9.8/10 Exceptional! (28 reviews)

This is an elegant old house from the 1920s which the owners have renovated into a B&B. Andy, the owner/proprietor, is a friendly and interesting fellow who cooked a delicious breakfast for us and shared the history of this old mansion and its previous long time owner. If you are looking for a reasonably priced B&B near Portland this would be a good option.
