The house was very nice and clean and safe for me and my daughter during our stay. It was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the area and pricing is very competitive with hotels in the area.

Overnight Visit
Shane was a gracious host and shared a bit of the history of the house. It's a good restoration, retaining the mid-Victorian charm. Bed was firm and comfy. Variety of options for breakfast. Google Maps got me here without any trouble. I was just in town overnight for work, and found this place to be an excellent deal. I'd return for a weekend with the family.

This place was absolutely stunning. Definitely the Victorian-style bed and breakfast we were looking for. We found this last minute on the same day we needed the room for and they totally delivered. Shane was great at communicating the whole time even considering the last minute booking. Great breakfast options, everything was either grab and go or low effort make-it-yourself. The property is so beautiful, I hope we will be able to make it back someday to stay for a longer period of time. 10/10 would recommend!

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay and friendly conversations we were dropping our son off at college.
This is such a beautiful house and we would definitely come back. Hosts are excellent, everything was clean, and our stay was fabulous.

Wonderful gem
Highland B&B was beyond my highest expectations. Shane is not only a gracious host but an historian knowing all about the building and the area. Tons of different breakfast options and the rooms are all so different and full of character. The porch is wonderful in nice weather for morning coffee (also provided). Highly recommended and I can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed the rustic character of the old structure at Highland. The host was very helpful and the room was private and very clean. Some of the floors were slightly cold due to the January weather but otherwise everything was great!

We'd usually stayed a local motels just for the convenience, but those were unexpectedly out of our price range this time, so we were delighted to find this B&B in a historic home, in the neighborhood where one of us had grown up. Being in town made it more convenient than the motels which are near the interstate west of town. We worried about a shared rather than a private bath, but there was no problem as there was only one other bedroom occupied and our schedules did not "collide."

Great stay - Again
Once again Shane and his staff exceeded my expectation of my stay at the Highland B&B in Meadville, PA. This quant and warm inn is just what you’re looking for if you would rather stay in something more relaxing than a hotel. Check out the Highland B&B. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is a little gem. The owners did a wonderful job restoring this 170 year old house and the attention to detail is unparalleled. There's a couple serving breakfast in the morning and they were so nice asking what we wanted and cooking it and bringing it to the table. I'll definitely recommend to all our friends.
