"Outstanding stay"

9.0

The mansion was awesome!!! So much history!!! Our hostess was charming and shared many amazing stories re the mansion!! We took the owner 's suggestion and went to the original Mexican restaurant..very good! Back to the room...very nice, but pillows were way too hard! Would suggest tissues in the room....we may have had them but didn't locate them. The breakfast was outstanding! French press coffee!!!Highly recommend this lovely b and b!!

"Nice place to stay if you like to be treated like family and not a number!"

10.0

This place felt like home and was full of history. We were treated with kindness. The breakfast was delicious. We rented the golf cart and that was really fun to cruise the town in. We will visit again.

We missed the meet and greet hour. Wished we could have been there! Beautiful home.

"While I booked many months ago, I was given the worst room they had. There were better accommodations but were not offe"

3.0

The hospitality. The staff and breakfast was amazing.

The bed was very uncomfortable, I had leg cramping due to no support. It needs a deep clean, floors , corners chandeliers and the crevices if the dining chairs.
