The location is well located and within walking distance of most of the sites and restaurants in town. The room was well appointed and breakfast was top-notch and delicious.... More

After reading all the positive reviews about this place, we tried it and couldn't agree more to everything positive we read. First off, Heather, Michael and son Jaxson are amazing. They couldn't have been more helpful... More

We had a great weekend at the Samuel Durfee House, the B&B is located in a very convenient location allowing us to walk almost everywhere. Both Heather and Michael are extremely accommodating, they were helpful with recommendations in the area - not to mention their skills in the kitchen. The breakfasts were delicious each morning.

First, I'll echo all the other reviewers; Michael and Heather are outstanding B&B hosts - you will not find any better. The property is a beautifully restored and tastefully furnished historical gem in a perfect location. The rooms are clean and comfy and the breakfasts are truly gourmet. We plan on returning ourselves and giving a weekend at the Samuel... More
