Great romantic weekend stay

Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns property. The owners Eric & Rachel went above & beyond to make our stay perfect! They gave us a tour of the lovely historic home & even made special mimosas for us for our anniversary during breakfast which was delicious. Our room was very comfortable & large. While sitting in our room (Aster) I did notice quite a bit of dust under the bed which could possibly cause issues for those with allergies. Other than that, the room & home were spotless! I definitely highly recommend a stay at this beautiful property.

Awesome place to stay!

My stay was the Frederick Stearns was amazing!! My room was clean and Rachel the owner was very responsive to anything I needed. The location was convenient to get to anything downtown. Literally took less than 10 mins to drive to all the action downtown. My only criticisms are that i wish the actual breakfast provided for the B&B had a little more. It was more of a lite continental breakfast with not many options. Other B&Bs I've stayed at gave you a hot breakfast with all the fixins. My other criticism is minor and it was that i cpuldnt control the temperature in my room. However, Rachel was very responsive when i asked her to adjust the heat in my room. Other than that stuff, i HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Beautiful & Worth It

This was such a gorgeous place! Just beautiful! The owner checked us in and gave us a little tour. We stayed in the Zinnia room. I thought the bed was very comfy. It had Netflix set up on the tv. The fireplace in our room didn’t work though.

Not so Happy New Year’s Eve

I read other reviews for this Inn and I was excited to stay here until I met the owner. She was rude and dismissive towards my fiancé and I from the moment we met. She acted as if we should not be able to afford to be there. We were not welcome. IYKYK. Her husband however was extremely nice so look for him. There were other guests there having a party and she was being super helpful but each time she saw us she tended to look away and act as if we were not there. I cannot tell you what the amenities were because we were not informed of anything unless we asked. She was the only staff so we had no choice but to try to engage with her so we kept our interactions minimal. The Inn is beautiful and impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable but our night was ruined. My fiancé wanted to leave and I refused to because we would not have been able to get a refund. It was not a pleasant night.
