We were so glad we picked this Inn, it was perfect in every way, from the comfy bed, to the decor, to the wonderful breakfast. But most of all, Joanie, the host, was friendly, knowledgeable and told us so much about the area! We truly enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend it!

The house has the depth of history, a history of human spirit, the spirit of honor, service, kindness, and human heart to heart connection. My wife and I stayed for three days. We not only enjoyed physical comfort and relaxation, but also felt spiritually enriched as we saw the richly decorated house, heard many inspiring stories about the history of the people lived in the house and experienced the genuine care of the hostess. It’s a soul-touching experience indeed!

Absolutely charming!
What a treat it was to stay at the Hydrangea Inn. Joan was a gracious hostess who made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious and a great time to ask Joan questions about the area. She was a wealth of knowledge and an interesting lady? Oh, and the view of the bay was a bonus we didnt expect! We would certainly stay here again.

The most gracious host we have ever been blessed to meet. She doesn’t rent rooms, she honors and warms guests into her home. All the positive reviews are completely warranted. Incredible stay!
