The hostess was friendly; made you feel welcome. Breakfast was delicious. History of the house and furnishings was set to time period and made you feel what it was like in the 1800's

Exceptionally accommodating staff in historic building, but remember that all rooms are on the second floor, reached only by a long and narrow staircase that limits access for mobility challenged senlors.

We gave Steamboat B & B a 5 star rating. Everything about Steamboat exceeded our very high expectations. We checked in shortly after 4 and were promptly and pleasantly greeted by Carol, the innkeeper. She was not overbearing but just the right amount of pleasantries. She gave us a quick tour then guided us to our fantastic room. Steamboat is immaculate with all the amenities, period furnishings and history we could ever ask for. The breakfast was incredible and the several daily snacks with wine, tea and coffee were unique. Carol even offered to drive us to town for dinner. Our stay was full of UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY!!!!

It's very quaint and comfortable and I liked the family-style breakfast in the morning as all of the guests were able to talk to each other. The host was also nice as well and I enjoyed the various activities (such as the morning coffee and evening wine cheese tea) and things to do.

First time staying at a BB. Had a pleasant time. Inn keepers were kind and helpful.

6/10 Good

The room was fine and clean, and the bed was comfortable. One small piece of cheese put out for the 5:00 cheese and wine. Coffee is not served until 7:30 and breakfast is not until 9:00. We had to check out at 8:30 for a tee time and asked if there was anything to take with us. Even a piece of toast or a muffin to go would have been nice.
