Absolutely lovely property, conveniently located walking distance to downtown restaurants (though get ready for a little workout climbing back up the hill!) I was the only guest the night that I stayed, though the breakfast area was roomy enough for a full house. Simple breakfast fare done very, very well. Would definitely stay here again.

Highs for the 2 nights were high 80s and the air conditioner was gone for service. The ceiling fan only had a low speed. Had the 2 windows open but didn’t get much sleep due to the heat factor on the second floor. We were told to just open the windows it gets down to 55.

It was beautifully decorated. The exhaust fan light in our bathroom had a lot of dead bugs in it. We needed to leave before the 8:30 breakfast time. So we asked if they had a continental breakfast, but said no. We didn't feel they were very accommodating.

Our first experience with B&B

It was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast! It did not disappoint! Beautiful home, so much charm and character comes through every inch of this home. Our room had a king size bed that was truly just as comfortable as our bed at home! The homemade breakfast was a 10/10. We enjoyed sitting around the dining table with the other guest, talking about life and travel. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we plan to stay again.

Almost superb.

Excellent bed in a beautifully decorated room. Generous breakfast, but nothing special or interesting. The hosts have spent 8 years thoroughly rehabbing a magnificent 1880s mansion, adding thoroughly modern comfort and convenience while preserving every remarkable Victorian detail, and filling every room with wonderfully appropriate stuff from their antiques business. Suggestions: 1. Our room AC was in a window behind the the tall headboard of the bed. Too close to the ears of sleepers. It was set on “eco mode” so it cycled on and off every few minutes. In that mode it could not cool this room adequately. Accessing the controls behind the headboard was difficult. This AC could be replaced with one that has a remote control. 2. A grab rail or two around the very spacious jetted tub might save someone a nasty slip and fall. 3. Prospective guests should be made aware that it is about 20 steps up from the street to the door, and then 17 more from the first floor to the second. 4. A water glass or two in the bathroom would have been appreciated.

Wonderful place to stay

This was our first stay at a B&B so we were not really sure what to expect. I have to say we were more than impressed! The Inn is large and gorgeous yet so cozy. The hosts were very welcoming. The room we rented was spacious and had super soft plush carpet, a fireplace, very comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. We were in walking distance to the festival we were in town attending. This inn is in walking distance to the downtown area where there are multiple dining options, little boutiques and the Mississippi river.

Warning: If you book this property, read the fine print. I didn’t realize there was no front desk and that you have to call 24 hours in advance for check in instructions. I called the day of my reservation, but got a voicemail. There was no one to talk to. I left a voicemail and messaged through the app but got no reply. 3 Expedia customer service reps tried to reach the property with no success. There was no way for me to check in for my reservation and I was out of town with nowhere to sleep. Thankfully, Expedia customer service was wonderful!! They refunded me and gave me $50 in Expedia credit, which was above and beyond, and I was able to get a room at the Hampton Inn. Trip saved!

Glad we discovered this gem. It was our first time at this classy inn in what appears to be a leafy uptown neighborhood within easy walking distance to a hip downtown area. Friendly co-owner, beds were comfy and the delicious breakfast was more than we could finish. I'm recommending this spot and looking forward to making a point of returning next time we're passing through!
