Fantastic location. Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful, private, and clean accommodations. We are always nervous about traveling with our 2 year old as we need a separate room for her since she is a light sleeper, and we are always wary about waking other guests up in the mornings. We stayed in cottage 12 and that addressed all of our needs perfectly. Perfect location to go for a walk and window shop and grab a bite to eat. Breakfast in the mornings should definitely be considered more than continental as they have many delicious offerings including eggs made-to-order during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!!!

Skip is a gem and has done a great job on the restoration! This place is outstanding.

Last December after Christmas, the Midwest and East Coast experienced a blizzard. I had reservations to stay at the 1708 House, but my flight from another state was canceled and I was unable to return to New York in time to make my reservation. I phoned the 1708 House to explain the situation, and the owner answered. He could not have been more accommodating. We obtained a very flexible credit for future use, which we applied to a later stay. The situation described in an earlier review about difficulty encountered during the hurricane is not at all representative of anything we've ever experienced during many stays at the 1708 House. It has always been a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend it.

Did not actually stay here, but if you are in the military or support the military, you should stay away from this place. My wife & I had to cancel a stay here due to Hurricane Irene. When my wife spoke with the owner about possibly refunding our deposit, she mentioned that her spouse is in the military & about to deploy to Afghanistan. He immediately became very loud and verbally abusive, stating that because her spouse is military & about to deploy we DESERVE to lose our money. He went on a long rant during which she hung up the phone. Unbelievable!
