Pleasurable stay, the couple that run the place are very enjoyable to converse with and knowledgeable about the area. They made the stay a great experience.
We stayed in the 3rd floor penthouse, which had an amazing view of the river and was a great fit for our family of 4. David and Inez were such sweet hosts, cooked incredible breakfasts each morning, and truly made us feel like we were staying with friends.
Such a cozy place. Inez and David were wonderful. The care and love that went into the beautiful breakfasts was amazing. Such a great experience and place to stay.
Great stay in a unique "upper flat" with a great view!
We rented the "Squirrel's Nest" because we were in Burlington for a Celebration of Life. In the midst of this "sad" occasion, we experience a comfortable place to stay and delightful hosts..
And delicious breakfasts!....we will definatelystay definately
We stayed in the 3 floor penthouse. I was a beautiful view with windows all around. The accommodations were perfect and we had all we needed. Inez's breakfast is amazing! It was nice they could give us advice on what to see, what to do and where to eat. Inez and David both wanted to make sure our stay was a great one! Thanks for everything! Jill Sweetland
