“A New Bed and Breakfast Beyond Your Expectations!”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

My husband and I wanted to get away for a quiet weekend, and I found this B&B because I was looking for an inn that we could take our crate trained little dog. This had received many great reviews, and I did some homework on both the inn and the town. The reviews and pictures do not even compare to our experience. We showed up 2 hours early and were just planning to let them know we arrived. Joy said our room was ready and we could check in if we wanted(no extra charge, of course). She immediately gave us a tour of the inn as we were led to our rooms. We met her husband Allen, just as professional and hospitable as his wife, with great stories about amazing décor items they had purchased over the years during their travels. She showed us the individual rooms that were open as we walked by, each one, breathtakingly different and decorated with the highest quality décor and detail. When we saw our room, we knew this couple spared no expense in making sure each guest would have only the best experience possible. She asked if we would like a bottle of wine and a cheese plate later that evening when we settled in, asked what time we would want it, and if we wanted it in the room, or downstairs in the dining area that has a view that will take your breath away. This was our first 15 minute impression, and it only gets better. The wine and cheese were free( the site never mentions this service). Allen and Joy give you plenty of space and are completely unobtrusive and professional, but if you don’t try to get to know them, you will do yourself a great disservice. The rooms have the “little details” we don’t notice until you have them, like q-tips and cotton balls, or a designated black “makeup” washcloth(ladies, how many white towels do we ruin at hotels)? Breakfast comes free with the room rate also, and let me tell you…..a breakfast of the caliber Joy cooks would run you EASILY $50 at a nice city hotel, and not even taste as good. Homemade apple fritters with apricot syrup, homemade corned beef hash with potatoes and fruit, French pressed coffee, and juice squeezed to order. The aromas of her cooking in the morning fill the inn and wake you up excited to go downstairs! Did I say this is comes with the room rate?? The second morning, we had homemade quiche Lorraine and apple crumb cake. You can purchase dinner in advance(again, all homemade, that comes with an appetizer for both of you, salad, dinner, dessert, and a bottle of wine). It was simply outstanding, but it changes periodically what you can choose from so I want the reader to be surprised! We wanted another bottle of wine, she gave it to us, free. When we checked out, the total bill was $560, for two nights(weekend rate). That is all food, wine, room and our $50 dog fee. We left Joy and Allen a $140 as a tip, as they are also your serving staff. I am not saying this to brag about what we gave them for their hospitality. I am saying this because any couple who loves to get away and pamper themselves knows: you cannot eat four individual 5 star quality meals, have 3 bottles of wine, sleep in a room that has a fireplace & Jacuzzi, king size poster beds and down comforters, bring your dog, and walk away from that experience for less then $280 a night, without tip. If you can, please let me know where. Until then, you can here, at the Inn at Dresden. Joy and Allen, we are already planning our next visit and cannot wait to stay with you again. You both are truly wonderful inspirations for couples who want to own their own business, and you are single-handedly going to help revive the little town and change why people come there in the first place. And you have earned every bit of that recognition. Very well done, you two. Very Sincerely, Amy & Mark

Room Tip: We stayed in the Dresden, which pets are allowed due to access outside in the back for our dog. City..
