Expedia advertised that they still do breakfast and a kitchen was available as part of the amenities , but when I got there it was not true. I thought I got linked to the direct website of the place. Later I went to google and there it was plain as day, we do not do breakfast. I wish there was a mini refrigerator and microwave in the room. There was college fridge in the hallway that you share with others.

One of the best places I've ever stayed

I've done a lot of traveling over the last few years, and this may be the best place I've stayed. The home is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. You can almost feel the history of the place when you walk in. Great owners, wonderful rooms. I cannot recommend this place enough.
