We just "dropped in" for a one night stay and was very pleasantly surprised at the good accommodations and wonderful time with the hosts. Murphey was especially helpful in local directions and suggestions!! Alice provided us with a wonderful breakfast and conversation. Bob and Joyce More

This was our first B&B and we really enjoyed it. The gorgeous old house was carefully renovated and very tastefully decorated by the owners with much attention to detail. Our room (as well as another one we saw) was in excellent condition, beautiful and absolutely tidy. The house offers a well equipped library (books and dvds) and a comfortable living-room... More

My husband and I agree that this is our favorite B&B to date and we have stayed in a number over the years. Alice and Murphey made us feel so welcome the minute we arrived. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, the rooms are spacious and decorated very nicely (and the bathrooms have heated floors!!) but the best part is... More

I have had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Bowman House many time while visiting my family in the area. Staying with Murphey and Alice is always wonderful, the house is warm and welcoming, the food delicious, and the hosts spectacular. Alice always manages to amaze me with new delights for breakfast. The popovers and broiled grapefruit this trip... More

We've stayed at the EJ Bowman House each of the past 11 years... at twice a year on occasion. It's always, always, always wonderful. The attention to detail is fantastic, from helping with reservations, snacks in the afternoon, heated bathroom floors, and excellent breakfasts to homemade cookies waiting to be eaten, all manner of hot beverages and MORE. To say... More

We stayed at the Bowman House on our honeymoon 10 years ago. We recently went back to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Everything was just as lovely as we remembered it; it was like visiting with old friends. Murphey and Alice had flowers, chocolate, and sparkling cider waiting for us. The Bowman Suite is GORGEOUS and roomy. The B&B has so... More

Murphy and Alice have not forgotten anything that one would like to have while traveling. Our room was decorated very nicely, the bed was most comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed. My husband commented on the hand soap!! The breakfast was a feast. I am not a breakfast person, do not eat most breakfast foods and Alice and Murphy... More

The EJ Bowman house and room accommodations were great and the hospitality shown was greater. My daughter and I enjoyed the home (very clean and inviting) and all of its extras such as the sitting room and the garden. The food was excellent thanks to a great chef. The hostesses topped it off by being warm and caring, and informative... More
