That said, this place and the host "Paps" are such a refreshing change from the usual B&B fare. The place is a well lived in 150 year old farm house and the host is a warm, personable person who also puts out an excellent breakfast. The location is about 10 minutes from downtown West J. We stayed in the President's suite and I would recommend it. It has everything needed including a large bathroom and a comfortable queen bed; not to mention the fridge, microwave and coffee maker.

Because we booked with points, they didn't give us our preferred king BED but rather two queen beds. Perhaps most notable of all is they charge for parking. We asked about the policy and the answer was some IHG hotels do it. IT Isn't that much money but given the price of the hotel rooms it's just one more expense. It's unnecessary. We've stayed at IHG hotels worldwide. This is the first hotel outside of a major city that charges for parking. We won't be back.

I would define it as "Sophisticated Simplicity". I was staying here for a personal getaway and was assigned to a beautiful room with a separate sitting room, a gorgeous bathroom, and a zen bedroom. The decor was lovely, stylish and tasteful. The staff was professional and helpful. It was quiet and relaxing and only a short walk away from the town center, perfect location! There is a pretty little creek that winds along the back garden area, I really enjoyed sitting out and watching the ducks.

Rooms are not as described and Expedia wouldn't help with the refund. Let me list: Upon entering the parking lot there is a broken down vehicle on tires. The rooms reek of smoke even though it says no smoking. There are burn stains all over the furniture from previous smokers. The room in general is disgusting. Likely gently cleaned. Blankets had stains on them. The room was falling apart: Holes in wall, furniture beat up and broken, appliances extremely old. A hole on the wall was being covered by a stuffed tissue. Property did not feel safe. I could go on but this is the general experience. I left after 20 minutes as we had children with us and it was not safe to have them on property.

We planned this trip as our first anniversary weekend to get away from the chaos of everyday life and it was every bit of what we needed. Unlike other B&Bs, Scott and Loren's home offers a secluded and private setting where you can enjoy the grounds without having to tiptoe around other guests or wait for a good spot on the porch to open up. It offers a level of comfort and seclusion not easily found elsewhere. Their property is amazing with gardens throughout and a quietness you cannot find at other B&Bs. They are incredibly welcoming to their home and go out of their way to make you feel appreciated. While we were secluded from civilization, the home itself offered all of the amenities you could ever need. We especially enjoyed exploring the books on the shelves, sitting on the porch, looking at the many species of trees and plant life, and perhaps best of all Scott's French Toast breakfast. I cannot stress enough just how wonderful our stay was and how accommodating they were to our last-minute changes. We are deeply appreciative for their hospitality and every little touch they put in to make our stay a memorable one. We will definitely be back for future stays.

The pool was was on the smaller side but big enough. We stayed during the week so it was never crowded. We had a king bed suite room that included a pull out couch. We loved the extra space for our toddler to romp and roam after a long day of driving. The bed was comfortable and included several pillows of all comfort levels. The walk in shower didn't leak any water upon entry or exit! Staff were incredibly friendly at both check in and check out. Breakfast staff were attentive and helpful. I dropped 1 star for 2 reasons - 1) breakfast was good but limited options. It was well stocked, clean and staff was so nice so I kind of feel bad for dropping a star for this but it's nice to have a little variety beyond the basic norms. 2) there is one hill that serves as the entry to 3 hotels. They allow tractor and trailer trucks to park along both sides of this entry making it one lane in and out. You will also sit and wait while these large trucks back up several times to fit perfectly on the side of the road. We would stay again despite the 2 things mentioned above!
