Pros. Friendliness of owner
Pros. Teresa is an amazing hostess! She's a fantastic cook, and we really treated us as guests in her home. She took every opportunity to make us feel comfortable. This was as close to ideal as we could get for our family of four. Would definitely come back!
Pros. A great little B&B for a good price in a good location. The breakfast was wonderful and the owners are so friendly and gracious.
Cons. The only issue was that we had one key for the room even though there were three of us, but I expect that is common for a B&B like this one. Still, I would stay there again!
