"...AND BREAKFAST is to die for!! Even if you don't need to get away, go stay one night at Carlisle House just for the FOOD!!!!! I have never eaten such deliciousness ever. We've stayed in more expensive places and received less service and terrible food. Alan and Mary make every experience at their inn a special one." TripAdvisor Review ITALIAN VEGETARIAN QUICHE
