Originally 19th-century side-by-side homes of the Tabor family, this B&B embraces sustainability and community.

More eco-friendly practices here: cleaning products are 100 % biodegradeable, unbleached paper products are recycled and breakfast ingredients include herbs and vegetables from the on-site garden.
