My wife and I have been at this place at least seven or eight times the past several years. Peggy and Monta are such gracious and warm innkeepers. We always feel like royalty and family when we arrive. It is so good to walk in and see smiling faces and being called by our names. They know we love our... More

The Laurel Oak Inn is one of my favorite B&Bs anywhere.

My wife's favorite room is the Lily, but every room has special charms. What a treat this place is. More

The owners take pride in the inn and going out of their way to help their guests. The sound of running water in the morning might wake light sleepers but... More
