Longing for Home

Longing for Home is a country inn surrounded by 15 wooded acres, allowing you to experience the beauties of nature while enjoying the trappings of elegance from an age long past. With a peaceful "state of mind", our bed and breakfast provides a "place of grace" and "way of life" where you can catch up, unwind from today's rapid pace of life, reconnect with those you love, and recharge your batteries.

Choose from among three spacious, private, and romantic guestrooms for your lodging accommodations: Sunshine Daydreams, Country Graces, and Simple Pleasures. To make your stay with us special, each accommodation is filled with the amenities from which dreams are made. There is, truly, something special about each of our rooms: a private balcony, a fireplace, an antique claw-foot tub, a Jacuzzi tub, a "Greek soaking tub", tall ceilings, and views from every window. For the adventurous, there is also The Sleeping Porch that brings you closer to the stars at night and the music of nature as you awake.

Regardless of which accommodation draws you to Longing For Home, there is always a special treat awaiting your arrival - look for it when you enter your room.
