This place is perfection! The owners are beyond welcoming and so accommodating. The entire place gives off a warm and cozy feeling which makes you feel right at home. The location is perfect, it’s nice and quiet but is still walkable to retaurants nearby. The bedroom and bathroom are decorated so beautifully and are very clean. The breakfast was also so delicious and fresh. My boyfriend and I couldn’t recommend this place enough and will definitely return the next time we’re in the area!

We had a really wonderful stay at the Perkins House! My wife and I only spent a night here but the hosts were wonderful. Our stay was comfortable, the room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was great. Restaurants and shops were also an incredibly close walk to the B&B which was a great perk. We would absolutely stay again!

Delightful getaway

The room was very comfortable, quiet and clean. There is a shared bathroom for the floor, which was fine for us since only one other room was occupied. (I don’t know how that goes when the inn is full.) We did not take advantage of any of the other common areas (living room w/TV, sitting room). The entire house is beautifully decorated in the Victorian style, with lots of furniture, busy wallpaper, and decorative items on the shelves, dressers and side tables. It looked great, but I was afraid to put any of my own things on the dresser because I thought I might overlook them amidst all the other items when it came time to leave.

Our host was very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast far surpassed our expectations. I would certainly stay there again.

The historic setting of the Perkins house was very fun to learn about—it has a unique history and the owners preserved it’s originality. It was decorated to the extreme with antiques and knickknacks which made it feel a bit cluttered and our bedroom was so full of things that there was not much room left to lay out our things. But the breakfast provided was delicious each morning and was very satisfying.

Absolutely gorgeous, brilliantly decorated and well looked-after BnB. It was an experience of its own, worth a trip! Amazing food, great wifi, A/C - everything you need for a great stay. The only surprise for us was a shared bathroom, but we wouldn’t trade this experience for any other option.

The Perkins House is a unique, historic B&B with friendly hosts, Gretchen and Keith. The inn has numerous interesting decorations. It is fabulous old architecture, with several parlors, two staircases, a butler's pantry, and other nooks and crannies. The room and bed were comfortable. We were in a smaller room, though, and it was fairly crowded. It was hard to find a surface to set anything down on. We were only there one night so it wasn't a big deal, but would have been harder to stay in that room longer. We shared a large hall bathroom, which was fine. The hosts supplied plenty of toiletries, towels, and everything we needed. Everything was clean and organized.
My favorite feature of the house was the hanging \"bed\" on the front porch. I laid down, swung, and enjoyed a lovely respite from the world for a bit, enjoying the cool breeze of the evening air and the sounds of the birds and community.
The breakfast was a highlight of our trip. Keith's grits and \"eggs benedict\" (his unique recipe with sausage, sausage gravy, and a corn muffin) was absolutely delicious and outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ate too much!
We would definitely come back and recommend the Perkins House to others.
