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.

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.

Jeanne was a great host. The suite was cozy and quiet. Bed slept wonderful. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices between hot items, friut and juices. Enjoyed our stay, will definitely enjoy another visit in the future. The house has so many antiques and tons of charm and character. Thank you for being such a wonderful host.
