"Sparkles with hospitality" says Country Extra magazine of Dawn's five star hospitality. Guests rave about her pampering, attention to detail, accommodation for special diets, and her four and five diamond suggestions of top 10 dining picks, antiquing, biking, day trips, horse sleigh and carriage rides (35 minutes from inn), horse back riding stables, shopping,  spa choices, recipes, wedding planner. Dawn loves what she does. She gave up business administration and wanted a big house to do a Victorian B and B inn. Gary wanted a small cabin in the woods. Cameo Rose is "their" compromise. Meet your friendly innkeepers and sing along to Gary's rendition of "I Walk The Line."
