My husband and I loved staying at the Keleidoscope Inn - a gorgeous and handsomely appointed Victorian house in a serene garden setting. Our room was simply beautiful, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom lovely and spotless. The hostess, Beki, is warm and attentive, and she's a good cook! (If you're good and hungry, try her hearty apple pancake for breakfast.) A tremendous value. I would stay there again in a hot minute.

Great Place

This was a last minute stay over the 4th of July. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The breakfast was great. You can ask to have things cooked for breakfast or have the premade stuff. We walked around the grounds, it’s like you’re in a hidden oasis. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay

Do very wonderful place to stay in an old mansion. The breakfast provided by the host and hostess were excellent both warnings. The most of the rooms are upstairs so if you have a hard time navigating stairs, this may not be your preferred place to stay. But don’t let that stop you if you wanna real adventure. Is wonderful and relaxing. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby. We would go there again.

LOVED our time here! It felt like the secret garden. So quaint and you could really feel the history. The grounds were beautiful and we loved all the sitting areas outside to hang out and relax. Really loved the fire pit! Only complaint is I am very sensitive to mold and there were some signs of water damage in the bathroom- staining on the floors and rippling on the walls. That concerned me. Other than that- we loved every second!!

This is a cool house to stay in. We had a very big room and plenty of privacy. There was an event on the property that could have disturbed our stay, however we were told in advance about the possibility of noise. It was ok for us because we had all day plans that kept us out the house until after 9pm.

Listing said in-room microwave and in-room refrigerator, as well as air conditioning (which obviously implies in the room). None of these were true and the room was just slightly larger than the queen bed in it. Also, the place reeked of mold. However, the proprietor immediately and cheerfully refunded our entire 2-night cost, which earned a couple more stars here than I would have given it. And to be fair, it really is a beautiful property, with a majestic main house and lots of lush greenery, gazebos, etc. The "Cottage" unit here needs to go back to being a storage shed, though! Caveat emptor, folks.
