We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a cheese and meat tray, and Alfred was eager to do whatever he could to make our stay pleasant. Even though he no longer makes pie, the upgrade from small apartment B&B to the whole house with a kitchen was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was not included, but he offered to make breakfast for $15 each if we wanted. We made our own, it was great. ##### tina g.

We felt very lucky to stay with Alfred at his very cute, and comfortable B&B! The pictures just don’t do this hidden gem justice! Alfred is such a wonderful host making sure we were comfortable and that we didn’t need anything. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and its history which we love to hear about! Alfred is a wonderful personable gentleman. We left feeling like we made a new friend. The bed and living room armchairs were perfect and the large bathroom was great! We put to use the refrigerator and microwave and were very happy to have them. The location is centrally located to many things and destinations but especially Crystal Mountain, 2 minutes away.! So this is the perfect place to relax after hiking golfing or skiing or for letting the kiddies safely run around the acreage but still within sight. We absolutely loved the spacious property with the privacy. There’s even frisbee golf on the property that I had a hard time walking away from! Thank you and hope to see you again soon, Alfred!

The pictures online did not give it enough credit. First - we had an entire apartment with a private entrance and deck. The bathroom was huge and all rooms were wonderful. Living room had comfy chairs and tables and TV for relaxations . Alfred is just amazing- he really is a wonderful host. We arrived late because of a cancelled flight. He immediately helped out & provided a nourishing breakfast for our entire family . Also awaiting was wine & snacks to pick on. The wine was so wonderful- we purchased another bottle to bring home. The grounds are huge and so private. It was so nice and quiet that I slept wonderful. The bed was super soft and just the entire atmosphere made us feel like we were home. We almost had a car rental crisis- and again Alfred stepped in and solved our problem. And take all his suggestions on restaurants and hikes and anything to do. He will give great advice. Everywhere he sent us was fantastic. There was not one negative part of our entire trip. He is such a delightful person to talk to. Great environment for any single couple or family. He really made our trip special. ##### Dolfina A.
