Could not have asked for more! Lovely quiet setting, with very loving crew of creatures great and small. Terri was a delight and served a full, fabulous breakfast. The place was in tip top shape.

Aurhentic farm experience

Terri (and Ralphie the cat) were exceptional. It felt like a true farm experience. We loved everything. The breakfast was excellent and mainly from the farm, Terri is so kind and always quick with a joke. And we wrre glad we rememebred our rubber boots. Terri gave us an amazing tour of the farm and meeting the animals.

This was our first stay at a B&B. The owner was very hospitable. Our room was quaint and the bed was comfortable. The over all country charm was very nice. Breakfast was served at a time of our choosing. Would consider staying again.

Off the beaten path but worth finding

Very nice, clean, friendly place. The Innkeeper, Terri, was charming and gave us great advice about places to go and, especially, good places to eat. She also prepares a great breakfast herself. The B and B is on a working farm, which we found interesting. A little out of the way, but worth it.

My only regret about choosing this stay was how far out of the way it was. The host was very nice and I loved getting to hang out with her cats and dog. The property was clean, quiet, and comfortable.

We have a lovely stay and Terri’s breakfast was amazing. The farm was picturesque. The hostess is such fun to chat with and makes you feel right at home. Book directly if you can, it’s a small business. We will be back.

Terri was warm welcoming as was her home. Our room was lovely and clean with a comfy bed. An upstairs sitting area offered a fridge and coffee/tea maker. A delicious hearty breakfast with French press coffee got our day started. This is a charming old farmhouse off the beaten path with beautiful lake views.

If you like antiques and farm animals, this is the place for you! Lovely breakfast and great conversation. Only catch was we had to pay in cash, which we didn’t know ahead of time. Check in was 5:30 pm which is kind of late.

We had a wonderful stay at See Weed and Sod B&B! Terri, our host, went above and beyond with her warm hospitality, making us feel instantly at home. Each morning, she treated us to a delightful, homestyle breakfast that was both hearty and delicious—a perfect way to start our day. The time spent with the animals made our stay even more memorable. Ralfie the cat was such a joy, Chewy’s friendly nature brightened our days, Fauna the farm dog was a lovely companion, and meeting Lady, the beautiful horse, was truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming experience. Thank you, Terri, Ralfie, Chewy, Fauna, and Lady, for making our stay unforgettable!

4/10 Fair

The bed and breakfast was not as advertised. When you book, you are booking the family suite which includes the two bedrooms. Upon arrival, I was charged an additional $25 in order to use the second bedroom. This is not acceptable and is a bait and switch. The second issue is that when they say "pet friendly", they mean that they themselves have a cat on the property that is allowed in the bed and breakfast. Even after we mentioned we don't like cats, the cat remained in our space. While the rooms are comfortable and mostly clean, there were cobwebs. The area around the house is very messy as another reviewer mentioned. It was not the picturesque location advertised.
