We stayed 4 nights in the cottage while visiting antique shops, flea markets, and historic sites in the area. We're from the west coast, so it is a real treat for us to stay on a homestead that is older than any of the buildings at home. The farm is so beautiful! I enjoyed sitting on the porch of the cottage looking at the green trees and fields, and horses feeding in the meadow. Despite the rural feel, this B&B is very close to the expressway, plus many restaurants and shops. My husband loved being just a 5 minute drive from Renningers, Shupp's Grove, and all the other antiquing hot spots that abound in the area.
The cottage was well-equipped and nicely decorated. We enjoyed having our own little kitchen. Although cell phones and wireless Internet don't work in the cottage, you can find places for both by wandering around the property a bit. (HINT: best place for cell phone is down hill, closer to the road; best place for Internet is on the bench in front of the barn...or in the main B&B common areas). The only thing we could have wished for was a better mattress. Even my husband, who can sleep anywhere/anytime, thought it was a bit old and soft.
Most days we left for our adventures too early for cooked breakfast. We just let Debra know and she made sure we had plenty of bread, muffins, and cereal to fix a bite to eat.
She also had many good suggestions for scenic drives and places to dine.
It is a real pleasure to stay in a place where the host(ess) is knowledgeable, and adept at making the whole experience a pleasurable one.
