B&B with only one B?
Liked: This a beautiful old mansion. The indoor areas are well-kept. Rooms are pretty and the owner seems nice. Kids were welcome to this place.
Disliked: The outdoor areas are in need of update. When we got there, we were immediately told that the breakfast boxes are in the fridge. As I tried to ask about it, I got two different answers: They don’t serve hot breakfast at all or that the owner couldn’t serve it because she had doctor’s appointment. Not sure which one was true. The boxes were far from breakfast we were expecting. So if you are a breakfast person like us, might check the breakfast status beforehand! The rooms have no locks and they get easily chilly. Only one room had a heater. It seems that the owners had other things on their mind than hosting guests as they told they are moving abroad.

We started our new year...
Liked: Our host was very personable, she made us feel at home. The property had plenty of parking. The room was very comfortable and we slept well. The house was a great combination of history and comfort. I like the fact that someone is restoring those great pieces of architecture.

Disappointing
Liked: Location.
Disliked: A dog was loose within the house and barking when we arrived. Throughout the hall and stairway, there was a pervading smell of dog.The mattress was covered with a plastic protector which afforded an uncomfortable night.Prior to arriving, we were notified that staff would not be available to greet us or to provide breakfast (for personal reasons). We were offered a $25 refund in lieu of breakfast which has not been refunded so far, despite us reminding the owner via Booking.com.

A Historic Gem that I...
Liked: The home was beautiful, so full of history and detail. I arrived after dark and left early the next morning, I will go back as I want to stay in the different rooms. The breakfast was so unexpectedly delicious and the caretaker was the best.
Disliked: It took me a minute to locate the driveway.

We would definitely stay here...
Liked: What an awesome mansion. Owner upgraded us to the Master Suite. Our last name is Emig so the room was called the Emig Room. Room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast was awesome. Owner very delightful and had an hour and a half conversation on history and military history.
Disliked: Nothing was disliked.

This is an interesting historical...
Liked: We just stayed for a stopover en route to a wedding. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean and well stocked with towels, extra blanket, nice soaps etc.
Disliked: The mattress was uncomfortable for two adults ( we are not big people) and we met in the middle. Smoke alarm was beeping all night.

We had a great time,...
Liked: The mansion is beautiful with period furniture and a lot of history dating back as far as 1810. Our host, Lori, makes a great breakfast and had great stories to tell about the Emig family and the mansion. We appreciated to homemade blueberry scones in the afternoon.
Disliked: Nothing.

very poor
Disliked: poor location, unkept grounds, bushes almost blocking the entrance. Breakfast consisted of packets for each day left in the in-room mini fridge. The packets contained cheese, apple juice (both okay) plus stale dated yoghurt and some dry biscuits.

Anniversary weekend
Liked: Everything was exceptional from meeting Lori, Cora (her German shepherd) and Aiden, sharing stories learning the history, breakfast, Lori's recommendations. We honestly can't wait to come back. It's like we reconnected with an old friend. The house is calm and peaceful. The interior design was wonderful. The shower was incredible. Honestly I could go on and on. Definitely stop by you'll love it. And remember the house is old there is no elevator!!!
Disliked: I liked everything!! There are NO complaints.
