Darlenes Guest Cottage

The Rose Room is absolutely lovely! I was so comfortable sleeping on a high quality mattress made with luxury European linens. The property is quiet and I felt right at home! The garden is the most beautiful I've seen! Darlene has created an English garden which is a delight to walk through and there are lots of places to sit and relax. I enjoyed eating a delicious breakfast made by Darlene on the side porch with a lovely view of the garden. Loved hearing the birds sing too! If you're looking for a quiet getaway with personal attention, try Darlene's home. You won't be disappointed!

Darlene is lovely! The historic home is filled with antiques and amazing architecture. Bedding is luxurious and the mattress is very very good quality. No skimping here! Enjoy your time exploring the gardens and sitting areas. Her hydrangeas and roses are extraordinary. Now breakfast will be over the top with eggs in a secret recipe pancake and homemade pastry rolls, grapefruit and French press coffee....I could go on but you will be touched by her consideration and thoughtfulness. Ask to see the Madame Alexander doll collection or the pristine linens. I am grateful for the time spent with her and in the main house. Go. You shouldn't be disappointed!!!

The gardens are stunning! The gardens are so well kept, and the interior decor of the cottage I also love. You will have a wonderful time if you visit and Darlene is a treasure! I highly recommend

The "cottage" was ca 1960-70, homemade construction with many layers of paint. Very amateurish. It was awkward and uncomfortable for us. Rust on faucets and drains, rust on old style towel racks. Lots of rust. Much more like staying at Grandma's family farm than a "guest cottage". Decor??? It was a hodge-podge of furniture. Floral patterns and ruffles EVERYWHERE. Maybe they were left over when they redecorated the main house. That's what if feels like. BEWARE It has a programmable thermostat that drops the nighttime temperature in the winter down to 50 degrees. We almost FROZE. The outside walls don't appear to have insulation, because the wind blows through them. Single pane windows had frost on the inside. I expect that the summer will be the reverse with a small window a/c

Top notch motel, the people there were so kind and know how to make a good cup of Joe. Beds are so comfortable and I’ve never slept better. Shower is wonderful, nice and hot.
