Such a beautiful place and an amazing inn keeper. We had the ellicott room with the jacuzzi tub and fireplace, and it was very romantic and phenomenal. The food was outstanding too, very delicious and flavorful. We would love to go again and see it in the spring too. Thank You Joe!

The photos and descriptions do NOT represent the present state of this property! The grounds have not been attended to and much work is needed on the exterior of the house. The inside common rooms are junky with a combination of period and modern furniture. A modern couch was missing it's back cushions. The kitchen is in need of an upgrade. The proprietor, Joe, is the only employee. He met us at the door wearing ruffled clothing and yellow Crocs. He didn't really say any welcoming phrases. Our terrace room downstairs was dark and dreary. There's no furniture to store clothing except a closet for our hanging bag. The bathroom was fine, but the temperature was freezing. There's a note on the thermostat asking that it not be changed. Thank goodness this was only a one night stay on our way farther north. Otherwise, we probably would have shortened our stay. The only compliment I can give is that the breakfast was pretty good. A note to the owners: PLEASE invest some money for an overhaul!

So disappointing, nice location and property that needs attention. Stayed on "first floor" i.e. the basement. Walkway had 6 out of 10 lights out. Gardens are weeds. US flags, from July 4?, are disgraceful lying in the dirt walkway. Outdoor setting cushions are disgusting. Shower in dire need of mold removal. Sheets are "historic" i.e. very worn. Room needs DEEP clean. Breakfast was ok. Host was affable.

First and foremost, I am grateful that the innkeeper (I believe he goes by Joe) was so accommodating to my breakfast needs. I told him that I don't like sweet in the morning so he came up with a tasty savory breakfast of fried egg on toast, a cheesy casserole and bacon and sausage. I was happy to eat that both mornings we were there. The house itself is old (historic) so the large stairs are super creaky, but we stayed in the Betty suite on the top floor, where it was quietest. [This is not a house for people who have trouble with stairs.] I will say that the outside could use some attention; it looked a little unkempt. And yes the water during my shower suddenly got hot and then cold--understandable in an old house. However, overall the place was interesting and our bedroom "suite" was roomy. I didn't mind that we had to walk out of the room to get to our private bathroom, because a robe was provided. On the first night I thought the bed was a little too soft (personal preference) but on the second night it felt wonderfully comfortable. The temperature of the room was perfect also. I gather that Joe is a newer owner of the Inn and it is clear that he cares about the people who stay here!

Location was reason for our 3-night stay, minutes from the event we were attending. The place definitely needs some TLC. Dead plants in planters on windowsills, decor had dusty, indiscriminate knick knacks, and the landscaping and grounds were unkempt, run down - not welcoming. Breakfast, which was good, was the same each day. Bed was comfortable, but when I looked for an outlet nearby to charge my phone, the floor near the headboard was very dirty.

Had a wonderful one-year dating anniversary stay with my partner. The owner, Joe, was very responsive to emailed questions before the stay. I booked Betty's Suite but Joe upgraded us for free to the Banneker Suite due to some lack of clarity on the website. Joe was flexible with check-in time, and efficient and friendly in getting us settled. Room was beautiful. Spacious and luxurious bathroom - LOVED the jetted tub. Mattress too firm for us, but we're very young compared to probably most people who stay in B&B's so we get it. Stairs creak super loudly so you can hear whenever people are going up or downstairs, but it is historic so what can you do. Joe cooked a really nice breakfast and kindly took many indoor and outdoor photos of us. Loved the stay, would visit again. Worth noting that we are a couple of two women and we felt perfectly welcome.

I booked a room couple months in advance. However, when it was getting close the the date I booked, they sent me a cancellation notice without any explanation. I booked the room early on just so that I could make sure I will be able to have a place to stay. But, with their cancellation, I had to find a hotel room in a rush. Obviously, I will have to pay a higher price. Also, that made it so stressful for me. Anyway, with this experience, I highly recommend not to use this hotel. I totally recommend to say NO to this hotel.

The place feels like a home away from home. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Our room is nice and clean but needs a little refreshing. Breakfast is delicious. They were very accommodating to our needs throughout the stays and with visitors.

Overall, I think it's just a difference in decor preferebce-----the photos reflect a serene, calm, classy, elegant style for this INN. Reality is that this place "could be" and "may have been" all these things at one time, but now the overall look and feel of the house/rooms is one of clutter and chaos and knick-knacks.....a jumble of confusing items....Christmas decorations (left over in JUN.....or maybe early?).....stuffed animals, doilies, odd esthetics....as soon as I walked through the main entrance into the hall/lobby....I knew I wasn't going to be happy----clutter......overstimulating, not organized or streamlined...just......yuck.....if I thought I could get a refund on my $280 at that point, I would have most definitely bailed. The room had way too many pieces of chunky furniture in it.. and I felt the need to dust the furniture and scour the bathroom before I felt comfortable to stay......I know that sounds crazy, but that was the vibe......it's disappointing too because the house has really great bones....and the place could be a 5-star venue.......but right now, I just felt extremely unsettled there. There was a patio and a deck and porch furniture, but you couldn't really utilize those areas well because the cushions on the chairs were wet (rains a lot in that area, but what effort would it take to bring the cushions in if rain is forecasted?) and the chairs that didn't have wet cushions had bird poop on them..... The bed was very nice and the sheets were GREAT! But even the comforters/blankets were overly busy with a mix-match of design/fabrics..............I guess I just like clean lines and calm, soothing environments.....not confusing clutter. The workers/owners seemed kind enough.....the breakfast was nice. I think the owners may live there, so there is a bit of a conflict between....it being their home......and then being an INN......Of all the many reviews I see here of this INN, I seem to be in the minority with my feelings.......must just be a preference of mine to not appreciate the visual distraction of incongruent random items. Get rid of 1/2 the furniture and all the knick-knacks and you'd have a much more pleasing environment, in my opinion. They had a large kurig-type coffee machine on the 2nd floor.......but when we went to get coffee at 9am, there were no clean mugs (3 dirty ones) no spoons or stirrers.......just strange......coffee was served during breakfast, so that was appreciated.
