Comfortable and clean facility. Everything I required was in my room. I had to leave early for work each morning and was given a healthy breakfast plate the night before so that I didn't miss out.

We stayed in the Walker Suite (King Bed, Private Entrance). Overall we quite liked our spacious and comfortable room. Welcoming and cozy, well suited to our 2 day stay. Proprietor was very friendly and accommodating. One word of caution about our room was that it is adjacent to the kitchen/dining area. We didn't find it too disturbing but we certainly heard some of the activity from there. If you're a late sleeper you may want to pack your ear plugs. We'd definitely stay again in both this room and in this house.

We attended a wedding in the area. By the end of the night the parking was full and we had to park side ways to fit on the end of a Driveway. The place is listed as a bed and breakfast but there is no breakfast. There is a boxed breakfast you can order but pricey. Place was clean and enjoyed the private entrance. An older home so a/c was a plug in unit which is loud at night. Check in was smooth. Overall a nice stay

Thank you for your comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The main floor suite (Walker Suite) is the only room in the house with the floor model AC unit. It was not possible to get the central air into this room. Our parking situation has always been this way for the past 10 years. The last car to return parks parallel to the garage and blocks our garage doors. COVID has caused many "hick ups" in our previous breakfast routines. When COVID started we removed breakfast from the price of the rooms and removed the Bed and Breakfast portion from our listing. Sharing the dining space with other guests is not an option at this point in time. We feel that the boxed breakfast are a great alternative. We will be re addressing the breakfast options at the end of this summer.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. As we have been recovering from COVID many of our returning guests have told us they are not comfortable sharing our smaller dining room at this point in time. For that reason we posted on Expedia that the dining room was closed until Sept 3, 2022. The boxed breakfasts have been very popular with guests. They are individually made each day by the local deli, and we feel they are excellent value for the money. We will be re addressing the breakfast options at the end of this summer.
