We stayed 4 nights and as time went on, it felt more like visiting with family than renting from an establishment. The owners and staff were very thoughtful about making sure we were having a good stay. From remembering how we like our coffee, to recommending places to visit, and taking an interest in our days’ adventures, we felt truly welcome and comfortable at Captain Grant’s. Special callout to Nelly, she is amazing and an absolute gem!
The furniture and decor was very cozy. The bed was comfy, and the shower was hot with perfect pressure, just how we like it. Conversations were engaging, breakfasts were tasty, and we enjoyed sips of the complimentary sherry at the conclusion of every evening.
I would offer only one minor detail to future guests for their own awareness. The website describes that complimentary desserts are offered each day. Prior to our visit, I read many reviews online raving about Carol’s homemade baked goods, and we were really looking forward to sampling her treats! We were offered Keebler-type packaged cookies for our stay. Not quite what we were expecting, but we did get to try her strawberry-rhubarb compote at breakfast and received a complimentary dessert at a nearby restaurant because we were guests of the inn, which left our cravings satisfied.
We’re looking forward to visiting the inn again!!
Cons: too many.. rooms are far from clean and comfy. If you don't like bugs, stay elsewhere. Spiderwebs (many, Many! old ones in the lovely wood beams as well along walls n corners makes it clear they do not thoroughly clean often at all). Not to mention the several live spiders (at least 5) in the bathroom alone. The room was very dark which made me leery of what else I prob wasn't seeing. Look, I live surounded by woods, I'm used to all kinds of creepy crawlies but I wanted a relaxing break from them! A historic BnB shouldn't feel like camping. A lake would've been more refreshing to since the shower pressure was a trickle which made the slowest tub drain ever even worse. By the end of one shower the tub was half filled. Yuck! It took over half an hour to drain and I had to manually rinse the soap 5x to clean it so my partner could take one! we didn't read reviews extensively prior to staying (we had power outages and chose this for its decent rating) but of course became curious during our stay. apparently this is not the first review of clogged tubs! We didn't even bother showering the morning we left. Bit wait, there's more...as a frequent traveler I Always check mattress n sheets. Well, the good news I didn't find bed bugs...bad news, just dead bugs. And sheets and mattress cover had stains. Upon request,, sheets were changed, cover was not. We could tell because of the stains! And like another reviewer wrote, owners hold a friendly card game every Saturday. Didnt affect us but it could be loud for some rooms or those looking for a quieter quaint stay.
Overall, just a shame with such great potential if only there was more detailed attention. After all, the bed and bath are pretty much the key things you want clean and working right??
other B&Bs like dessert available for snacking any time of the day or night, free beer, wine & sherry if you choose to take advantage.
The staff was always working about cleaning the inn. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The grounds were extremely neat and well cared for.
I can't wait to visit again.

We were misled by the owners into believing that the room would have been part of the main house, as nowhere on the website does it indicate that there is another building with rooms.
Beer? Only Bud Light. Wine? In boxes.
Roku TV, bring your own batteries.
White noise machine they give you to drown out the traffic that is blowing right by your room, didn’t have a volume high enough.
And you really need to have a propensity for the odor of musty.
