We wanted to try some place new for a romantic weekend and Farmers Guest House was perfect! Our room, The Charlotte, was warm and comfortable for relaxation. The breakfast that was made fresh every morning was by far the best we have ever had. The little extras like wine time with cheese and crackers made the weekend even better. We are already planning on going back. If I could have given this a 10 star review, I would have! You will not regret spending time at the Farmers Guest House!!

As I had found that this property was once owned by my 3X great granduncles I was fascinated by the history and walked in their footsteps. As I descended the original, narrow stairs with the low hand rails I imagined the original women in their high button shoes and hoop skirts more gracefully than me maneuvering them daily. It was a pleasant step back in time with it's antique atmosphere and original structure. It was my 48th wedding anniversary and staying at a family home made it even more special. Cheese, crackers, wine, dark chocolate and chocolate chip cookies greeted us. The following days breakfast was excellent. I was very pleased that the current proprietor would listen to my history and share what he knew. It was once owned as a family venture, bakery/general store/boarding house and is again being well taken care of by another family. When I return to do further research I will again stay there and check out the ghost that will not let the basement door stay closed. Thank you to Farmers Guest House for making our stay so special.

Julia Room is perfect

Attentive Service, great food. Friendly staff welcomed us energetically though we were 15 minutes early. The room had a divider door from the bedroom for privacy if someone were to rise early they would not disturb anyone. Wine and tasty snacks were served in the afternoon, cookies, a complete and full breakfast, plenty of coffee. We lacked nothing.

Mark, Like and Elaine were fantastic hosts! Elaine's breakfasts were incredible and we really liked that there was coffee, tea, water, etc. in the dining room all day. The room was decorated nicely and the bed was very comfy. I'll start the rest by saying this was our first B&B so maybe the things we didn't like as much are just normal... Last but not least, the parking option was not great - it was a municipal lot across the street and driver's were not observing the speed limit on that road. If nothing else, there should be a crossing light for patrons of this lot. The walls were really thin - we could hear everything going on outside with loud traffic, and everything that was taking place in the rooms next to us (EVERYTHING). The bathroom door would not close all the way and did not have a lock (I like to leave some parts of my bathroom time to my husband's imagination and vice versa), so that was uncomfortable. Although there was coffee in the dining room, I wish there would have been coffee in the room - it was inconvenient to throw clothes on and go downstairs to get coffee since I didn't want to go down to the dining room in my PJs.

Beautiful Bed & Breakfast. Loved all the History that came with it. We stayed in the Aimee room. It was perfect. The breakfast was top notch...we loved the quiche. We stayed for our 25 year anniversary and had a nice note and brownies waiting for us upon Check in. We also did a couples massage right there at the B & B, it was so nice and relaxing. We walked to Main St. for the Halloween parade. I would stay again and I’ll definitely let my friends know about this perfect getaway.
