OUR GUESTS SAY:

"Thank you for the warmth of a New England home and welcome in the clear delights of winter sun and snow." Richard K., Aranda, Australia

"This is a great place to stay and experience the hospitality of the owner/hostess as well as the photography, architecture, and cats. The history of the B&B is obvious in its architecture, but the history of the '70s is also there to revisit in the photography throughout the house. We have new memories from our stay at the Lathrop House, and a new friend, both of which enrich our lives... Thank you, Diana, for making us feel so at home, and so at peace."
