"There's no place like the Reynolds Mansion.."

At least that is what our guests have been telling us since we opened in 1994. And here is what else they say......

"We stayed at the Reynolds Mansion for our wedding night and we could not have been happier with our time there. The staff was friendly and fun to talk with, and the atmosphere was incredible. We felt incredibly relaxed the entire time, and the breakfasts were amazing."

"The Reynolds Mansion is by far our favorite B&B. We've stayed at the Reynolds Mansion about a half-dozen times over the past few years, and every visit was absolutely perfect. The building is spectacular. The architectural detail is incredible. Each time we stay there, we see exquisite details that we missed before! It is difficult to choose a favorite room -- each is special -- but the snuggery, the game room, and the cherub suite are among our favorites. The architecture is second only to the hospitality. We are made to feel like family coming home for a visit, except we don't have to do any dishes! The innkeepers and the housekeeper are wonderful people -- and terrific chefs! The breakfasts are delicious."

"Charming. Simply the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The hosts are gracious. Mark is energetic and knows his town very well. He is also a character that had us laughing and enjoying ourselves even more. The breakfast was as gourmet as you can get. Select Registry should be proud to have The Reynold's Mansion as a member."

"Set in a charming, romantic Victorian town, the Reynold's Mansion is a true gem. The service there is personal and attentive, and the rooms are luxurious and relaxing. We plan on returning for out next get-away."

"Everything at the Reynolds Mansion exceeded our expectations! Joe was a gracious and most helpful host, always available to answer questions yet never imposing. Breakfast was the best I've ever had at a B&B, and the options for dining in the area made it difficult to choose where to eat. The room was impeccably clean yet entirely inviting; I felt at home the minute I entered. We cannot wait to go back - the only trouble is that we can't decide whether to book the same room we had (the Green Room) or try one of the others - they all looked so wonderful during our tour! This is the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing getaway!"

"What an incredible value."

"Gracious hosts. Gracious home."

"Wonderful as usual! (Great breakfast)"

"A night or two at The Reynolds Mansion is a weeks worth of vacation relaxation"

"While having dinner at the White House, I couldn't help but look around and thinking to myself that The Reynolds Mansion has more character."

"We love to stay at B & B's. Some have been interesting experiences, others a wonderful surprise. The Reynolds Mansion was a wonderful surprise".

"A little bit of heaven on earth.. Thank you so much."

"Wonderful! Nicest B & B we've been in! (5 stars)."

"Incredibly Beautiful, Thank You!"

"I have severe food allergies, and they were able to accommodate me with no advanced notice. These people are saints, and Charlotte is as nice as my own mother."

"Awesome home, awesome innkeeper' A very special place to return to. Room so delightful, comfortable, and CLEAN."

"The Reynolds Mansion is a beautiful Victorian Inn. In the last two years, we have stayed in all six of the rooms. Each room has its own distinctive decor and personality. We know that we will be returning, and can recommend it to anyone who wants to feel pampered."
