Property around house beautifully landscaped gardens with gazebo and numerous outdoor sitting areas. Antique Victorian bed and breakfast mansion decorated with first homeowners’ possessions along with many one-of-a kind 19th century pieces. Softest beds, delicious meals and many stories shared by owners about the life of this grand estate.

Better than staying a chain...

Soulfully Americana without effort…because that’s just what they are. As someone that was born and raised country but long since has resided in the city, it makes me feel warm to know these people and places exist. Warmer still to visit them. Strongly suggested for a large group, meetings, or romantic weekends. They play music well and serve breakfast. How could it be better?
