Historic Beauty and Gracious Hospitality

I want to commend the owners of the The Richards House. They are working to return an old mansion to its former glory. Old portraits, antique gas lamps, a working piano, working fireplaces, stained glass, and room skeleton keys make this landmark a one-of-a kind B&B.

Our room was clean and quiet. It was air conditioned (thank God), and the temperature stayed nice and cool during the dog days of summer. The room was full of windows; each of which was adorned by beautiful stained glass - original to the home.

The adjoining bathroom had a large walk-in shower along with an old fashioned toilet with the tank hung on the wall. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were in the shower for our use. Clean towels and wash rags were provided.

Close attention was shown by providing all the guests with free sodas, water, wine (yes, free wine), and freshly baked items like muffins, cookies, and pound cake. The innkeepers left all of the treats on an old buffet outside the rooms in the hallway for anyone to serve themselves. All drinks were kept cold in a refrigerator.

Each morning the house was filled with the smell of homemade cooking coming from the kitchen downstairs. For breakfast we stuffed ourselves on hearty cuisines like crepes, quiche, bacon, eggs, baked pears, french toast, homemade syrup with bananas and nuts, orange juice, and fresh coffee. The innkeepers really put forth a lot of effort in offering a filling and delicious breakfast for their guests, as well as amazing ambiance.

But eating breakfast served by them was only half the fun. They love to sit down with you and offer polite conversation. They have many interesting stories to tell, and are ready to offer tourists ideas and places to visit during their stay.

Lastly, our Chihuahua, Leo, felt right at home. It's very important to me to be able to bring my dog with me on trips. I'm so glad I found The Richards House on BringFido!

We plan to return during Christmas this year (2020) so we can enjoy a roaring fire in our room, and gather round one of the the Christmas trees they put up for the Holidays. We plan to bring friends with us as well!

Bravo, The Richards House!
