A must for all history buffs! Amazing staff and very relaxing

What a gem! We loved sitting by the fire in the dining room for a leisurely coffee and breakfast. The Inn keeper and owner were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. It’s a beautiful property and I’m thrilled that I discovered it on Expedia!

The owner is in the process of of restoring this beautiful property. He and his innkeeper, Rosy were very pleasant and willing to serve in any way to make my stay memorable. They have just renovated some of the lovely suites and continue to add amenities. The great room and fireplace are amazing. I'll be back.

While staff was friendly and they did have packaged instant oatmeal, I had trouble from check in when owners car was blocking driveway, then charge card machine would not work. Mansion is being converted from a nursing home into B&B and it showed. Door to toilet stuck, heating was a small plug into wall. Shower across the hall and ran out of hot water in 4 minutes. Main staff person did not know how to work AV equipment-- DVD and video player with projector. Baked goods at breakfast were heated from Pillsbury like dough. No tidying of room during my 2 night stay and I noticed carpet had not been well cleaned before I got there. Final insult was the day that I left I happened to wonder over into other wing and notice that it was well heated and rooms were done up much more nicely. For price I paid, I would have expected a higher quality breakfast and nicer room at the very least.

Actually, I thought it would be a cool thing to stay the night, and since it was only 2 miles from a late night concert that we would attend we went for it! At booking, I was under the impression that we would actually stay in one of the rooms inside the mansion, but that was not the case. Instead, we were offered a room in a building that was once a nursing home, which is an add-on attachment to the mansion. We were told that guess aren't allowed to stay in the Mansion. Had I known, I would have probably stayed somewhere else. Not much charm in the bedroom in which we lodged. Just a queen size bed and 1 full size bed, dresser, wooden student's chair and desk. We so wanted that "Bed & Breakfast" quaint looking room, but our room fell short of that. However, the facility is clean and well kept, but was a bit too creepy for us. We were the only guess and we didn't feel safe. The entrance door is around the corner from the mansion and you will be given the combination numbers to the key pad. After returning from the concert we decided not to stay, so I paid the expected nightly fee which came to $160.00 and left. Rosey is the one and only keeper and she wears many hats. I must add, Rosey is so sweet and nice and will go overboard to try and accommodate you. It is my understanding that they do have a security person there but we never saw him. In all due respect, I do not recommend this place. Nonetheless, if you like creepy and expensive then perhaps this is the place for you.
