Very charming, warm and clean and comfortable. Howie is a real hoot, and his young bride makes the best breakfasts in town. Walkable to town (5 minutes) with many dining/entertainment/shopping options. Check out the Heriage trail for a beautiful morning walk. Definitely be back.

We loved the theme of the Historic Lyons House! Each room was decorated with beautiful period furnishings and yet had all the modern conveniences. The breakfasts were so delicious, creatively presented and filling. Bootsy, the cat, was very receptive to all the morning and evening petting. We thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed Howard’s insightful chats about the area’s attractions and history. We hope to return in the future during the warmer months to see the gardens in bloom in the backyard!
