This was our first stay at a B&B. The owner was very hospitable. Our room was quaint and the bed was comfortable. The over all country charm was very nice. Breakfast was served at a time of our choosing. Would consider staying again.

Aurhentic farm experience

Terri (and Ralphie the cat) were exceptional. It felt like a true farm experience. We loved everything. The breakfast was excellent and mainly from the farm, Terri is so kind and always quick with a joke. And we wrre glad we rememebred our rubber boots. Terri gave us an amazing tour of the farm and meeting the animals.

Off the beaten path but worth finding

Very nice, clean, friendly place. The Innkeeper, Terri, was charming and gave us great advice about places to go and, especially, good places to eat. She also prepares a great breakfast herself. The B and B is on a working farm, which we found interesting. A little out of the way, but worth it.

My 13 year old daughter and I had such a wonderful time at the Seaweed and Sod Farm Bed & Breakfast. Terri and Dave took the time to make us comfortable and ensure our stay was pleasant. Breakfast was AMAZING and the room was spacious and cute. The location was absolutely stunning. Our only regret was not staying longer. We will be back!

Terri was warm welcoming as was her home. Our room was lovely and clean with a comfy bed. An upstairs sitting area offered a fridge and coffee/tea maker. A delicious hearty breakfast with French press coffee got our day started. This is a charming old farmhouse off the beaten path with beautiful lake views.
