Room was spotless! I have severe dust-mite allergies, but nothing at all set me off. The room was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, along with the rest of the location. The owners were very nice, and even "ducked" my jeep while parked there. That gave me a giggle! Would highly recommend to anyone going out that direction - and will recommend to all of my friends.

Yes, the room was spotless. Plenty of very nice little extras in the in-room fridge and cabinets, nice to have two places to lounge in. Continental breakfast was more than adequate. Very nice indeed. Jodi is an excellent host. Very understanding and works with the guest very well, to make sure the guest gets the best situation possible.

Lovely historic home that is well loved and it is apparent. We were here for two of the coldest nights of the year yet it was so cozy and inviting. Jodi was lovely and answered our enquires immediately. The breakfast was good and there were a lot of choices. The room had a few extras such as granola bars and flavoured water which were a nice touch. The website is excellent and gives you things to do in the area which was much appreciated.

On an annual trip to area with my friend. We enjoyed our stay very much. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and the self serve breakfast options. We were not in our room much except for evenings but we enjoyed watching movies and snacking on popcorn provided by the hosts. Also enjoyed playing cards that were available. Travelers have to keep an open mind that this is an older home therefore don’t expect perfection. The home is exactly as it should be represented. Definitely stay there again if in the area for future trips. Wonderful stay!

The stay was fine, the bed was not good at all. The mattress felt like sleeping on a piece of plywood. The bed frame was rustic but very noisy with any movements and not ideal to sleep on.

I recently stayed at Bristow's Inn with my family and found the entire property immaculately clean, from the polished floors to the fresh linens in the cozy guest room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and well-organized, with clear instructions and timely communication that made settling in and departing effortless.

We stayed at this property for the first time. We stayed for 2 nìghts in the Fall. My husband loves hisyory and antiques. Thus, we gave this inn a try. It is a beautiful historic property. Pictures on the wall tells the history of the house. Interior decorations also reflect its time in history. This inn is clean and quiet. The only thing I don't like is the squeaky beds in our room and the thinly covered top half of the window with lacey materials. The sunrise literally wakes you up.

Liked the history of the property. Enjoyed our visit as it was close to amenities and was quiet and safe. Twin bed was squeaky and the double bed was comfortable but difficult to get into as very high. ? Issues with the coffee maker as it shut off several times. We appreciated the fact that the Bistrow was pet friendly.
