I don’t understand the “glowing” reviews on this site. Joe is a very hard-working owner handling maintenance, cleaning/room turnover, cooking, yardwork (a huge lot that would take someone minimum one full day a week to take care of), greeting and guest check-in, and accounting for a 200-year-old building with six or seven rental rooms. It’s an impossible task for one person that’s clearly reflected in the property’s cluttered (xmas decorations in May just added to cluttered room), and only lightly cleaned appearance both inside and out. The listing photos are quite outdated and don’t show the current state. The main photo of front by no means reflects the current reality. With some additional help and TLC, this place could be wonderful again.”

I paid $270 for a night to host my mother in law and her sister. Their mom(my wife’s grandmother) had died just a few hours ago just upstairs from us. After the coroner arrived and handled affrairs, they couldn’t sleep in the building right where it happened. I thought a night away would help ease their nerves a bit. They did have a decent stay at wayside inn up until the morning when they were having breakfast. Checkout was at 11, but they were forced to leave at 10 am. The owner said “other people booked the room”. Mind you, they had another hour to go and was having a pleasant conversation with some other patrons, who were also forced to leave early. The owner/manager literally stood close by staring at them while they were rushed to finish their meal. People like this should not be in the hospitality business. There were less expensive guest tenancy options, but I specifically chose that place because their mom visited many years ago and loved the area. It was part of a good bye for them to be there. The guy ruined the experience.

This historic B&B is packed with history but in need of some general maintenance. While the room was charming, with a large sitting room (complete with working fireplace), it felt like it could use a good dusting. The decor was historic to some extent it did have some random modern touches that didn’t make sense. I swear each room had the most random holiday decorations that were left out all year long. I believe we had a mix of Easter and Christmas in our particular room. The grounds were disappointing and unkept. It’s obvious that the owner switched prior to our stay. The website needs an update to reflect the lack that is going on here or do an overhaul to get this place back to how it was. The food was not accommodating to plant based eaters as it mentioned on the site. I had a bowl of fruit each morning and a warmed English muffin (that I supplied) because there was no toaster. So much potential here on such a great property!
