We are in our 70s and have been running our B&B for 25 years. Sharyn is a retired nurse and Butch a retired house painter. We are animal lovers and have two small dogs and a very friendly cat. We are parents of three children who have blessed us with 8 grandchildren. Our hobbies are gardening and recently travel. We do the old fashioned B&B cooked breakfast and enjoy the conversation around the breakfast table with all the guests. Butch is the cook and goes great eggs. You are welcome in to join us for a chat at anytime. We respect your privacy if that is what you like. We just hope that you feel at home
