A lovely review for such an eloquent experience.

I loved the history of the building, how accommodating the owners were, the tour of the building, the hospitality, the beautiful light fixtures, the stained glass, the architecture of the house itself...and the breakfast was just beautiful. The complimentary pastries, and the wine and various sodas made the experience so much more personable...and the owners are just lovely people. Very helpful, very courteous, respectful, and kind. You helped make my 34th birthday special, and I loved waking up and feeling like a princess for the day. Thank you so much! Also, now that I know it is family oriented, and safe...I would love to come back and have my daughter experience the magic of the stay. You were wonderful hosts!! I just dealt with some deaths in my family, and had been sick due to colitis...lost my brother in law to cancer, and my high school sweetheart two days before Christmas. I really needed this..it was the break that we so needed! We really appreciated everything! And Gloria was a treat as well 😀❤️‍🩹

There wasn't a thing that I didn't like. It was very eloquent, and just a very serene experience. You both did a wonderful job! Thank you so much, again!!

Loved that old house.

They were very nice and I loved hearing about the history of the house. The food was very good!!!! We were very shocked when we pulled up to the front of the house. Needing lots of work, but the inside was awesome. It is a vintage house! The furniture is so cool. They have done a great job decorating the house! The bed was comfortable. We will go back again!

Hopefully the outside will be improved soon. Looking at the place from outside before checking in makes you think (What the hack did I do)!

Great Stay

This stay was very unique for us. We enjoyed the ornate furnishings and detailed wood work throughout the home. When we arrived we were given a short tour and shown to our room. There were complimentary cookies and coffee cake as well as soda not to mention the delicious breakfast that was served in the morning.

The place could of been a bit more clean but not a deal breaker for visiting again. Some rooms share a bathroom which was diffrent for us. Only a slight inconvenience.

A diamond in the rough

Excellent meal, friendly owners and staff. Everything was fully functional and comfortable. Nice extras such as cookies and beverages available. Pet friendly which was really important to us. A park less than a block away to walk our German Shepherd. Highly recommend for families with pets, great value if you're willing to look past the exterior construction which is expected since this house is over 100 years old and absolutely a vintage beauty.

None that I can think of since my expectations were exceeded. Maybe a discount for purchasing the coffee mug, haha.

Fun, cozy, and historic.

Very classy historic house. The breakfast was nicely prepared by our host and was very good. The bedroom was well decorated, clean, and well accommodated. The fireplaces had wood in them and were ready to be used. The bed was super comfortable.

Nothing. Our stay exceeded our expectations.

A remarkable building with a truly lovely interior - the staff were gracious.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The building interior offers a remarkable step back in time. The staff offered a brief tour and offered to make coffee for me at 4:30am since I had to make an early departure. The cakes, cookies and complimentary beverages were appreciated. The room was clean, organized and the upstairs guests were quiet.

I would like to have stayed longer to enjoy the full breakfast -- however, I had to make a 5:30am appointment. I hope to return in the near future with friends.

It was original and unique.

It was a lovely home with beautiful furnishings, but there were some areas of the home that were not very organized and a bit cluttered with storage items.

There were some renovations going on and parts of the house were covered in plastic.
