The museum was quite interesting (the James gang, indeed!) and the volunteers friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the history of the place, and the room was quite comfortable.
This property was listed as a”bed and breakfast,” but when i checked in i learned that they had discontinued serving breakfast when Co-vid became a concern. I was disappointed, as i always look forward to the breakfasts served in B&Bs. On the brighter side, my room was very cozy and comfortable and the hosts were helpful and enthusiastic about the historic property. However, I could have appreciated a bit less of the upstairs and down historical tour. Best part was that it was pet friendly and had NO fee or deposit for my pet!
First off, this is not a hotel, motel or inn. It’s a 2 story home built in 1850 that has many problems that need fixed. No AC air heater. They use portable fans & heaters but if you turn them on, you will blow a fuse and have to adjust breaker outside. Internet stopped working halfway through our stay. Cash only, they will not accept debit/credit card. Owner called me at 7 am asking when I was checking out day of check out while I was sleeping. He said they had a wedding that day and needed to know what time I was leaving. I reminded him check out was 11 am. Very narrow staircase, 2 bedrooms only upstairs. Home feels like someone hoarded items ranging from 1900’s - mid 1990’s. There’s stuff EVERYWHERE. Don’t book if you have kids.

Inn/museum in an old house. We grew up in an old houses so not a big deal for us. We checked in went to a bunch of wineries went back to the inn slept and left so didn’t stay long. It’s not for everyone

Pretty dirty. We couldn't believe the hair (human we assume) on shower walls. Mold growing on wall and pictures. (We took photos.) yard is overgrown, unmowed. There's a creepy white van in the grass.
It's a very well-loved and clearly treasured property. It has family history to the owner which is very sweet.
