I enjoyed my visit very much until I got a phone call asking if I had taken a bird house from the property. I was disgusted and very upset. I would never steal. I was driving when I got the call and could hardly hear what she was saying. It made my 5 hr drive very anxious. I called back when I got to my destination and had to leave a message requesting I get a call back. No one has ever called me back. So sad because I did enjoy the wonderful breakfast served every morning. The home is very interesting and filled with wonderful things to check out. I won’t go back.

Check in was easy but we were not welcomed very warmly.we were quickly told that we were not in a parking space and would need to move our car. Breakfast was served buffet style but no host or hostess was seem to see if our needs were being met. Everything was clean and inviting but the shower was growing a field of mildew along the base. It doesn’t take much effort to clean that now before it gets worse.

Wonderful, homey, comfortable…attention to details
It was wonderful but please warn guests of steep, narrow steps to 2nd floor rooms. They were manageable for me but could be difficult if you have a bad back or breathing problems.
