10/10 Exceptional

Cozy comfort

This was a peaceful escape with small-town charm. You'll hear the occasional creak of old floors, but it adds to the authentic charm, character and warmth. Clean and spacious with thoughtful decorating and touches throughout. Host Debbie was accommodating and flexible when I failed to notify in advance of our arrival as requested in the booking. Appreciate that! .

Enjoyed our stay, had the house to ourselves. Charming get away,would book again.

6/10 Good

We called the owner about 30 minutes prior to anticipated arrival; left message. We arrived but no one there and we left another message. We waited about 30 minutes and were about to leave when the owner called with code to let us into the home. The web site states "breakfast included" but, when I texted the owner that everning requesting a breakfast time, the owner replied that "We haven't served breakfast since COVID" and we had to spend about $20 at a restaurant for breakfast.

Pleasant stay! But take note...

Our stay at The Guest House was very pleasant and the location was perfect for visiting our family in the area. I'm writing this, not to complain, but because I feel it may save some future complaints, if people know what they are getting into. First, this is a historic home. The condition isn't perfect. There are some uneven floors, etc. If this bothers you, dont stay. But we love history. So we were perfectly content. We stayed in the double queen room with private bath. The private bath is small with a very small shower and no bath. This wasn't a problem for us (other than when my husband accidental knocked the handle with his elbow and turned the water to cold 😅) and we aren't the smallest people ever. However, I could see a larger person not being comfortable in the shower or moving around in the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the room and bath were both clean.

Beautiful home. Sad that the up keep on the home is not be looked after. Quite neighborhood was nice.
Carrie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very unique and interesting place. Quite comfortable overall. Fortunately we were the only guests upstairs so we had complete access to bathroom. If other guests had been there it would have been a shared space. That’s the only negative.

The house was old, no cooking equipment.

An okay place to stay

This was an okay place to stay. The owner/host was extremely nice. However, although advertised as a bed & breakfast with a “full breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30”, there was no breakfast. The owner said she stopped that when Covid started. It seems like some provisions could have been made. Like danishes, yogurt, juice, water, something, in the fridge. Also, there was no air conditioning in our room & the bathroom was extremely small.

NOT HONEST

I understand that places all have different refund policies. I called more than enough notice to try and cancel my second night without penalty. The property owner told me that no one from Hotels.com tried to contact her when ya’ll tried in my behalf to contact the property. I then received an email from ya’ll at Hotels.com saying the property owner denied the request to cancel. My issue is just be honest with me rather than saying Hotels.com never contacted you as the property owner. 😡

Ok if you want an old home/place to sleep

This is a nice old home for people that adore antiques and such. The shower and bathroom are very tiny. The drive way is also small. There was no television in the bedroom and I could not find toilet paper to replace roll. There was no breakfast offered even though it stated it would be included.

6/10 Good

The owner cancelled day-of on us. Even though she didn’t charge us for this booking and told us where we could get another room, that other room ended up being expensive since it was last minute. Seemed like a nice property and owner, unfortunate that we couldn’t experience it and that the experience was a stressful one for me.

2/10 Poor

This was not at all what I was expecting. I would not return.

6/10 Good

Note: Keep in mind that my review is for our room specifically. It does not represent the condition of the entire property, and another couple staying there in the house were really enjoying their stay. Our room was an addition on the back of the house. The room was large, beds were soft and comfortable, and linens were also really nice. The drawbacks were the lack of air conditioning and unusual, small bathroom. The house was cool and comfortable but we had no air in our particular room since it was an addition. The bathroom was weird because you had to turn sideways to get through between the upright shower and door. Our host, Debbie, was one of the friendliest people anyone you would meet. We talked for a long time and had an enjoyable conversation. It was just a lack of air conditioning and the bathroom for our room in the addition that affects this review.
