    Mixed berry shortcake (best part of the entire experience)
    Bre B.

    We paid the same price as other guests but we were placed in what felt like the cheap seats or an afterthought in a separate room from the dining room. Our view of the actresses was fair to poor. About 90% of their time was spent in the main dining room, we got a semi side view of them. Two of the four of us that were placed in the side room (sitting room) for dinner got put into a truly cheap seats (uncomfortable plastic folding chairs) it was unpleasant....due to the humidity my legs kept sticking to the hard plastic chair. It would have been nice to have interacted with the other guests, to have had a better view, and to have heard the actresses more clearly. Our quasi side view of the actresses and fair to poor acoustics in the side room an unpleasant experience that spoiled what could have really been a great experience. However, I am pleased that the food was good. Red pepper soup, salad, chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables and a delicious mixed berry shortcake. Service was also very good. Megan, who portrayed Lizzie's sister was a very entertaining performer/actress. You can tell she truly is a Borden family fan and a history enthusiast. Elaina (who portrayed Lizzie) was more lackluster and disengaged....maybe this was intentional to highlight Lizzie's unemotional responses after the murders? I'd recommend to add in a tour of the Borden house before or after the dinner, just being inside and seeing the 3 rooms was interesting. I'd be interested in returning for the tour or an overnight stay in the future. Taking guests on a tour would be a great marketing tactic (increase overnight stays/returns for tours, interest in future events, and/or product sales). Overall, for the price we paid, we didn't enjoy this experience and we don't recommend it.

    Went a while ago for a house tour and the story telling was good. I definitely felt spirits in the house but I did feel a little disrespectful in that house and the gift shop. I am not a psychic but I am a sensitive. The entire tour, it was almost as if a voice was telling me "I didn't do it." Kinda crazy!! I will consider an overnight. I'd like to get more into doing paranormal investigations and exploring new places.

    For our 2000 mile drive, Mrs. K. only added one item to the itinerary - she wanted to see the house. I asked, but she was not interested in spending the night. But that is an option for you if you'd like to stay in a haunted house. Our tour was fabulous. Larry spent over an hour walking us through the various rooms of the property, explaining the events leading up to and after the murders, explaining the family dynamic, the comings and goings of neighbors and then the trial itself. Beyond that, the life she lived after her acquittal. Details and side stories and lots of drama. Just a tremendous time and I can't recommend it highly enough. This is a fabulous time in American history. And yes, they have a complete gift shop in the back. Book ahead for the tour, or you can just show up at the gift shop any time. As to "Is it haunted?" I will say that we did not see or encounter anything on the tour but it does seem strange that every cup of coffee we had since then has been flavorless. No correlation but... strange.

    Had a great experience during the tour on Halloween this year! Nick our tour guide was amazing host and guide, definitely set the theme for every story keeping the large group that was there captivated. The house itself as a bed & breakfast is a fantastic way to enjoy the history and mystery of the home. Hoping to stay soon, having enjoyed the tour and history of the home.

    Went on the tour about an hour long, paid extra $7 for the basement visit. Small group for the tour and had a blast. Tour guide Elaina was awesome, she answered all our questions and her excitement for the history and mystery made the tour all that more exciting. Learned so much I didn't know before. Loved the tour, would highly recommend, my favorite historical/ mystery tour I've been on.

    A group of friends and I rented the whole bed-and-breakfast for an overnight paranormal ghost hunt. We had accessibility to all four floors which included the basement, the kitchen and dining area where Mr. Borden was murdered, the upstairs bedroom areas where Mrs. Borden was murdered and the attic where Bridget, the maid resided. We did have our own equipment, but the bed-and-breakfast does offer kits with various tools to utilize through the night. In the morning, the staff cooked us the meal of the Borden's last morning, which included pancakes with confectioners sugar, eggs, sausages, home fries and orange juice. The barn is turned into a gift shop where there's a bunch of collectibles to choose from. With our package stay, we were able to get an ax and a Lizzie doll. I also got Max the cat plush doll, a T-shirt and a shot glass. The prices are reasonable for a gift shop.

    Replicas of the skulls and how they were damaged.
    Robin H.

    There were six of us and our tour guide was Megan. She was so informative and knew so much history and gave us lots of things to question about this tragic situation. It was very interesting and she was very entertaining. We are glad we went and now want to watch the movie again. The only negative thing I thought of is that it was very warm in some of the rooms with 13 people in the tour. Some of the rooms are very small.

    The tour was great! We learned about the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden. Megan with the red hair was a great tour guide who went into extravagant detail on the story of the axe murders.

    Enjoyed an overnight stay at this creepy home. We ended up booking out this whole home with a group of friends. So much history in this house. Definitely creepy vibes here. Staff was helpful and friendly.

    We just finished up our tour at the Historic Lizzie Borden House in Falls River, and what a fabulous experience was had by everyone in my group (6 people ages 12-84)! My husband and sons are fans of the horror genre, so they were convinced as soon as "murder by hatchet" was mentioned. My friend and mother in law were more interested in the historical aspects of the building/costumes/etc and the efforts to reconstruct the story. Our remarkably knowledgeable tour guide, Megan Alves, could speak to all these matters and so much more. As my 12 year old son summarized it at the end, she had the encyclopedic knowledge of a historian and the humor and cheek of an entertainer. We highly recommend this tour.

    Ten out of ten! Especially if you're into ghostly stuff! Each room was packed with information about the trials and stuffed with history from the original house. Wouldn't say it's the most haunted place ever but it definitely gave me the creeps

    Loved the tour it was very interesting and informative. I wish I had the tour guides name so I can put her name in this review because she was fantastic . I was there Earlier today at 330 pm tour. Great time .. bucket list to come and see the house .

For myself, I don't need a B&B with the pricey high-end amenities. When I'm on vacation or traveling, I'm either trying to get away from it all, or can drive to a shop specializing in those things if I really must. Gilbert's was perfect for me. An old family farm, converted to a B&B, was quiet and comfortable. I appreciate the classic, not-so-modern, character of an old home. The interior was tastefully and simply decorated with antique period pieces supplemented with modern decor. The yellow pine hardwood floors throughout the house were gorgeous and were what caught my eye immediately. The old barn and paddock were hiding places for the three outdoor cats. The wild turkeys occasionally perched in the tall trees. The proprietor, an adorable woman, showed me through the house with all the nooks and crannies and hidden rooms that made me realize the house was a lot bigger than it appears from the outside. I couldn't have gone wrong with any room I picked. What made it feel like home, were the interactions with the owners, who greeted me, and the other guests, both upon arrival and at the end of the day when we returned from our adventures. At end end of my visit, I didn't want to leave. I already felt like I was home. And the good-bye hug went a long way to making me wish I could stay and and the same time start planning the next visit. Just like a visit to mom 's or grandma's.
