Abigail’s Bed and Breakfast

Abigail’s Bed and Breakfast is focused on providing luxury home style accommodations and a delicious hot breakfast in a spectacular mountain setting. Abigail’s is patterned after the old style English Bed and Breakfast where travelers were welcomed into the homes and cottages of towns people when few inns were available. The traveller would be given a room in the farm house or cottage and welcomed around the breakfast table the next morning. Abigail’s is our home and our guests are treated like family in the old English tradition. The beds are comfortable; the atmosphere relaxed; the food gourmet and delicious. We welcome you into our home!
