Our recent press

"The Ritz-Carlton of B&Bs, this place is
among the most inviting in North America.

Steps from Yorkville, this three-room Victorian is an intimate respite from the sometimes maddeningly stylish environs. Walls are washed in serene shades of fawn and pewter gray, fine-china breakfasts are fortifying adventures, and, accommodatingly, hosts will be as coddling or laissez-faire as you wish."

 

"... A difficult place to leave."

 

"Wow! What a lovely place ..."

It's more like staying in your own home than a B&B ... Thanks for making us feel so at home. See you again!"

"It's like living in your own house: heaven. Some people love it so much they don't leave their rooms."

- Outpost magazine, March/April 2004.

"Forget cheap and cheerful: this is an exclusive pad with only two guest rooms, including a penthouse with its own deck. Everything, from the furnishings to the food, is top quality."
