Everything we wanted

The trip was good. The owners called prior to verify a check in time and know to expect us. Check in was no problem. Breakfast was very good. If we are in the area again we would stay.

Milton's mansion

Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.
