My husband and I spent the night at Elfindale for our anniversary. It is a beautiful old Victorian mansion. The rooms were nice but a little warm. My husband and I did not sleep well but that can just be chalked up to missing our bed at home. The staff was friendly but a little difficult to find and the service seemed slow. Breakfast was ok but not nearly up to the standards of what one would expect at a bed and breakfast. My husband and I sat alone in the dining area for about 10 minutes before a staff person came along and apologized that breakfast was delayed. She came out five minutes later wtih a plate for each of us with scrambled eggs, two sausage links, a muffin and some grapes. That was the extent of our breakfast - not quite what we expected for the price we paid. It was a nice place to visit once, but only worth about 1/2 of what we paid for it and not a place we feel we need to return to.

Women will love the romantic atmosphere and the varied, non-traditional decorating. Men will like its close proximity to the HQ of Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and that there are 2 suites that are masculine in decor. No two rooms are even remotely the same; not in size, shape or colors. The weekend full breakfast is great and the staff pays just the right amount of attention. Direct TV in the rooms. No pool, but didn't expect one at a B & B.

The Mansion at Elfindale is beautiful, historic and a great value for the money. I would like to go back and stay in other rooms just to experience them. We had a suite on the first floor. It was beautifully furnished and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only elements we missed were the following: no desk in the room and a very small closet. But these were almost insignificant in terms of our stay. I would highly recommend staying at the Mansion. It is owned by a church and there is a chapel and two churches on the premises.

This place offered us a great night while passing through. The staff was wonderful, they took time to tell us the story of this historic B & B. If you are looking for a historic place, in the city, this would be it. The rooms are beautiful - Victorian style furnishings and each one unique. We stayed in one room with 2 queen beds and it was very spacious. Our friends were on the 1st floor with one king bed, also tastefully decorated. Breakfast was ok - I was expecting something a little more, seeing as how we were in a B & B. But, it was cooked to order and plentiful. We were free to wander this mansion and check out the other rooms if they were unoccupied. They also gave us a tour of the church on the grounds the morning we left. When we checked in, they were hosting a wedding party - but it was really not a problem. There were lots of guests though, for the wedding, downstairs. The place was quiet, a small distance from the main road running through town, but very secluded. The grounds are extensive, they could spend a little more effort on grounds upkeep, but other than that, they are also nice.
