Beautiful, but hot.

It was a beautiful house. It was hot in the common area with no central air. The room had a window air conditioner that was noisy and ran all of the time. It was middle 70s outside. The furnishings were lovely, it was restored to perfection. We were there in late July.

This place is such a gem. I was so impressed with how nice it was and convenient to book. There are rules to follow. Be courteous and be in the know prior to arriving so you don't look out of place. I would be happy to come back and visit the Cotton Mansion.

Beautiful old house. Nice and quiet. Room was nicely appointed. Love the big jetted tub but question the cleanliness of jets as when i turned it on, moldy sediment came out. The coffee machine in dining area was awesome but the treats put out were awful. Enjoyed our stay and i would definitely go back.

MURPHY BED. DONT BOOK!

MURPHY BED, DO NOT BOOK!! Worst bed I have ever stayed on in a hotel or BnB. Our backs were toast after 2 nights! Floors were uneven and had large gaps in the hardwood. The bed had a negative incline toward your head, so while sleeping the blood would rush to your head, we slept upside down to avoid this. False advertising with the pictures showing a regular bed.

Very unique, clean and quiet. A few little issues but easy fixes. Main shower head had low pressure, leaked a little and took a long time to heat up. There was a shower head connected to the tub that had good pressure. Tv remote needs to be fixed, we thought it was dead and put it in the window to charge but that didn’t work. It was someone how not synced to the tv. Bathroom did not have a fan which isn’t ideal when it’s right near the bed, maybe an air freshener or something like that for future use. Other than those things which are minor the room was spacious and clean.

We have stayed here several times before when it was a B&B and had a great time. Not the same experience. No breakfast unless you pre-order it, which they don't tell you until afterward. Regardless, they decided not to have any breakfast because of the marathon, not just Sat. but also Sunday, which was pretty disappointing. They did have some muffins and scones out, the same ones each day and coffee. No warning was given. The most irritating thing was the lack of notice that a very loud (70-80 music band) block party was held Saturday afternoon until after 9;30 pm right outside our room! Of course then incredible price gouging due to the marathon, was ridiculous and not even having a breakfast. Jeez. Great room, no complaint there, but will try other options in the future.

Very nice. A few small issues, I had to attach the lift chain to the handle on the toilet about 5 times, and a little teflon tape at the shower head would help. Sorry if I had my tool kit with I would have taken care of these things for you.

Spectacular, immaculately maintained historic mansion. Suite (Vermillion) was on the 3rd floor, so pack light and/or have a pack mule Billy goat to carry your belongings. Well worth the climb. Spotlessly clean, historic details, the most comfortable bed and pillows, huge bathroom with Vermillion green tiled shower and massive sink. Huge closet with fridge and microwave and plenty of room to store luggage and coats. Could easily get accustomed to early morning coffee and pastries in the sunroom or on the front porch. Though the mansion was fully booked, we only ran into one other guest during the 3 days of our stay. A remarkable place to stay and will return again and again!
