5/5
This is a MUST STAY Bed & Breakfast! 😀.
This raises the bar and sets the new standard to which all others will be rated.
It's a B & B, but better because the rooms are cottages and cabins with your own private bathroom and complete privacy that's more like a suite or a house.
First of all, opt in for the homemade breakfast delivered to your doorstep.
This place alone should be on DDD just for the food itself.
You have 10 choices of a main breakfast that are all made in their kitchen, then you have many choices of sides, then you have the fresh baked bread, and fresh made cinnamon rolls, then the fresh fruit, along with hand picked strawberries ( in season) from their own garden. The food is incredible!
The cottages and cabins have everything you need, pack lite or arrive on your motorcycle.
The hand written notes everywhere show how much love goes into their prepertion for you and your family. The plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies to the bear's in your room ( not real bear's 🐻) of course. The entire buildings are hand crafted by Jeff and his best friend, the attention to detail are second to none. They are well though out, serve a purpose, and architecturally a pleasure to the eye. They are the cleanest and best built place you will find. Linda and Jenn have decorated the entire place to magazine standard's of modern, period, and a step back in time all at the same time.
The signage on the property helps you easily navigate the different buildings, trails, activities and river access points. They have for your convenience, canoe's, and kayaks along with everything you need to enjoy the Potomac River with confidence and safety. They also drop the vessels off at the river for you. There are numerous hiking trails on their 200 acres, all marked, with seating along the way for a rest or just to sit and enjoy nature. There are fire pits all over the property including at the river access. There are gardens to walk through, decks to sit on, porches with rocking chairs, outdoor games, hammock swings etc. There is an indoor game center with ping pong and countless board games with tables and chairs to relax as well. There are outdoor charcoal grills, charcoal, lighter fluid, and all the grilling utensils that you need. There is also an ice machine on the property. Your kitchens have everything you need, all plates, silverware, cups, mugs, coffee maker, toaster oven,
George Foreman's grill, spices, creamer, sugar, sugar substitutes, refrigerator, ..... you need nothing! You also have decks of cards, games, and puzzles in your room as well. You also have snacks and mints in your room and in the office.
All of the water on the property is treated via reverse osmosis and has a several thousand gallon of this treated water supply. This place is perfect for a getaway, or a full retreat. There is also a brand new dining room and Great Room with a fireplace to enjoy the views and nature.
Then to top it all off, you meet the family that owns and manages this beautiful place. They are the nicest, genuine, loving, family that you would ever want to meet. All of this set in a Christian background.
It was a pleasure meeting you guys and can't wait til next time. I have been reviewing places in 49 states, it's tough to crack the top 10 of best places; this is........
The Number 1 Best B & B / cottage / cabins! Hands Down!
UPDATE: ############
OKAY gentlemen,
If you need the perfect place to ask her to marry you........
Then this is the place!
So many options to choose from; mountain views, natural settings, river options, or anywhere else on the grounds.
The perfect cottages, the incredible food, and the best support and service you could ever imagine.
This will make your special day incredibly romantic.
We fell in love here, we got engaged here, and now we will do our wedding and reception here as well; this is a truly blessed and special place as is the family that owns and operates this little slice of Heaven.
Thank you for everything?
