Joslyn House

The property was unrecognizable because of ongoing construction, as well as being unmarked and without any signage. The thing we liked the most was leaving as early as possible the next morning.

Once we arrived, the hosts were to busy watching TV, to open the front door. The outside of the house was in complete disrepair, with the porch filthy and unsafe. Once we were admitted the inside was undergoing construction, with equipment laying around, and exposed electrical wiring. The bedroom windows were immovable and extremely dirty. The property had absolutely nothing nothing in common with the online ad. One of the worst lodging experiences we've ever had.

The history of the place is so interesting.

Although under construction outside, beautiful inside. Well decorated in lush period decor throughout from the soft carpeting, furniture, to the designer wallpaper and interesting art. The bed was very comfortable, the room beautifully well-appointed. The hosts thoughtfully provide toiletries if needed. The hosts were warm, conversational and accommodating, asking questions about rooming and dietary needs. The breakfast fine china was elegantly situated along a counter and fully appointed with fruits, scones, grains, dairy, condiments, hot breads and freshly whipped cream. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of it. The just-out—of-the-oven quiche and berry galette were award-winning and just made!

The hosts thoughtfully provided 5 routes to find the property and slightly hidden entrance so we were on alert and didn’t have a problem. I think some balloons, a sign or such at the entrance - reflective for night - would make it easy to find the driveway.

The morning meals were amazing, along with the conversations with the hosts. The location and easy access to local attractions, along with the separation from the nearby larger town made it a worthwhile stop. The interior of the building was well restored with original materials preserved where possible. The ongoing renovation work was clearly understood and did not attract from the stay. It added to the conversation. Will definitely return if circumstances allow.

Accommodations for shoes on the porch would be nice.

Beautiful historic home and owners are delightful! Best breakfast I’ve had in years thank you so much!

Fantastic breakfast. Owners were friendly and helpful and friendly. What a beautiful home! The owners have created an incredible B & B!

Breakfast was phenomenal, Terry made wonderful, delicious offerings every morning.

The “ under construction “ state of the grounds and premises was not inviting in the least. Place needs a deep cleaning, although linens were good.

Terry the host provided wonderful breakfasts, above and beyond!

Unfortunately the construction looks like it is a forgotten place, uncared for exterior, nothing welcoming….

Charming 1860 Victorian home- renovated yet kept much of the original charm. Gourmet kitchen and Terry is a great cook. Breakfasts were to die for. Living room was cozy and very well-decorated. Don and Terry were delightful hosts and quickly made you feel at home with family!

Train was a little noisy
