of time to eat and with or without other guests.
