"Very nice building with a view of giant oak trees and the waterway. This was our first B&B. I heard from the other guests that it is nicer than most. So of course it costs more. There were some nice areas to sit on balconies and porches around the building. They had the best towels and a really nice bed. The staff was friendly and easy to communicate with. The chef made a great breakfast."
