The bed and breakfast was nice and quiet and warm....was a pleasant little vacation stay. Darrell was very welcoming and kind and even called earlier in the day to let me know his wife was sick and wouldn't be able to cook breakfast (as she would need to stay away from spreading germs while she healed) and asked if I wanted to cancel. I thought that was very thoughtful to give me the option to cancel and provided a breakfast gift card, but I felt safe to still stay. I didn't meet lovely Marla (understandably) but hope to at a later date. Everything was very clean and bed was cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend staying here.

Congenial hosts made us feel welcomed in their well maintained home. Breakfast was excellent. One small drawback was private bath across hallway.
