I generally agree with most of the other comments, but felt that the experience was more akin to an AirBnB experience than a traditional B&B experience. In other words, it felt more like a clean, comfortable place to crash for a night, rather than a special getaway.
Likes: Bev's warm and generous personality, spacious bedroom, and super clean home.
Dislikes: Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. on a weekend, Frank describing guests as "customers" (which seemed to be his attitude), sharing a bathroom, and lack of air conditioning.
Room Tip: There are only two guest rooms.

Normally we would not respond to a review, but thought this particular one
deserved a response. While many places might be a good place to “crash”
for a night with little expected in return, we offer quite a bit more for people
who are looking for a quiet, clean, relaxing place to stay and top it off with a
full cooked breakfast. We have many repeat “customers”, “guests” , “visitors”,
as the case may be. We have one couple who have been here 8 times because it
is their “special getaway” place.
Everything we offer is advertised in our brochures, in our advertising on the
internet , and in our correspondance with our guests so there should never
be any surprises about what we offer. We have a one seating breakfast at 8:00am
(Notice is posted in each room, and guests are informed about this when they arrive)
We also serve breakfast earlier when people have to catch a ferry, or early flight from Portland. Our guests often remark how clean and well kept our “shared” bath is that serves the two rooms on the second floor. Our lack of air conditioning for the small number of nights that it might be needed, didn’t cause much concern for the guests we’ve had from 26 states, and 7 countries. We are located on a tidal river, and with adequate cross ventilation (&/fans), and the cool breeze coming off the river, it is usually quite comfortable. Of course, the windows need to be open to enjoy this. We value all our past, present, and future guests and have always attempted to meet their needs and go above their expectations. We treat all our guests with respect and courtesy, and ask only that they do the same with our other guests that may be here, and us as well. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have visited us over the years.
