Amazing stay at ForFriends Inn
If i could rate better than excellent, I would! Everything about ForFriends Inn was outstanding! Our room, the Buttonwood Suite, was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bed was a bit too soft for me but had comfortable bedding. We loved our little patio. The couch in front of the Franklin stove in the room, was comfortable and a great place to sit and relax (it was too hot to use the stove during our visit but it looked very cozy!) The bathroom was huge with a jacuzzi tub that I wish I had had a chance to use. Not only was it comfortable and relaxing but everything was sparkling clean! Breakfast was amazing! Everything was homemade and absolutely delicious. We left each morning full and happy! The charcuterie each evening was wondeful with a great selection of local wines to taste. Every night, delicious homemade cookies and a dessert wine greeted us at the end of our adventures. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. The owner, Dave, is very welcoming and has made a very relaxing, beautiful inn. The grounds are beautiful and offer many relaxing places to sit and enjoy, especially in the evening. The friendship pass that is included has 2 for 1 tastings at many local wineries and free desserts at some local restaurants. We felt so relaxed and at home during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back!

Great place to celebrate our anniversary:-)
Our room was exceptionally clean & comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and sparkling ( would’ve loved a bathtub). While a bit more expensive than we usually pay, the extras made it worth our while. We missed the evening wine event, but loved that we had 24 access to coffee, tea & cookies. Upon arrival, we are our picnic lunch in the garden. Very peaceful and romantic. The breakfast was fantastic. I loved sitting outside on the cozy rockers in the morning. Most of all the employees were very pleasant, helpful & friendly! We stayed in the Brick Barn room. The only drawbacks were the noise from the highway and the small parking area. although gated, when we arrived back late we had to park along the wall. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay!
