Testimonials

"Our stay has been wonderful. The breakfast was delicious. We took a morning stroll through Elsah -- it was perfect. The daffodils were popping up everywhere and occasionally you'd get a whiff of juniper. Walking through the town, it was so amazing to see this village, and how well everything has endured. It has been a perfect weekend."

"Breakfast was delightful - thoughtfully and lovingly prepared. It nourished our bodies, while the rest and peace nourished our spirits. I think this is what heaven must be like!"

"Your welcome, the gentle tacking of spring insects against this porch screen, the persistent song of countless birds across this stone and grassy commons. The enveloping air of this season...we together are part of a pulse that I've heard, tasted, relished these three days and nights. Thank you."

"What a delightful place to stay! It felt like home. And I felt very pampered with the wonderful breakfasts. It was more like staying with old friends than in an inn."

"So much gratitude, it cannot be translated on paper. Grateful! Thank you for creating this little oasis..."

"Staying here feels more like knowing friends with a charming, spacious home, who have invited us to visit. We'll be back."

"Peace - Quiet - and a slumber full sleep = all ingredients of a keen B&B." "The room is restful and wonderful. The best night's sleep we ever had away from home. Everything is so lovely and peaceful. We will be back."

"The room was quiet and relaxing, the way we hoped it would be!"

"Wow! You have helped make my birthday a truly memorable one!"
