If you arr looking for an old historic home for a bed and breakfast experience, this is the place. Great hosts and wonderful breakfast included. Beats the holiday inn by far.

Beautiful Get-Away
The "whole house" experience is nice. Owner welcomed us in, gave us a history of the house (and our room in particular). Nice touch

Better than staying a chain...
Soulfully Americana without effort…because that’s just what they are. As someone that was born and raised country but long since has resided in the city, it makes me feel warm to know these people and places exist. Warmer still to visit them.
Strongly suggested for a large group, meetings, or romantic weekends.
They play music well and serve breakfast. How could it be better?
