Reply to Rendleman Home B&B (Bluffton)

My husband and I had a fantastic time at Doug's place. We rode 71 miles that day and for the last 20 miles my husband was struggling with a slow leaking tire. Doug, who is an avid cyclist himself, keeps a small store of bicycle maintenance supplies. He had a tube that fit Craig's tire and got him all fixed up for the rest of our ride.

Doug cooked us up a delicious feast for dinner including grilled chicken, hamburgers, brats, spaghetti squash (the best I've ever had), potato salad, green salad and butternut squash soup. YUM!

That evening he kept a bonfire going and a friend stopped by with mandolins and guitars and we sat around the fire singing and playing (I'm a musician). What a great time!

Breakfast was thick slices of homemade French toast with molasses and strawberries. Everything Doug cooks is from scratch and usually grown in his garden. Very fresh and very delicious.

The best thing about Doug's place is that Doug really understands cycling. He cycles almost every day and uses the trail to go to the grocery store, the bike shop and almost everything else. His place is really more of a hostel for cyclists than a fancy B&B and Craig and I appreciated that very much. It is probably the best place along the entire trail for real cyclists who will enjoy Doug's cycling stories and personable character. He is a great host.

I enthusiastically recommend Rendleman home and Craig and I are coming back to stay again in October. We are definitely planning to become regulars at Rendleman and feel like we've made a good new friend. Thanks Doug!
