My boyfriend and I wanted to have a nice, romantic weekend getaway and after doing hours of research we finally decided on the Wander Inn. Karen, the owner, was a complete doll!

After reading thru 40 plus previous reviews(including one extremely negative review ), we opted to book for a few reasons. 1) off street parking, 2) pricing and 3) the positive feed back on multipleTrip Advisor reviews from earlier visitors.

This had to be my best experience with a Bed and Breakfast! Karen was so accommodating with special dietary request. She was right on top of suggestions of what to see, where to go and restaurants to try.
