Shirley even broke out her winter gloves and hats to share with us for our bike ride on an un-seasonably cold day. Mike and Shirley have an eye... More

“Like a week-end with friends or family”

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B. Mike and Shirley the owners looked after us very well. They also highly respected our privacy. The food was really good-down home quality but with a fanciful flare. The buckle was quite delicious! They are awesome about dietary restrictions but still making the food high quality and interestingly delicious!!! The house itself... More
