"The perfect place to spend a relaxing time. Sitting on the deck above the river was the best part of the day - beginning and end. You folks are charming, and I'm happy to have been here."

"A great stay!! Enjoyed the natural setting, walking to the trout pond and time on the river. Napping while the rain fell on the skylight was calming. The bath tub was a treat. During our stay the weather varied from stormy to sunny, but the accommodations perfectly suited both. Relaxed, refreshed, we'll be back!"

"What a wonderful serene hideaway! You have addressed every tiny detail to make staying at your B&B a real pleasure. It was so nice to have everything we needed in the kitchen - just had to bring groceries! Thank you so much. And thanks for your fabulous granola recipe!"
