We stayed here for the first time last week and Tracy and Jim, the owners, are simply wonderful. This is exactly the B and B experience you are looking for in New England. You feel welcome and at home here and breakfast both mornings were divine :). Location is excellent - close to both Plymouth and Waterville Valley.

Wonderful experience at the Inn! Visited during the winter holidays and felt like we were surrounded by family. Tracy and Jim were great hosts. Rooms were beautiful, cozy, and clean. Stayed in a piece of history—definitely ask about it during your stay. Beautiful covered bridge down the road and walking trails next to the Inn.

Jim, Tracy and Cooper made us feel so welcome when we arrived for our 2 nite stay. We highly recommend their beautiful place. We played some Cornhole there and enjoyed sitting in the comfortable chairs outside. We enjoyed a nice walk across the road past the pond to a short trail thru the woods that goes to the creek.

    Jim, Tracy and Cooper made us feel so welcome when we arrived for our 2 nite stay. We highly recommend their beautiful place. We played some Cornhole there and enjoyed sitting in the comfortable chairs outside. We enjoyed a nice walk across the road past the pond to a short trail thru the woods that goes to the creek. They recommended different places to eat lunch and dinner. All were good. Our favorite was the Market Basket for a very tasty ham and cheese hoagie and a yummy milk shake. We were amazed at the breakfast we were served. Tracy made this delicious peach cobbler baked French toast with whip cream along with a side of bacon  and fresh fruit cup. We haven’t stopped talking about her recipes. Looking forward to staying during the fall months next time.
