Y'know what's really cool about Sheevy's? It's not your typical cookie-cutter B&B. This place has serious character - I'm talking about a charming spot that perfectly balances that cozy home-away-from-home feeling with just enough luxury to make you feel spoiled. The moment you walk in, you'll notice how the historic building has kept its original charm while getting all the modern updates that actually matter.
The on-site bar and grill? Absolute game-changer. Trust me, after trying their homemade breakfast (those buttermilk pancakes are insane), you'll understand why locals keep coming back. And don't even get me started on their dinner menu - it's the kind of comfort food that makes you want to skip the fancy restaurants downtown.

Best Time to Visit
I gotta tell ya, each season brings something special to Sheevy's, but fall is when this place really shines. The gardens put on their best show with rich autumn colors, and the fireplace in the common room becomes everyone's favorite spot. Plus, the chef does this amazing spiced apple cider that'll warm you right up.
Summer's pretty fantastic too - the garden is in full bloom and perfect for afternoon tea. Spring brings mild temperatures and fewer crowds, while winter transforms the place into a cozy retreat. But here's a pro tip: book well in advance for October weekends - that's when everyone wants to experience the fall magic.
How to Get There
Getting to Sheevy's is pretty straightforward, whether you're driving or using public transport. If you're coming by car, you'll find plenty of free parking on-site (a real blessing in this area). For those flying in, the nearest airport is about 45 minutes away, and you can grab either a taxi or rideshare service. Some guests prefer taking the train - the station's just a 10-minute drive, and Sheevy's can arrange pickup if you give them a heads up.
Tips for Visiting
Listen, I've stayed at my fair share of B&Bs, and there are a few things that'll make your stay at Sheevy's extra special. First off, don't skip breakfast - seriously, it's worth setting an alarm for. The chef's specialties rotate daily, and you'll kick yourself if you miss out on the Belgian waffles.
Try to spend at least one evening at the bar and grill - it's where all the best local stories get shared. The bartender, Mike, knows everyone and makes a mean Old Fashioned. Oh, and if you're into photography, the gardens are gorgeous during golden hour.
Make sure to let them know about any dietary restrictions when you book - they're super accommodating but appreciate the heads-up. And if you're celebrating something special, mention it! They love making occasions memorable with little touches that'll make you feel extra special.
The rooms on the garden side are quieter, but the street-side ones have these amazing bay windows perfect for people-watching. And don't be shy about asking for local recommendations - the staff really knows their stuff and can point you to some hidden gems that you won't find in any guidebook.
Remember to check their events calendar too - they sometimes host wine tastings and local music nights that are totally worth planning your stay around. And if you're bringing your four-legged friend, request one of the pet-friendly rooms early - they tend to book up fast.
One last thing - take some time to just chill in the garden. I know it sounds simple, but there's something magical about sipping your morning coffee surrounded by all that greenery. Brings a whole new meaning to "stopping to smell the roses."
