Tea and lemonade included in price, other beverages, including beer/wine for additional price. Some seating down a few steps so let them know if you have accessibility challenges in making your reservation. Handicap parking and entrance around back.
Every part of this place is amazing! We didn’t room here, but we enjoyed the restaurant and country store. Everyone was so friendly and the food was so good! It was definitely a comfort food type of dining experience. Can’t rave enough about the staff and restaurant!
We only had dinner at the restaurant did not stay in bed and breakfast. The service was over the top from the owner who sat us with no reservations because was our first time and knew absolutely nothing about the restaurant to the hostess to the servers .The service alone is enough to come back.The atmosphere was great and good location. The great experience at the restaurant the rooms have to be top notch aswell.
Great food and great service. We love dining family style. The only issue is I tend to eat too much. We recently had a reservation for a large party, almost 30, for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Everyone raved about the meal, especially the desserts. Everything was served hot and fresh. The ladies waiting on us made sure we were taken care of. After dinner the owner opened the General Store for us so I could show some family members. It's like a small museum showing what life was like in the area. She also told us a lot about the B&B and the area.
(1st visit- dinner only) Beautiful night! It was a cold, rainy night in February but the atmosphere and incredible food was worth the trip. Highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to stay there this fall! (2nd visit- stayed Friday evening-Sunday AM) Edited*** just got back from my weekend at the cottage and it was absolutely incredible! So much time spent in nature, relaxation, walking/exploring, reading bibles on the porch in rocking chairs, and relaxing in the whirlpool! Will definitely be back-highly recommend!!
Always the best place for a large group, good homestyle food, and great conversation. Always be careful of the floors, not friendly lol that's just a side silly as the The structure/decor/umbiance of old times is definitely a nice touch in the servers clothing. Thank you for always having great food and service!
Our extended family had dinner the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The atmosphere was great. The service was excellent. Food is served family style and has a good variety. We especially loved the crab imperial. The was chicken, BBq brisket, roasted potatoes, stuffing and more. Was an enjoyable evening.
