A real retreat

This was the first time using Victorian Inn. This B+B was as comfortable as it gets. We had #8, which was located in a private area of the Inn, with private bathroom, and private front porch which had a beautiful breeze. We were quite comfortable. We enjoyed the hot breakfasts on the weekend and the Continental breakfast for Monday. The Inn is centrally located for the sights and restaurants of this area.

Very relaxing couple of days

The Victorian Inn was absolutely wonderful. The Inn has so much character and warmth. You definitely feel at home in the plush living room. We had a large group and it was great place to sit and relax for the evening. Shelley was accommodating and made us feel very welcome and catered to every need. Will definitely return. We are actually planning a return trip with the same group and some of our other friends. Dave Pence

restful

This is a lovely, restful place. It's a nice little distance from the retail area yet close to the state and local beaches as well as the usual boating and fishing of Lake Erie. Additionally it is close to restaurants and a good grocery store. The back deck is pretty and peaceful. The sheets and towels were excellent and the bedroom, bathroom and common areas very clean. This was my second time here and will not be my last. Customer service was great. A personal call alerted me that I left something important behind when I checked out. Thanks for the personal service!!!
