    Charming Stay with Delicious Breakfast Options!

    Our recent visit was delightful! The historic charm captivated us, and enjoying freshly baked blueberry muffins and gourmet waffles at breakfast was a highlight. For a memorable experience, try a room with a fireplace. Don't miss local dining spots just a short walk away.

    delicious breakfast
    unique decor
    friendly hosts
    uninviting exterior
    lack of modern amenities

    Breakfast was a feast for the senses—truly a delight! The homemade treats were top-notch, and chatting with fellow foodies was a blast. The house oozes character, with its beautiful Victorian touches and charming owners!

    Don't get me started on the exterior. it looked like a horror movie set! The clawfoot tub was a quirky charm, but come on—no showers? That’s retro, but not the posh vibe I was hunting for.

    homemade breakfast
    family-friendly location
    challenging stairs

    We had a wonderful stay at this charming place! The breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh quiche and homemade treats that made our mornings special. Plus, the location is fantastic, with attractions like the National Mississippi River Museum nearby, making it perfect for family adventures, even with a small baby.

    In my wife’s opinion, the stairs were quite challenging for our family. It would be great if there were more accessible options for families with young kids.

    I loved the cozy, vintage charm of the room with the working fireplace! The breakfast was a treat, especially the baked peaches and fresh fruit. Just a heads up, the exterior is a bit rough due to renovations.

    delicious breakfast
    welcoming atmosphere
    uneven entrance steps

    A hidden gem inside!

    Wow, stepping in here feels like traveling back in time! The decor is stunning, filled with history. Breakfast was top-notch with super fresh coffee cake straight outta the oven. But, those steps outside? Kinda rough to get up. Still, once you're in, it's all good vibes and comfort!

    delicious breakfast
    beautiful decor
    warm hospitality

    I can't say enough good things about this adorable B&B! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and made me feel right at home. The breakfast was a delightful spread with quiche, waffles, bacon, and fresh baked goods. The entire house is beautifully decorated and full of history. I loved chatting with fellow guests during breakfast, making it a perfect way to disconnect and enjoy my stay.

    No significant negatives to report.

    historic charm
    cozy atmosphere
    friendly hosts
    uninviting exterior
    ongoing renovations

    I loved my stay at Richards House Bed & Breakfast. The interior is beautifully restored with amazing antiques everywhere. Breakfast was a real treat, especially the quiche and warm baked goods. Michelle provided a fantastic, informative tour of the property, showcasing its history. The location is great, just a short walk from downtown. My room had a cozy charm, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The exterior renovations did give the place a slightly uninviting look upon arrival, but once inside, everything felt warm and welcoming. I wish there was more information available about the ongoing restorations, as they might deter first-time visitors. Overall, a delightful place with excellent service and a wealth of historic character.
