“Amazing (for those with discerning taste)!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Look, if you book a stay here thinking it's a lovely little B&B then you're a moron and no one cares about your opinion.

However, if you are a Lizzie Borden fan (or a true crime buff, or a paranormal buff or a Victorian history buff) then you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

The owner and the staff are amazing and truly love the house. The tour is great, the rooms are great. Of course Fall River is a dump, but who cares??? Of course the tour guides try to spook you a little, but they're having fun. Remember fun??? And although they are a bit cheesy they're EXTREMELY knowable and probably know more about that house and those murders than you know about anything, so give them a break and take a chill pill!

If you are interested in the Lizzie Borden House, BY ALL MEANS GO -- it will be one of your favorite experiences ever! If you're looking for a Martha Stewart experience please stay away and don't spoil our happy place.

“Just Do It, Scaredy Cat”

Absolutely the most unique stay we've ever had. Not to mention the creepiest. Our host was Shelli and she truly made it a great experience. We sat in the parlor while she re-told the story of the murder, trial and aftermath then she took us on a tour. Try to go on a Friday when she is there. The room was very comfortable for a crime scene. Unfortunately the breakfast was a disappointment. I had read in a couple of places that the Borden's last breakfast was duplicated. It wasn't except for the johnnycakes. Also it's served at 8:00 and if you're a bit late you get cold scrambled eggs. Finally we got a late start because the gift shop opened late and I wasn't about to miss that. Unfortunately the cashier wrapped my coffee cup in a couple layers of paper and it got shattered in my luggage. So I would have to say the evening and night were great. The morning not so much. So go see Shelli, spend the night and next morning skip the breakfast and head over to Al-Macs Diner.

Room Tip: Be aware in advance that the bathrooms are shared. Normally that would be a dealbreaker.

“Cross it off your bucket list and visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

My mother and I stayed in early June 2011 and had a great visit. You get a night tour when you stay overnight and nothing is missed. I think it's awesome that you can take as many pictures as you wish!! Seriously, go ahead and book and you wont be disappointed! Oh and the breakfast the next morning is great! Check out the Boston Bakery in downtown -- super yummy!

“Amazing Tour”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

It was just two of us in the whole place and we got the extended tour, our guide (I want to say Neal) was just great, he really knew the case inside and out. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but we weren't really there for comfort, so we didn't mind.

The Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast was amazing. The tour of the place was so informative, food was great and staff was fun and really wanted us to get the most out of our trip! If you are interested in history or ghosthunting , this is the place to go for sure!

Room Tip: I stayed in the John Morse room. Really helped with the experience..all I am going to say
