I stayed at the Brackett House many times over the 4 years my daughter attended Cornell College, and we had a mixed experience each time. Sometimes, the service was friendly, other times very indifferent. The worst experience was during graduation, when I had reserved all 4 rooms over a year in advance, getting several assurances that this was OK. About... More

Our extended family of parents, teens and tweens took over all 4 rooms for a long weekend. The location is in very easy walking distance of Cornell College, local retail businesses, the post office, movie theatre, etc.. The rooms are charmingly furnished with antiques. We especially appreciated the porches, as it was a bit warm and we could sit "outside"... More

Great location when visiting college town. Located across the street from the Cornell College campus and a short walk to the quaint downtown area. Breakfast is complimentary and self-serve. Television access is limited, as it follows the campus listings, and available Wireless Internet access runs at a slow pace. Host, Mary, llives on site and is kind and easy going.

For the price of a fancy motel room, we had a room that was bigger than our bedroom at home, with a private, enclosed porch that was just as big! We stayed in the Medary Room, which has two queen (or double) beds, a full bath, the... More

Very reasonably priced accommodations in the historical district of Mount Vernon and a nice base for exploring the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area. Although owned by the college, the bed and breakfast is open to the public. Very quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the Garden Room, which has twin beds, private bath, wireless Internet, cable TV. It also has a... More
