Every bed and breakfast is unique and reflects the personality of the owners.
Some B&B's are owner occupied, others just have an innkeeper.
The Yellow Turtle Inn is occupied by it owners and specializes in making you feel special.
At the Yellow Turtle Inn, we recognize that you are more than just a number.
My Guests
Some guests come and want to talk. Other guests come wishing to retreat alone or with someone and wish to be left alone.
For those of you wishing to be left alone together, I offer brunch delivered to your room or private seating in the Tea Room.
Those who wish to visit naturally seek each other out.
Grocery shopping just for you
Because I go shopping just for you, I like to know what you can eat.
When you make your reservation, I ask if you have any food allergies and if you are a vegatarian.
Your arrival time
Check in time is between 5 and 6PM
.It is a good idea to indicate your time of arrival so that someone is nearby to greet you. If you are going to be late or especially earlier than the check in time, other arrangements will need to be made for you. Please email or call me.Your name and receipt will be on your door and your room will be ready for you.
For your safety, we have surveillance cameras in public areas.
Advance reservations are required. We like to know our guests at the Yellow Turtle Inn.
What do I do once I get there?
Once you arrive and find your room, you are welcome to wander about the Inn and the grounds exploring. One of the nicest things about the Yellow Turtle Inn is that you have opportunity to just sit and not be expected to do anything. Just relax on the front porch and view the birds, squirrels and trees. Have time for a peaceful conversation.There are also books, journals and fascinating things to discover right here in the 'Turtle'.
With advance notice we can provide, on the premises, massages and various dinner selections.
Only one guest room is equipped with a TV.
All these things are done by design to get you to a place where you can slow down from your whirlwind life and the pressures of the outside world do not invade the peace inside the 'Turtle'.
We do have wireless internet connection available.
Complimentary Refreshments
In your room refrigerator, you will find a couple of complimentary sodas and bottled water just for you. You may bring your own wine and yes I have wine glasses and a cork screw for you.There are also refreshments in the dining room for you to help yourself.
Brunch
In the morning, I put coffee and muffins out by 9:30AM.
I have watched my guests' patterns here at the Turtle and have discovered that they like to sleep in! What a surprise. Well, so do I! So I moved breakfast from 9 AM to 10:30 AM and everyone is a whole lot happier!
Sometimes I have early morning people for whatever crazy reason. So I have a guest refrigerator for them to help themselves to their own breakfast and be on their way early.
Because our meals are prepared especially for each guest, you need to let me know before your arrival if you will be joining us for brunch.
Brunch is included in your room charge.
If you have friends that wish to join you for brunch, they certainly are invited to join us.
(charge $15pp)
Check out
Because I have a seven day cancellation policy I have already run your credit card before your arrival.
Your receipt will be on your door.
If you would like, I can email you a receipt when I charge your card. Please let me know.
So when you are ready, you can leave without a check out hassle.
Check out is not until 2PM, so once again you do not have to rush after brunch.
