Rooms are very clean and the attention to detail by the maid was incredible. Even Hung up clothes that I had on the couch for Me while I was gone. Breakfast in the mornings was very delicious and not your normal run of the mill breakfast. Very charming inn, a true bed and breakfast.

Our stay here was beyond our expectations! We were greeted in the morning with coffee and a 2-course breakfast. Amelia and her staff are so personable and told us the history of the house over breakfast which was amazing to hear. Our room was beautifully decorated and cozy. We will definitely be staying again when we come back! ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry Aug 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An amazing property with an amazing host and staff!

The back half was built in 1753 and the front half in the 1780, yet this historic home had all the conveniences of the modern world: snug windows, heated bathroom floor, and easy to control heatng. The B&B was originally the home of the great-uncle of Ralph Waldo Emerson. One of our favorite times were breakfast. Amelia, our hostess, is a great cook and so much fun to be around. While we stayed 11 days, the variety of breakfasts never ceased. We would gladly stay there again. In fact, we are looking forward to it. ![Guest lounge with soft drinks and wine](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C8371134B791590D52BFC188064F0FE8AB5DCE1F1704781600344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Guest Livingroom with cookies](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AABE712BA2C76DC9D41637877EDB5CE5E0655EAF1704781600280.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fireplace](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6D28429ABA7ECBEEEDF5C2AED61271E6E698E0EB1704781600596.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Kitchen and breakfast room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DD0C469C983B61F62ADA328138E99615CD91209A1704781600481.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 16 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg Jun 25, 2025 ##### Greg Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daphne Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Inn perfection!!
