Came here for a Labor Day tubing trip down the river and decided to stay the night to enjoy the hiking the following day. This b&b tried its hardest on the breakfast despite the covid precautions with packaged snacks, fruit, assorted coffee and tea. The rooms are really unique, all very spacious with their own bathrooms. And the common space is super cool. Best part are the screened in porch and exterior wrap around porch with rocking chairs. I picked this place because it looks much like my grandmothers house from the 1800s and wow was it similar. Spoke with the owner for an hour about the character and all the special features. It was so cool to learn more and appreciate her passion. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the amazing breakfast she likes to cook and stay in another room to try it out. Please come support this b&b, you won't regret it!

I loved the attention to detail in the decorations and the amenities. There was a huge DVD collection, although we didn't have time to watch a movie, if we had it definitely would've been fun to look through them all and pick one out. There were cute little chocolates in our room and I loved the fully stocked kitchen that was open 24/7 because when we got back from the wedding we all needed a late night snack! The owners were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We stayed in the Somerset room and everyone was jealous. I think it's the best room! Very ornate and old fashioned looking. The house itself was built right after the civil war. I definitely recommend this place!

When we got their the clerk was on a personal call (how do I know it was personal, because she mentioned that she was attending church at 0830 the next morning). After five minutes of standing there waiting to even be acknowledged, she finally ended her call. No apologies, nothing. I was very shocked at the lack of customer service! The room was great! Even though we were facing the bright lights of the business across the road, the blinds were able to block out the light. Everything else was as expected

Then I couldn't understand him because there was already a language barrier since Im not fluent in tech-supporties. Finally I get checked in but he didn't make my key for the right amount of days I was staying so my key went dead. The rooms are clean but very dark. Not much for lighting. The problem with the rooms is there's Indian immigrants on the same floor so the over powering smell of curry is nauseating. My whole room smells like a wet dog that's been dead for a few days. Funny how we can't smoke in our rooms but cooking curry is ok. Then the window is calked shut so I can't even air my room out. The elevators are sketch AF. They seriously need an upgrade. The better treadmills in the fitness room are broken too. The only plus is I haven't experienced bed bugs yet but I'm not holding my breath.

My brother-in-law had already provided one, but the lady behind the desk said there wasn't one. Later that night, we wanted to take a shower. Only 3 towels were provided. Understandable, so we called and asked for more. We were told we could only have 1 more. The towels were threadbare and that is being generous, so getting dried off was a challenge. She gave us a bag and told us to put dirty towels in it and they would be replaced the next day. No towels were replaced the next day, so we asked for more. For the two rooms, which had 8 people, we got 4 new towels. You do the math. It didn't work. On Monday, we didn't get new towels and the trash still hadn't been taken out. At this point we had to borrow towels from my mother-in-law. We had to take the towels to her house and launder them so we could take showers on Tuesday. On Tuesday around 130 we had a family emergency and had to leave to be with family in Chicago. I explained our situation to the girl at the front desk and even the manager on duty. They wouldn't refund us for the Tuesday night stay. They said they could possibly be full for the night and wouldn't have time to service the rooms. Well, I can tell you that they didn't service the rooms the whole time we were there, and it was never a full house. When I went to get our stuff from our rooms, the housekeeper was in the hallway talking on her phone. I would have gladly paid for a late check out, but that place doesn't deserve a full nights pay for the completely abysmal conditions we stayed in.

Just wanted everyone to note their cancellation policy. We had given over 70 days notice that we were unable to make our trip this year, but it doesn't matter the $50.00 is their set cancellation fee. I would also mention that the air quality in the log cabins is awful!! We opened our windows, bought air fresheners and nothing got rid of the musty moldy smell that permeated the cabin and irritated our sinuses and lungs. This was not a one time experience, we noticed the smell on at least 2 of our stays among several cabins. It was so bad that the last reservation (cancelled one), we had all booked their other cabins, not the log cabins. I have told our group to count me out if they decide to go back, just left a bad vibe with me.

Reasonable prices considering the quantity & quality of the menu offerings. All the entrees come with the soup & salad bar. I had a vegetable beef soup, and was impressed with the large pieces of mushrooms, potatoes, etc. The broth was excellent & hit the spot on a slightly chilly day. I ordered the Walleye entree, broiled with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries come with a sweet cinnamon sauce that is really unique and tasty. I took some home as I think it would be fabulous on pancakes. The food was not very hot when we got our entrees, for some reason. My husband's cilantro chicken was a little overdone, but he still liked it. He remarked that the red potatoes were especially good. Another friend said that her fish fry was just okay. We will definitely return, but perhaps choosing something different, possibly just the soup and salad bar.
