Welcome!
A New Beginning to us means “Dreams do come true”. Owning a bed & breakfast has been a dream of ours for many years and when the opportunity presented itself we had to say yes and pursue our dream. Staying in various bed & breakfasts over the years along the eastern seaboard has allowed us to experience the art of inn keeping and gave us the dream that we could do this, too. As a guest of A New Beginning, we will make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Please join us for a part of the simple life.
Open Year Round!
