Delicious breakfasts and cozy charm

We were particularly impressed by the gourmet breakfasts prepared by Zach, with homemade pastries and a delicious bacon and cheese crepe that set the tone for our day. Our room was not onlysuper clean and cozy but also beautifully decorated. Plus, being able to enjoy these meals outdoors while soaking up the serene atmosphere was a good touch. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom facilities could get a bit busy during peak times.

gourmet breakfasts that delight

I felt right at home. Zach and Carrie's warm hospitality shone through, especially with Zach's culinary skills in the kitchen. I savored a variety of meals including gluten-free crepes and good omelets. The home is tastefully decorated, preserving its historical charm while providing modern comforts. I enjoyed lounging in the library, and the chocolate chip cookies left in my room were a good surprise!

The only downside was the muddy parking situation due to the rain. It would have been nice to have gravel in the area for easier access. During peak times, the bathroom could feel a bit busy.

Although my experience was overall positive, the shared spaces felt a bit cramped at times during breakfast hours. Still, the warmth from the staff and the quality of the food made this a wonderful stop during my travels. I look forward to returning.
