Everything about this bed and breakfast was absolutely perfect, but Alla is one of the kindest human being on Earth. She made us feel so welcome and loved! She shared her life experiences with us and then did a great job of giving us space to celebrate our honeymoon. She ensured the temperature was just what we wanted, she made amazing meals, and gave great suggestions about what to do around town. Alla is amazing!

Looking to get away for the week or weekend? Want to have a staycation that feels like you are away from home? I highly suggest this "Bed and Breakfast" to suite your needs! Great for families, couples (new and old) and political or celebrities that wish to be hidden away. Alla is so wonderful in her greeting with a beautiful smile. She makes you feel instant comfort upon arrival. I loved the unique atmosphere that brought me back to when I visited France. I enjoyed seeing the various antiques giving an old fashion presence. The price is very reasonable and you have 3 choices for breakfast as well. I will definitely keep this on my top 10 favorite list for enjoying peace and quiet away from home. I reccomend that everyone should at one point in their life have a "Bed and Breakfast" experience. I don't give 5 stars easily so you know this is definitely a place worth staying. ENJOY!!!…

If you have never had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful B&B dont waste a second thinking about it, JUST DO IT!!!! I wanted a unique experience for my 35th birthday and I was pleasantly over blessed with this one. Everything started off by being greeted in the driveway with hugs, and then we got the grand tour thanks to Rick so many amazing things that you might just look over and miss, we then spent a good portion of the evening getting to know Alla and Rick, (what a couple....if laughter is medicine.....) we finished off the night with a dip in the hot tub, a perfect, relaxing way to end the first night. We awoke in our beautiful red room with plush furnishings and a mattress that would make you want to roll over and miss MOST breakfasts, but not here!!! We had the hot American breakfast the first morning and was not disappointed, a completely scratch made breakfast with only organic ingredients.....to die for! Rounded out the day with another dip in the hot tub and again slept like cherubs. Awoke to the king size organic European breakfast this is a culinary delight that I will be going back for, and will remember even as I am in heaven asking how they expect to call it heaven without Allas potatoes, and crepes....checkout was painless and bittersweet, we checked into the B&B as strangers and left as family, you will NEVER have a better experience at any hotel nor B&B, Allas is the best and we love her and Rick!!!!…

Alla and Rick are beyond hospitable!!! They are fun, loving and very interesting people! The place is IMMACULATE. It is historic and you will be awed at the 120 yr old WORKING light bulbs that still work and all the wonderful antiques that you have probably never seen. Alla is a professional chef and her special breakfasts are something to behold! This is my second time here and they helped celebrate a very special birthday for my husband with family. The beds are TRULY comfortable and all bathroom amenities (shampoo, toothbrush, conditioner, feminine product needs and any thing you could ever want are provided if you did not bring yours). They have robes for you in most of the rooms. If you don't want to order the special made breakfast, the continental is free. It is NOT like other high end hotels. It is BETTER! They have a large enclosed sun room open 24/7. There is coffee, tea, juices, boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit and anything you could think of!! Alla also tries to stock anything special you may desire in the fridge for the next morning. 7 celebrities have stayed here and there has been TV shows/clips of the main historic home. They have won a MULTITUDE of awards nationwide. There are two other houses and if you bring family/friends the whole home is yours to enjoy your own living room, formal dining room (where you can order food in or cook) fully stocked kitchen with coffee, refrig, stove, microwave, all utensils, plates and pans etc. In the main historic house you do not have kitchen privileges as that is where she makes her SUPERB breakfast for guests that order her special breakfast. But the sun room is there. Our family stayed 3 nights. One night we bought beer, wine and snacks and had a rip roaring time playing a fun game and talking. They also have hot tubs that can be included for an additional charge. Overall, their charges are so much less and you will have the greatest rejuvenating, relaxing time. Alla is from the Ukraine. Her bouncy personality and love and laughter just make you soooo happy. Rick is wonderful too! He is the curator of one of the finest museums in the United states with antique grama phones, musical boxes etc. that YOU WILL BE AWED AT! There are 500 WORKING pieces in the museum. Some are the only ones left known in the world. He is a professional collector and goes on trip all over the world to find them. I just can't say enough. My husband and I decided that we will stay at least every 6 months to rejuvenate!…

My wife and I found this place because we were visiting cousins in Duncanville, TX. We were a bit leery of its location, but all of our fears were unfounded. Alla Wilkins is an immigrant innkeeper who, with her husband have turned this house, built and occupied by Jon C. Pelt, into a one-of-a-kind experience. Alla is proud to introduce you to all of her working models of early 20th-century ice boxes, televisions, telephones, music boxes, Victrolas, Edison light bulbs, etc. Alla has a second love, which is cooking. You can see from many of the previous reviews that her breakfasts are legendary. We really enjoyed he spelt french toast smothered in fresh fruit and homemade jam. Her eggs come from the 23 chickens in the backyard. I would tell you from where Alla immigrated but she likes you to guess. No doubt that this is the best overnight accommodations in the Duncanville area.…

There were six of us who stayed for a total of four nights in a separate, four bedroom Guest House at Alla's Historical Bed and Breakfast, Spa & Cabana. We had private use of a living room, dining room, kitchen, and an enclosed patio in addition to the four bedrooms. One negative is that the bedrooms are small with low lighting. The Guest House landscaping, especially in the back, needs some tender care. After a short drive from our Guest House to the Main House, we enjoyed a delicious American breakfast the first morning prepared by Alla. For the remaining days we enjoyed a free, self served continental breakfast that included juice, fruit, cereal, bread items, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. Alla's Historical Bed and Breakfast, Spa & Cabana was relatively close to the attractions in Dallas and close to a small, excellent Italian restaurant. Our scheduled departure back home was an early flight and we were able arrange with Alla to have our continental breakfast available before 6:00am.…
