Contactless entry was easy with passcode. Only available beverages were a kureg coffee maker and bottled water in fridge. Did get voucher for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Recommend for those who like victorian style B&Bs. Lovely old furniture and decor. Bed was king and very comfortable.

The property is quaint and rustic. Very close to downtown and very walkable to all things. If you are coming from out of town and Uber-ed from the airport as we did, there are little options to assist with luggage. They did ultimately let us check in early which was helpful. However, if you assume you can drop your bags prior to check in, that is not an option. It states BnB but the breakfast is at another hotel a few blocks away and you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance. Also, the check in check out is all done on your own. Feels more like a shared air bnb than a BnB. Nothing wrong with this but it’s not as transparent online.

Super comfortable room. Beautiful house. Everyone was quiet the night I stayed there. Walking distance to the central district. The sun room off the Riverside Suite has a nice table for work and the territorial view is quite pleasant. Would stay there again.

Exceeded our expectations! The photos do not do justice! After staying here, I could never go back to a traditional hotel. We didn’t want to leave our room! The views, the character, and cozy atmosphere were out of this world. The complimentary breakfast was at a separate location, but was the cherry on top of an amazing stay! WE CANT WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN!

Beautiful, stayed in the carriage house didn't make it into the main house. Was disappointed that the breakfast wasn't at the house. Breakfast was at the Lowell inn a couple blocks away reservation was required. Didn't see anywhere on the website that breakfast would be else where. Probably wouldn't have booked as it defeats the purpose for us.

Cute inn
This is our second stay here with my daughter as a mom-daughter overnight. The inn is pleasant and the location is great. The room was too hot, which made it difficult to sleep at times. The St. Croix suite was lovely. Would stay there again. I do miss the morning breakfast as the breakfast at the nearby restaurant was lacking.

Nice place, and would stay again!
Stay was very good. The hot tub in the room is actually a luke warm tub. However I kind of understand, as hot water would probably create moisture problems in the room over time. Very well kept historic house. The chocolates when entering, and in the room are a nice touch. Nice place!
