This is the best bed and breakfast. Beautiful property. The Rose Room was AMAZING. It was clean and went way beyond expectation. The bathtub was a beautiful soaker old fashion tub. Upon check in we were asked our breakfast order for the following morning, served a delicious sweet bread in our room, had chocolates on the bed at nighttime. The breakfast was outstanding. The best salmon eggs Benedict ever. I will be definitely planning another trip, but stay more than one night next time.
