This turned out to be our favorite inn on our recent roadtrip. And I might add, we spent considerable time researching Trip Advisor for every stop on our way. The inn has a special designation as an historical landmark, but this has proved to be a mixed blessing, because along with the special designation comes additional challenges. Despite this, the...

As a belated Valentine's Day gift, my husband booked this particular B&B as a surprise for me on Feb. 27, 2012! Apparently he researched several different B&B sites and chose this one for its authenticity...and excellent rates!! Trust me, for the amount he paid for the library suite, which is located right on the main floor not too far from... More

Don't judge a book by it's cover. This grand ol' house is a thread-bare on the outside and currently going though renovation, but the inside of this mansion is quite amazing. My wife and I came up for the weekend to ski. When we first pulled up to the house I started to wonder what I was thinking when I... More

This is an amazing house - stained glass windows, tile fireplaces, incredible woodwork and antiques (the Richards must have been quite prosperous in 1883), plus Michelle makes you a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Some may be initially put off by the exterior condition, but you are depriving yourself of a real treat if you let that scare you off.... More

WOW...we spent two nights at this place for our 29th anniversary and I have to say it was THE most romantic place to do this. The decor in this bed and breakfast is absolutely gorgeous. The innkeepers are friendly and the food awesome. The privacy of the suite and the elegance of the bed and interior made us both feel... More

We have stayed in B&Bs all over the country. I picked this location based on many of the reviews. The breakfasts were indeed wonderful and the hosts were most anxious to make us feel welcome, however this was not up to par. The outside looked like it was fallilng down around our ears. We realize renovation takes time, but it... More

My wife and I spent a great evening at the Richards House. The interior is full of antiques and charm, and the price was extremely affordable. The breakfast and snacks (made available all day) alone were worth the cost of the stay. The exterior is most definitely a work in progress. It's my understanding that the owners are slowly working... More

Four of my girlfriends and I stayed at the Richards House while we did the Iowa Wine Trail Weekend. We had a fire in the fireplace in our rooms at night and wonderful desserts on the sideboard each evening. Breakfast was a break-feast! The food was wonderful, the home was beautiful and comfy, and the service was beyond my expectations!... More

I can not say enough about this wonderful home! For history and Victorian fans, this is a great place! I felt I was sleeping in a museum. The furnishings are incredible, antiques all. The house itself is a masterpiece of craftmanship. The owners were delightful and provided excellent service. The price was a bargain. The breakfast perfect and met my... More
