The owner, John, is lovely. He has created a beautiful and eclectic bed and breakfast. There are so many unique and varied details to the decor in this historic farm house that you will notice something new every time you pass through an area. The breakfast was delicious and it was a nice mix of being able to socialize with John and having our own space. Thank you for a fun, comfortable, and enjoyable stay!

Bedroom at the front of the property took on a lot of road noise. 2 yard light illuminating sign deflects much light into the room. Could us some black out or improved shades if you prefer a dark room John was great, breakfast was great too. Comfy bed

John is a very cordial host and he made us feel like old friends upon our arrival. The building is an old farmhouse that is updated just enough to give it modern touches but also keep it's historic character while the decor is whimsical and creative in it's hodge podge way.
