For those unfamiliar with the B&B experience, there is a journal in each room, wherein we encourage guests to share their thoughts and feelings about their stay or anything at all! Most messages are written to the innkeeper, but sometimes they are written to other guests who will come after them as a way of reaching out and connecting.

We thought you might enjoy excerpts from some of our guest journals :

"Amazing! I was stunned to realize that you have only been in charge of this inn for a week but have everything under control! You were so helpful, friendly and thoughtful that this made a special occasion for my sister's 90th birthday even more special! I wish you every success."

"What a wonderful and relaxing time we had over the past couple of days! This was an absolute treat for us, an opportunity to interrupt our busy lives and reconnect with each other. You are a wonderful hostess, full of warmth and energy! And of course, a fantastic cook. Without a doubt, your B&B will be a grand success!"

"What a wonderful place to spend my 30th birthday. Instead of a big, overrated party my husband surprised me with our first trip to a bed and breakfast-we both weren't sure what to expect, but what a great experience! The house is so charming, the room so romantic especially with the jacuzzi tub and fireplace. Breakfasts were unbelievable! Raspberry and white chocolate pancakes-what a treat! Cynthia did a wonderful job making us feel welcome and at home. The fresh flowers were such a great touch. Thank you Cynthia."

"What a wonderful experience this was for us. We can forget about how important time alone is when our days are full of work, kids, school, bills, and the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. Thank you for everything. Your bed and breakfast is exactly what we needed in order to fall in love with each other all over again!!!"
