8/10 Good

It's a super old, very unique house. The bed was comfortable. My room only has a bathtub, no shower. The owners were super nice and breakfast was amazingly good. The neighborhood is a bit rundown and there is only street parking but there was plenty available.

The hosts at this bed and breakfast were excellent.
Andrew, 3-night trip

The building had awesome details. The man and lady were very knowledgeable about the house and nice. The building is showing its age a bit, but the bed was comfortable and breakfast was great

Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This house has so many amazing features and has all original woodwork, beautiful stained glass, fireplaces, lighting that has been converted to electric but the gas light chandeliers still are original and beautiful! The hosts are so very welcoming and very accommodating. It was a great experience and nice to get away from the typical hotel stay!
Krista, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It is a cool old house in a dramatic state of disrepair; tattered linens, stained carpets, roof panels missing. Towels were stained. The owners are very nice but I would not stay again.
Eleanor, 1-night trip

Beautiful. Historic, downtown, nearby hiking

Amazing stay. The Richards home is stunning, excellent thoughtful breakfast, lots of historic charm. we walked to downtown to check out nighttime dining and then the farmers market on Saturday morning. It’s all right there. Great hiking nearby too!!

The owners of this property are super cool. It is an old place so dont expect 2025 luxury but its definitely worth a stay. Brsakfast was great.
michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the inside decor. The beautiful wall coverings are nearly 90 percent original. The owners David and Michelle told us they are only the second family to own the property in over 100 years. They truly pampered us with a wonderful breakfast and gave us the full tour when we arrived. We loved it.
John, 1-night trip
