Great place and very nice owners. Quaint comfortable hotel attached to a beautiful home. Nice continental breakfast included in a pretty dining room. The owners are very nice, they make you feel at home. Hershel went out of his way to correct a glitch in the reservation that we made through a third party site. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
