This a beautiful house--super clean and filled with antiques. The sweetest couple own this Inn and they make your experience here so wonderful. Together they prepare a huge breakfast with many homemade items, and it was delicious. My room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable.

Absolutely amazing. Bill and Barb were wonderful hosts, they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived until we left. Great homemade breakfast from the 7 grain bread to the yummy jam it was definitely home cooking. Comfortable atmosphere their home made us feel like we were at home visiting our own family. Very reasonable price for what we got in return. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for making us feel so welcome 😊

If you are looking for a quaint, quiet spot in the country this is it! The owners went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, right down to making sure I had gluten free toast for my breakfast. The breakfast was complete with fruit, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast. Super friendly hosts, who sat and had breakfast with us. Great conversation!

Very clean and tidy home. The hosts stayed up late to greet us. Breakfast was a huge spread of fresh eggs, homemade jam, Tomatoes from the garden, bacon, fresh fruit, and homemade bread, and they accommodated my drink preference. The property was gorgeous. Hosts were kind and friendly. Would recommend highly!

It wasn't clear from the description that we would be staying in the home of the owners, and there wasn't a key provided for the room that we stayed in. Breakfast was served in the dining room and the owners sat down with us to eat, which was OK, but it wasn't offered as a choice. The meal was very good and the house, our room, the bathroom, and the property were all very nice, it was just a little bit awkward.

If you like to sleep in total silence this is the place for you. No complaints about the stay. You get a comfortable 'firm' mattress, a clean bathroom, and a homemade breakfast. The owners ate and conversed with us. It is a 'bed' and 'breakfast'.

The Best Bread and Breakfast Ever!
The Bed n Breakfast had a feel of an old country style home appeal. It was very warm, cozy and welcoming. The owners were friendly and simply oozed with hospitality. The food was simply amazing! We even ate homemade fresh bread with breakfast.

What a wonderful stay!! Home and gardens are beautiful. Hosts are delightful. Full breakfast was very good and included homemade breads and preserves. Tranquil location out in the country, but convenient to area highways, golf courses, and 10 min drive from downtown Clare. Will definitely be back!
