TGIF - B&B staycations

I meant for this Ritz and Rave to be posted much earlier, so that all of you good folk have a chance to book your staycations or at least browse but I had a date with my precious niece...
Polka Fist  :)
Ok... Focus!!!
So with this beautiful weather outside, bright foliage, fall festivals happening all around, why not escape to a local Bed & Breakfast to soak up the warmth of the autumn.  Here is a quick review or our favorite.

Hollerstown Hill B&B, Frederick MD (http://www.hollerstownhill.com/)

Raves:  Betty and Phil - the most gracious and nicest innkeepers that will entertain you with all kinds of stories, Betty's casseroles, charming breakfast table setting, beautiful historically restored house, amazing plumbing system that will put modern hotels to shame, little details in every room, Cottage Garden room - private bath and porch, far enough from the downtown Frederick to avoid the noise, WiFi - because we need to blog :)

Rants:  Betty's collection of dolls (I like dolls just not in those quantities), dark interior - the rooms are a bit dark which makes it hard for us girls to freshen up, NOT walking distance from downtown Frederick - despite what the website says, and sorry to say but get the coffee out of Keurig machine unless you prefer coffee flavored hot water.

Hope you get to explore your part of town this fall season.  As always, I would love to get more suggestions on all your Ritz and Raves :)
