Historic Inn….perhaps a bit more trafficked than some of the others. I think if you get one of the more expensive rooms they are more spacious, in better shape and more private. It is a lovely old place but not designed to accommodate air conditioning and modern baths, so the updates—while fully acceptable—are kind of wonky. Unbeatable location. Helpful staff. Could be cleaner (Christmas decor still up on Feb 28, breakfast area floor in serious need of a cleaning).

I had an incredible stay at Eliza Thompson House! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The house is beautifully maintained, offering both charm and comfort. The daily breakfast, wine reception with hors d’oeuvres, and dessert were all exceptional. The location is perfect—conveniently close to everything, yet peaceful and serene. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable, with an impressive attention to detail. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning! Five stars all the way!

I didn't know all the history this B&B had, until it was mentioned on 2 tours we were on! Lovely, relaxing stay. As noted on the properties website, I believe,there are no elevator. Staff took our luggage to room. But be aware, if you have mobility issues this might not be the best choice for you. Staff and breakfast were outstanding!

We loved staying at the Eliza Thompson House! Everything was great! Especially the staff! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! We loved the rooms, the delicious breakfast, the cocktail hour (with various wine offerings and hors d’oeuvres) and an after dinner dessert hour! There is also coffee, tea, waters and sodas available all day long. We arrived the day after the snow storm, so we were not able to sit outside on the courtyard patio with fountain etc., but we could see how beautiful it would be! We will definitely return in nicer weather! So happy to have found this wonderful place!
