Ione was a very gracious host, providing a variety of fruits, biscuits, teas and coffee; not to mention advice and directions. She also offered to hold my bags after check out so I could explore sans luggage. The Stables are adorable and even better than pictured. The bed was firm but comfortable and the room is simply decorated. I'm glad I chose to stay at the Stables, even if only for one night. I would definitely return.
