We loved staying here. The room was nice and clean. Michelle was a great host and she made the most amazing breakfast. We definitely will be going back!

This was an ok stay. The B and B was recently sold so the new owners have made plans to fix it up and make it better
It was so cute and cozy ! Ellie was great. We were the perfect distance from everything ! We walked the whole trip it was incredible. Would definitely come stay here again !!
The breakfast was super both nights. The Inn was very nice. It was easy to walk most every place. We are within 1/2 mile of most every place. Too bad the owners have let the landscaping around the Inn go down. It would not take much to bring this landscaping back up and really improve the looks from the outside.
Check in great, the staff friendly, room so so, breakfast excellent, dining room could be cleaner, WiFi frustrating in and out service, tv didn’t work we reported right away and they never did fix it, noisy, dumpster below our room window, good location, parking very tight. Probably will not ever stay there again.
The location is excellent, and the value per dollar was appropriate. The staff went out of their way to make the stay special.

We were greeted with a very friendly host. We arrived a little late and when she said they have happy hour 4-5 which we missed she still offered us a glass of wine and some sweet cake. Being in historic downtown was awesome and very walkable to St. George st I so enjoyed that. Our room was amazing and very Victorian and quiet. Breakfast was delicious and Ellie was very kind and gracious. Enjoyed it all and would stay there again
Room was clean but a couple of things weren't working and could use a refresh (shower, caulking, etc). Breakfast was barely acceptable for a B&B; should have been better. Only 1 staff member available and seemed rushed. Outdoor areas dirty and unkempt.
