Our Testimonials on the Aldrich Guest House
We hosted our women's yoga retreat at the Aldrich Guest House and we had a wonderful experience with our hosts, Douglas and Robert. Our rooms were ready in time, they moved furniture to accommodate our retreat hosting needs, answered all of our questions, and welcomed us as we arrived with a tour of history of the home and all the amenities for our stay.
Our retreat attenders raved about their experience as well. Rooms were cleaned daily if asked, amenities were provided in a timely manner, and our daily breakfasts were outstanding along with creative happy hour choices!
We truly appreciate their professionalism in making our retreat luxurious and a wonderful getaway for our attendees. They were there when needed and also were very respectful of giving us a quite space for our classes and stay. We also personally enjoyed the extra day before for some downtime before we guided the retreat for 8 women.
Thank you for all the love and care you put into your beautiful bed and breakfast. We are already planning our next visit!

Wonderful hosts, charming historic B&B
Just lovely…. Came with friends, hope to return with husband. The hosts are experienced in hotel management and their expertise shines throughout. They began with a history lesson of the Aldrich house that includes stays by both Lincoln and Grant. The house was impeccably cared for and the breakfasts were delicious. Happy hour on the porch was filled with great conversation. I recommend this highly!
