We refused to stay .

Building was in total disrepair, poor lighting, cracked windows, dirty carpet and filthy shower.

Overall a very unique stay that was enjoyable.

6.0

The hosts were welcoming and very accommodating as well as professional. The amenities were nice and numerous. The Breakfast, snacks, and other goodies were plentiful and amazing. Our breakfast was out of this world, scrumptious.

The exterior of this old historic bed breakfast is literally falling apart. Holes in the roof. tarps in some spot. Windows in some rooms are broken or even missing. The pictures online were deceiving since it portrayed an old historic building in relatively good condition. The interior is nice and more well maintained but even the interior has wall paper missing, paint chipping, and even mouldings missing or a wire sticking out of the bathroom wall.

10/10 -everything about the stay was perfect. The hosts were absolutely wonderful- kind, welcoming, & happy to help. The bedroom was stunning, & the bed was comfortable, made for a great night's sleep. The breakfast was delicious and felt like you were eating a meal at your grandparents home. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Had a great stay for my 1st B&B experience.

A beautiful old mansion with a memory of the past next to the great Mississippi River🫶 Really want to come back and plunge into this magical atmosphere again.😊
