Once again, it's been a delightful treat to enjoy your hospitality. Stepping Stones was the one "Special Destination" I wanted to share with my California friend. -- Gail E., MA

Dear Ann, This is truly a retreat for me. Never have I been in a place where there is so much care over every detail of the visit. The breakfast is beautiful and extra special, the artistry everywhere you look is awesome, and the congeniality is for everyone. -- Betty C, NH

This is one of my favorite places on earth. Stunning gardens and a peaceful antique home, delicious breakfast, what more could one want. It's always nice to see you, too, Ann. Wish we were neighbors. -- Carol K., MA

Ann, Each time that I stay here it is a magical experience, so comfortable, delicious food and good company. Many thanks. -- Pam G, VT

An inviting and restful haven, enlivened by informal and gracious conversation. -- Alexa S & Tory N, Washington, DC

We had a great time and so did our yellow lab Cooper. Thanks so much for your warm hospitality!-- Jill & Jeff H., Wilmington, DE

I couldn't have asked for a lovelier time -- the beautiful snowfall completed our fantasyland stay. Thank you so much for the peace and quiet -- and the big funny dogs. This is an extraordinary refuge from the city. -- Amy P. & Jim W., New York City

Every nook and cranny of your home is a wonderful place to be. It's so nice and quiet here; what a wonderful place to unwind. Thank you for an outstanding stay. Your home is beautiful.-- Maryann K., Lexington, MA

My favorite B&B -- it's the garden, the lovely rooms, and the company (animal and human!). -- Peter S., Housatonic, MA

What a place to spend some time on our honeymoon! As Anita told us, it is a "step back in time!" Thanks for being so gracious and lovely.-- Dan & Nancy C., W. Boylston, MA

A very delightful stay -- a most beautiful home and garden..As a guy who travels at least in part "on his stomach," I must say that the breakfasts were bountiful and delicious. Your French toast rates a "10" or "5-star", the poached eggs Claudoise certainly the same, but the warmth, the hospitality, the conversations, the home and gardens all go "through the roof." Many, many thanks, we wish we could stay longer. Will see you again, SOON! -- Roberta and Jerry M., McKain, VA

I have been to many beautiful spots in England and the States, but I don't believe there is any place more healing and welcoming than "Stepping Stones." I am so grateful. Thank you Ann for your welcoming. -- Linda G., Vinalhaven, ME

I never expected it to be as beautiful when I spoke to you on the telephone from England. We will certainly be back in the future. -- Jackie and Anne F., Bainby Dun, U.K.

Thanks for your wonderful hospitality (and cooking!). I enjoyed my stay at Stepping Stones immensely, and look forward to the next opportunity to visit you... -- Joh M., Poway, CA

You have a beautiful home. Your gardens were absolutely spectacular. Julie and myself really had a nice time. Thank you for making my first bed and breakfast a magical experience. We also loved your cats and dogs. -- Brian and Julie T., Winston-Salem, NC

I will give you my most meaningful comment about my stay here. (I'll not mention the friendliness of dogs, the orange-spice fragrance of the house, the special collection of readings in which I could lose myself on every hand, the special relaxed silence of a fall night here, the scrumptious breakfast delights, or even the engaging stories and listening ear you share.) I'll just say: I enjoyed myself! -- Jim B, Amherst, MA

Thanks for a warm, relaxed weekend. It was just too short!! I hope we are able to visit again soon! I know my daughter and her friend loved their room, the hot cocoa and your dogs. Thanks! -- Steve, Denise, Rebecca and Chrissey, Foxboro, MA

A stroll up Pack Monadnock, a day trip to Peterborough, and two sumptuous breakfasts! Wonderful for mental health! Perhaps we'll saunter through the garden or to the waterfall this morning. Our first experience with a B&B has been delightful! -- Matt W., Boston, MA

Ann, your establishment is a hidden gem in the woods! Thanks for your sparkling hospitality and tasty food! I'll bring my husband in the fall! -- Patricia Z., N. Bellmore, NY

The skiing was super. The breakfast was great. The stay (once again) was super also. Thanks! -- Jim F., Boston, MA

Our heartfelt thanks for making us feel at home. Thanks for homemade goodies -- what a treat. -- The Smiths, Tyler, Kathy, Alyssa & Kierstyn
PS from Alyssa -- Your cooking is great! I like your pets. Your gardens are cool! Kierstyn, Dad and I played hide and seek in the garden. I like how your rooms are springy. I hope we get to come back. Love, Alyssa

Great food, bird watching on a lazy rainy weekend, a beautiful home and meeting you! It really blows away any other bed and breakfast that I've been to. You and your cookies are the best! Thank you. -- Jeff (and Paige) B.

You certainly are one of "New England's treasures"! Thank you for welcoming us! -- Bethany C.

Same time, next year, if not sooner, I hope? Best B&B ever, with a book collection browse forever, happy pets, down pillows -- I never want to leave! -- Peigi C., Oakland, CA
