Wonderful place!

This was such a cute bed and breakfast! It was personable while giving you your own privacy. We are definitely staying here anytime we plan a trip to this location! The owners Rich and Kim make you feel like long time friends or part of their family.

We could not stay there very long, but we loved when we got to the room that they had a fire going. The room was lovely, and it felt very cozy. We got in late and were given a code to get into the room. After reading all the great reviews, we were very disappointed we had to leave before breakfast. We would definitely stay there again.

Super cute little bnb. Very cozy and a really nice place to stay. I will be coming back for sure. Make sure to get there before the sun sets because it’s a little difficult to navigate. But really one of the nicest places I’ve been
