Every single detail of this house is beautifully done. Take a step into the turn of the century. How could you not pour yourself a thimble of sherry and sit quietly in the living room just absorbing the wonder, thinking about the intervening 125 years, the lives lived; the joys and sorrows, the losses, the loves. Magical? Indeed. (Feeling peckish? There are probably a few fresh baked goodies in the kitchen.) The feather bed was.....a dream! Lovely soaps and lotions are all here for bathing. Big cozy super fresh towels and best linens. And breakfast. Wow. You won't need lunch. It changed daily. A generous bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt always started it. Then each day was different-a frittata, French toast, pancakes, eggs with sausages or bacon. Yum. I sort of don't want to leave. But. Yeah. Back to life. Back to reality. I love my home but this has been grand.

Our friends made arrangements for…read morethe four of us at Rob and Kim's for a weekend get together, because it was roughly halfway between our home in Minnesota and their's in central MO. What a fortunate turn of events for the four of us. Turns out that Pella is a very nice place to spend some time and our mini vacation was made doubly enjoyable by the extraordinary hospitality offered at The Cheesemaker's Inn. Rob and Kim have mastered the art of accommodation. Every need is satisfied. The rooms are exceptionally clean, tidy and well decorated. They provided a small but pleasant sitting room off the upstairs bedrooms where we could brew coffee or tea, snack on cookies, and help ourselves to refrigerated soft drinks while chatting or reading the paper. Breakfasts are something to look forward to at this inn. We have stayed at any number of B&B's and have generally been served a good meal from the kitchen. But Kim's skill in the kitchen is above par. Homemade bread? Yes. Garden herbs? Expect it. Fresh ingredients prepared and presented in a simple but elegant way? You bet. And best of all, their guest service is unpretentious and welcoming. It's as though you were neighbors from down the road or a relative from across town. Just a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The host and owner, Jeff, was great. He was talkative but not intruding. He called me a few hours before check-in to ask what kind of wine we liked so that he could put a complimentary bottle on ice. We had booked the smaller room on the second floor but since the larger room wasn't booked he offered us that room at no extra cost. (Both were amazing.) Truly a great stay in a great place.

And the drive was not bad at all, only .9 miles from our home lol, if it weren't for the tree line we could see our back deck from The Corn Crib! When we arrived Barb was just finishing up some final touches and greeted us as we arrived. I had been in email contact with her for quite awhile as I had to reschedule several times, she was always accommodating and very professional! Absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. The details in the design and interior decorating are amazing! My wife and I would love to build a home like The Corn Crib, only a bit larger in places. We spent 20 minutes walking around just noticing the small details that made all the difference! My only concern was the bed. My wife and I are used to a California king bed. I'm 6'3 230 pounds, my wife 5'0 125 lbs, things get a little tight in smaller beds, but by no means would the bed size prevent anything less than 5 stars for The Corn Crib! We chose to stay local to help out our local businesses. We finished up our day by going to West Hill Brewing here in Indianola for a few beers, followed up by a pizza from Bricktown. Definitely come to The Corn Crib if you get a chance!!

The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Virginia is a lovely host - present if you want her to be, and absent if you don't, which is something some other B&B's haven't figured out. :) The Stone Mansion is in a convenient location and much more comfortable than the hotels in the area. We can't wait to have a reason to stay there again!

When I used my phone to see our lodging options, I resigned myself to sleeping somewhere resembling low income housing.

Gary and Virginia were very accommodating to our up in the air schedule, the rooms and mansion are beautiful, and the breakfast is fantastic. Take the time to get to know the history of the home and look through the numerous before and during photos of its restoration. I don't know when we will be back, but we will be back.
