We stayed in the Captain's House Trenholm Suite for a quick get away. Our hostess' were Tina and her wonderful friend Cathy, who greeted us at the door, gave us a brief description of the houses history , showed us where everything was, gave us a few dinner recommendations, and left us with their cell phone numbers should we need anything else. We settled in to our two room suite, which was like our own little apartment with lots of closet space and dressers. The queen size bed was comfy and the linens luxurious. The temperature was controlled with an in room thermostat for our comfort, and there are ceiling fans in both rooms. The suite has lots of windows in the separate sitting room, and one window behind the bed letting in good daytime light. This being said, we would suggest bringing sleep masks, as even with the blind lowered, the light does shine in early, announcing a cheery good morning, perhaps a little before its time. The bathroom is good sized, tub, shower , commode and sink, complete with plenty of fluffy towels. We enjoy our time at bed and breakfasts fairly frequently, and to be honest, along with many others, one draw is a gourmet breakfast! The captains house breakfast, as noted in other reviews, is continental. Breakfast is brought to the common area on a tray, and consists of a scone or croissant, one per person, and a fresh fruit cup. (No butter or jelly is included, although I am sure would be offered if asked) and help yourself to k-cup coffee. We were each given a small bottle of orange juice the first morning and each 2 bottles of water, which curiously were not replenished the second day. We were fine with that, but we did request more k-cups. The suits are located on the second floor of the house, to note is that the steps are steep , great for the glutes, but not so good for the knees. All in all the Captains house is lovely. It sits around the corner, within two blocks of the historically beautiful, and lively, town square, on the banks of the Grandbury Lake. Adirondack chairs are waiting on a lowered deck with the most relaxing views of the lake. Perfect for an evening nightcap, or an early morning cup of coffee.
