The setting is lovely and the house is really beautiful. There is interesting history to the property which we enjoyed. The room was very comfortable and we... More

The hosts are genuinely interested. Checked for food needs. Even offered to figure out how to shuttle our car for kayaking on the river, which is beyond the call of duty. House was quiet, even though it is not in a secluded setting -- it has an interesting history. No DVD player. No breakfast breads. Nearby Gem and Keystone restaurant... More

This b n b, in a beautiful setting, is made even more interesting by its history. It was once home to bandleader Fred Waring and photos of his many famous guests are displayed in the inn. The food was delicious, the hosts very gracious and helpful and even though the inn is very peaceful, there are lots of different activities... More
