There are blogs upon blogs out there with tips to make travel less stressful. Google it and you’ll find them, but really, what can you do about the inevitable things that go wrong and people that disappoint? As Innkeepers of the Sheridan House Inn, most days you’ll find us serving our guests at this busy luxury B&B, but we recently got to do some traveling, both in the USA and outside our borders. We had the delightful experiences of flying, renting cars, figuring out what to do and where to eat, just like our guests do when they come here.
And, let us tell you – it’s all so challenging, exhausting and stressful. We dealt with delayed flights, rude or non-existent customer service people (not to mention just dealing with others who are traveling), family emergencies, weather challenges, road construction, long lines & getting in wrong lines, all the work to do to leave and again when back home, and more. There were moments in each trip we wondered if leaving home is even worth it. However, more often than that, we thought of the people who come through our doors as our guests, and the equally difficult time they have just to get here to be those guests of the Sheridan House. We salute each one of them for what they endured just to get here. This realization has made us now more committed than ever to be a different kind travel business, one that instead de-stresses you, a place where you know you are cared for, where the details matter, and where you leave better than you arrived! Our forested locale alone will begin that process, but it is the unparalleled hospitality of Team Sheridan that also brings guests back over and over, and is now winning us accolades. It’s always been what we strive for, and we are now more committed to making treasured memories for all who come here.

My wife Denise and I stayed at The Sheridan House Inn in the Sycamore room for two nights, we did not know much about the place as our friends had taken care of the reservation. The Inn nested on a hill and hidden among trees was totally unexpected since we thought we were in a desert town. The location is spectacular and the accommodations impeccable, but what is even more unbelievable is the friendliness and the warm reception we received. It felt like we were visiting among long lost family. Now the breakfast provided by the Inn is something to see and is just so delicious. We were not able to try the dinner provided by the host but if the breakfast is any indication we sorely missed out. I am a coffee drinker and Mark introduce me to this incredible whiskey flavored coffee, the beans are dried in a used oak whiskey barrel. Not to forget the complementary bottle of wine and Debbie delicious homemade peanut butter cookies. I give this place a 5 stars rating and will definitely come back to visit and relax. Jack
