My husband and I stayed here for one night on our way home from a camping trip. I don't remember the last time that I stayed in a B&B and never had with my husband. What a treat! This place is amazing. Polly Keagon, the owner and innkeeper, is very nice and welcoming (and an amazing cook). She has thought of every detail - fresh flowers fill the upstairs living room and dining area, the gardens that sit in front of the old Victorian home are perfectly tended - hydrangeas, echinacea, gardenia, and dahlias are all stunning. The rooms are clean and feel comfortable and cozy. I am generally very picky about where I stay and rarely will walk on the carpet without my shoes or slippers - I didn't pause before walking around the room barefoot and sitting on the bedspread. Everything felt so clean! Polly asked us what time we wanted to eat as the other guests had other plans and we were the only ones eating. We all agreed upon 9 am. The breakfast was amazing! A bouquet of home grown roses sat on the table. Polly brought out fresh organic fruit salad to start, water with lemon, fresh orange juice. Then after that, she brought out a plate of eggs with Gruyere cheese, perfectly cooked bacon, heirloom tomatoes with sea salt, and homemade croissants (the best either of us had ever had). The coffee was excellent as well. It gets set out early and I went upstairs and had some about an hour before breakfast. The inn is within a few blocks of the main drag in St. Helena and we walked to dinner at the fantastic Martini House. This was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
