Milton's mansion

I loved the history behind the house and the town. The orginal owner was connected to George Washington and his military exvursions. The bed was so comfortable and the hosts delightful.

We had a very nice weekend staying at this historic home . We slept like babies in a very comfortable bed and enjoyed breakfast made to order. The owner asked what we would like to eat and served what we requested, even though the other couple staying there this weekend had requested other items. Now THAT is special service!

Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.
