The home is gorgeous and the rooms are very welcoming and relaxing. The hosts were wonderful, the home is in a great location and breakfast was amazing! I would highly recommend staying here anytime you visit.

Review of Aldrich Guest House
Reviewed Apr 22, 2023
Just lovely…. Came with friends, hope to return with husband. The hosts are experienced in hotel management and their expertise shines throughout. They began with a history lesson of the Aldrich house that includes stays by both Lincoln and Grant. The house was impeccably cared for and the breakfasts were delicious. Happy hour on the porch was filled with great conversation. I recommend this highly!

We loved our stay at the Aldrich Guest House! Our room was clean and the house is beautiful. The breakfast is wonderful. The owners are the friendliest and truly think of everything. The short walk to downtown has the best views. I hope we get stay again!

Douglas and Robert were meant to run a B&B; they were welcoming, attentive and professional. We've stayed at a number of historic hotels and B&B's where they explain away peeling wallpaper, less than clean, etc., because the property is "historic." The Aldrich Guest House does not have those issues, for it is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. You will love it here!
Room tip: You'll enjoy the cocktail hour and the gourmet breakfast.

Beautiful home decorated with warmth and charm without being fussy. Our gracious hosts, Robert and Douglas, prepared a delicious breakfast and served afternoon cocktails and treats daily. (Thanks for sharing recipes Douglas!). They were very helpful in recommending local restaurants and shops (all great). It had snowed about 4 inches on our last night and were surprised and pleased to find Robert had cleared our car of snow! We will definitely return.
