Review:
A wonderful place to stay, very much enjoyed the size of the rooms as well as the individual balcony and the huge lawn our room overlooked. Each room is environmentally friendly from the solid woodwork everywhere right down to the ceramic tub in the bath! I have MCS which is pretty acute yet and I had no problems here. The food was nutritious and well presented and I was surprised that the innkeeper could find things to serve Even On My Diet! Sheri is incredible -- educated and knowledgeable about health as well as many specific illnesses. She was friendly, accommodating, helpful in finding things to do in the area and an excellent defender when chemicals presented a problem during my stay. She communicated and effectively removed the perfume and hair products issue--my greatest sympathies to her as I know this caused her much illness herself later. I had not been able to travel til I found this inn and I had the most pleasant stay and a very enjoyable time in this charming little bay city at the beginning of Door County. Many thanks to Sheri for providing a safe haven -- and highest praise given to the cleanliness, decor and comfort of this bed & breakfast.
