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. Then I saw the B&B tab on TripAdvisor and the McNeill Stone Mansion B&B was presented with beautiful rooms just across the street. Gary and Virginia were very accommodating to our up in the air schedule, the rooms and mansion are beautiful, and the breakfast is fantastic.

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.

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.

We rented the cottage for a few months, on and off, and it was so comfortable and home-like. Super clean! Renee made sure we didn't want for anything, and she makes THE best pumpkin bread! They went out of their way to help with anything we needed. The property is beautiful and well kept and is close to anything you might need. The bed is amazingly comfortable with pillows galore. Ohhh and the jacuzzi tub!!!! It fits two people easily and is just heavenly. There's a skylight and plants which for me, was so relaxing. Looking to get married? Jim has you covered. (Found that out at the end) Do yourself a favor. Instead of staying at a large hotel, dealing with lobbies and other guests, stay in the cottage. PS. After having Renee's pumping bread, I wish we had opted for the breakfast!!

All the rooms that we had access to were beautiful and they retained their quaintness from years gone by. Our room was upstairs and our stairway was off the kitchen. It was kind of steep but we managed, I'm not sure everyone would be able to though. We pretty much had the entire floor on that side of the house. There was a little kitchen up there with a microwave and sink, but no refrigerator. I'm sure if we had asked if we could use the refrigerator that was in the main kitchen we would have been granted the privilege. The beautiful dining room had a side table with all kinds of tea cups and saucers and teas. We made ourselves a cup of tea while we waited for our room to be ready. Our room was not overly big, but it worked for us. The walk in closet had a couple of sitting chairs and my husband I sat in there to have our coffee and a sweet roll (something we do every day and we weren't going to give up the routine just because we were on vacation). We still joke about how we had our coffee in the closet. The little bathroom that we had access to was not attached but since we had the entire floor it didn't matter. There was one other family there at the same time and we all had a very nice breakfast. Homemade waffles with fruit and whipped cream, and sausage. We also had juice and coffee. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. If you decide to stay here you won't regret it. Barbara and Larry were very eager to please, and they managed to do that very well.
