Beautiful surroundings, nicely decorated bedrooms and common area, close to everything, awesome breakfasts, great suggestions on where to drive, even help scraping the car window on the first snowfall of the year. All of this made for a near perfect experience.
There are just a few small things that could have helped make it a perfect experience for me. Please note that these are not criticisms because these things might be unimportant to someone else or might even have detracted from their experience. But for folks for whom these things may be important, it is best to know up front. First, I wish there had been more light in the bedroom and common areas. I know it is intended to be a romantic getaway (and it is) but I would have loved to be able to better see what the books were on the bookshelf (or to read my own books). Second, I would have appreciated a microwave in the common area so that if I didn't want to go out to dinner I could have heated something up. Third, Tom was very gracious when we arrived and when he brought us breakfast. We never met Sheri. They are so intent on giving you your privacy that they are virtually invisible. While I far prefer that to someone who is always in your face, after reading about how nice they were I wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more of them. To me, the innkeeper is part of the overall ambiance of a B&B and I missed that a bit here. Lastly, because the breakfasts are so amazingly delicious and delivered to your room, it is understandable that they have to be kept to a fixed time. However, since many people will have events or travel that conflict with the 9 a.m. breakfast time, I found myself wishing that Tom and Sheri would leave out some fruit and cereal for those who can't stick around for the full breakfast.
I realize that these small things I have listed take up much more space than all the good things I mentioned. Don't let this mislead you. This was a terrific B&B, we would return in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone. Just wanted to be true to the goal of this site by giving other travelers info to help them make the most informed decision possible.
