Waterfront Ashland Home ~ 2 Mi to Downtown!

10/10 Excellent

"What a find! Such a charming and historical B&B. Glenn, Pam, and Ingrid were delightful and provided guidance on hiking and food options. The breakfast was outstanding! Lots of choices, all flawlessly cooked and curated by the team. Really appreciated the welcome home hospitality and kindness. Looking forward to another stay on my next visit to my daughter in college in nearby Plymouth. p.s. Loved the friendly Dalmatian while missing mine at home."

The cabins are great but could use some updating and a little more cooking staples. Newer owners will probably remedy as they are always looking to improve."
