"This B&B...has friendly perks for the business traveler as well as upscale amenities. ... Rooms vary quite a bit in size and layout." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The wraparound porches might sag a bit, but they're a gracious place to sit a spell. Works well for guests who plan to come and go, without needing lots of personal direction." Full review
