Be sure to check if they have central air if you are sensitive to the warmer months of the seasons. But I enjoyed the authentic feel of the area, the vibe was considerate and American. Its a great stay if you have hobbies like puzzels or sewing from which to wind down the day in the living areas of the mansion. A real treat to checkout with loved ones!

A brilliant place to stay, very friendly staff and a brilliant breakfast. We took the attic room as a family of 4 and it was just what we needed as a stop as part of a road trip.

We will definitely be back!!!

This was one of the best bed and breakfast we have stayed at! They were completely accommodating when our room was a little warm! They brought us a fan and we had the ac by bed time! The breakfast was so good and they catered to me with no eating meat which I greatly appreciate! It was lots of things to choose from and we had an intimate table for us to dine at. The room was so comfortable and huge! The bed was awesome and it was so quiet! The area is amazing and please visit Bortell’s fish market for lunch or dinner

Nice location and clean. Beware the beds are really soft and the pillows over stuffed. It was tough to sleep in such a great location because we were used to firmer beds and softer pillows. BUT WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN.

What a beautiful Victorian home. Very welcoming. Snacks and coffee were available downstairs. I was given a free upgrade to room #3 with a fantastic king bed and fireplace. There were great big towels, lots of hot water and great pillows. This property is in within walking distance of downtown right on the main street. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a really neat vintage Victorian home.

Great location

We had a great stay. Our room was large and comfortable. It was a little odd that we never spoke to anyone, but I have never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before. The bathroom was interesting, but i really liked it. It was very convenient to downtown as it was NYE and that was what we were looking for.
