Barb and Bill are lovely hosts. The accommodations were great, clean and beautifully appointed. Breakfast was delicious. I couldn't have been more pleased.
Absolutely loved our stay at Sweetfern INN. The owners are the nicest hosts you could ask for. We were last minute online bookers, so kinda popped in unexpectedly, but they welcomed us and quickly got our room ready for us. We sat and chit chatted for a bit upon arrival and discovered my husband went to school with some of their family.
Our room was clean and comfortable. Drinks and snacks were provided in room as well as a small dining area across the hall which included a microwave, small fridge, and coffee pot. The bathroom clean and spacious. Breakfast was made shortly after we woke… homemade sourdough pancakes, fresh fruit and bacon with choice of drinks. We sat in the kitchen and talked with the owners while they prepared breakfast then the four of us sat for a family styled breakfast. Absolutely loved the feel of a family style breakfast and conversation.
We will definitely stay again when in the area. Highly recommend the Sweetfern Inn.
PS thank you for the recommendation of the Anderson and Girls Orchards. We loved it. Truly was not expecting the small zoo feel of it! We love visiting zoos and this was a fun addition to our anniversary weekend!
Absolutely charming bed and breakfast. Extremely comfortable beds and pillows. Delicious home cooked breakfast with farm fresh ingredients with house made bread and jam. Wonderful owners!!!
