This is a wonderful place to stay. The rate was very reasonable, and with the 24/7 Continental Breakfast, it is a real deal. The room was spacious and had a door out to the front porch, which was convenient. The owner was friendly and provided several good dining options.

A different sort of B&B—self-service breakfast. Owner/manager was cordial, interesting. Huge common room included the breakfast area, big patio for nice weather enjoyment, TV, interesting art on the walls. Breakfast options were okay—bagels, English muffins, cereal—nothing special.

Ststers' Get-Away!

My sisters and I were meeting for a sisters get-away. This bed and breakfast was extremely nice. The price was perfect, there was food available, and it was clean. It is smaller but very comfortable and quiet. I would recommend the Moondance Ridge Bed and Breakfast.

Somewhat impersonal since it’s a self check in with packaged breakfast goods in the morning. When we had an issue with AC, we were able to call and get it improved. To be honest, not that much difference from a basic hotel.

This is a lovely small hotel with nicely decorated rooms. It was very quiet; we rarely saw other guests or staff, which made it feel nicely private. Breakfast, while simple, was perfectly adequate and actually available all day. The only thing I didn't like is that the bed is really high; I'm very short and could have used a small step stool to climb in with ! But it was very comfortable and we slept well. This was a nostalgic trip for us, as we used to own one of the houses next door (40 years ago!), so having a lovely place to stay in this so familiar neighborhood was really special.
