“A charming owner-managed B&B brimming with character and history. Each room is individually styled but the best have exposed beams, fireplaces, and wooden floors. Be greeted with cookies on arrival and enjoy homemade breakfasts in the pretty dining room. Perfect for a quiet weekend getaway.”

The Lightner Farmhouse

The inn, situated on 15 acres, was used as a hospital for Union soldiers. Appropriately, the hostess has a master’s degree in American history.
