About.com Review::

About.com's Guide for New England Travel visited Wildflower Inn her two-year-old and loved the place: "If my two-year-old could design a B&B--and she does believe she controls the universe--she would conjure up just such a place, where sheep "baa" hello, cows "moo" goodnight, a toy- and book-filled playroom boasts spectacular mountain views and Mommy and Daddy feel so relaxed that they don't fret when you only eat the chocolate chips on your teddy bear pancakes."
