Verlyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The breakfast was good. The outside of the house is terrible. The interior needs lots of TLC.
Marcia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Historic mansion that is in the process of being restored and initial look was questionable. Inside the house is beautiful. Breakfast was great as the host is a great cook. I would stay here again but it was difficult for a senior citizen to negotiate the many stairs as we were assigned to top floor 3.
DONALD, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great breakfast, Good value, Marginal facilities.

Great breakfast, Friendly staff, Good value, Marginal facilities. Our sinuses became congested in the library. We do realize that it is an old house. Renovation has a long way to go.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The outside is under renovation, but still the house is stunning! Walking inside is like stepping back in time with the care the owners have taken to have antique pieces, beautiful stained glass, gorgeous wallpapers and pictures of the original family. And the rooms are big with a beautiful antique bed that was very comfortable! And a working fireplace in our room! Breakfast was wonderful. So happy we found this treasure.
