What a unique and wonderful experience! The continental breakfast is very ample and delicious. I had the goat cheese and blueberry quiche, and there are 5 outstanding complimentary breakfasts to choose from. Upon arrival, the dining area was decked out from a weekend Alice in Wonderland dinner. A beautiful and creative display. The staff was extremely accommodating. The bed was comfortable; the room a classy Victorian style. The Silver Fountain is an adventure!

This historic building seems period furnished (not an expert here) and was very well maintained. The operation is well organized. The staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfast included a few selections for each element. The food was not all prepared to order but was of good quality. there was an fantastic breadth of teas from which to select but be warned that formal tea service (a quest of my spouse) is not available everyday.

This is a very unique place to stay and we could tell it is VERY well maintained. The whole place is so beautiful but as someone who works in hospitality, I took extra notice of how clean everything was, and little extras like the tea and coffee stations that are available all night. The yard is impeccable as well. However, the most impressive detail to me was all of the beautiful crown moulding, doorframes, etc. The owners very clearly put a lot of work and pride into what they do.

Relaxing stay
I was thrilled with the Inn. Easy check in with clear directions and comfortable surroundings. I loved my room. The bed was very comfortable and it had all the amenities I could ask for. Cleanliness is one thing I notice and my room and bathroom, as well as the hallways and dining areas met that expectation very well. Without a doubt, I would choose this Inn when traveling or just needing a getaway for a night or two.

As a boutique property, the Silver Fountain Inn was wonderful. I loved my room and all the Victorian touches as well as the water and wine options in the room. The dining room was beautifully set up with coffee and tea available throughout the day. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts Jim and Pam were cheerful and helpful. I would return if ever I happen to be in the area and would recommend it to others.
