We stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting Miami University, Sweetie's alma mater, for her birthday and a football game. The place is amazing- a restored house (or maybe corner store?) fitted out with amazing rooms, done in just the right mix of period and contemporary styles. There's a common sitting room with TV, which we used on the first night when we had the place to ourselves. The dining room is big enough for a big family, and there's a full kitchen which you can use for anything. We just had coffee and heated up leftovers, but it is fully equipped. So, this isn't exactly a B+B- it's BYO Breakfast or whatever- but that works for us. We don't get up for anything at 7am, even breakfast, so a typical B+B can be a waste. This way, you do things on your own schedule.
The room was perfect. Comfy bed (though I don't think I would get a pillowtop myself- too poofy.) Dresser, etc., bath with separate shower and tub, everything we needed, done better than our own bed and bath. Free wifi and cable, little touches like good caramels; really, I can't think of anything missing or not up to par. Parking on a quiet side street or in a couple of spaces behind the house.
The owner was very friendly, and unobtrusive. She lives nearby, and Brookville is a nice small town. A decent mix of restaurants and shops (lots of places are closed on Sunday though.) Outside, there's a bit of a smell from the Owens Corning factory down the hill, but it wasn't noticeable inside. There's a big lake nearby and a few other attractions. We went ziplining five minutes away.
I heard they just did the renovation a year ago, and it is beautiful. Prices are reasonable for what you get- I think $85-120, depending on the room and the day of the week. Wish we could have stayed a week, it was so relaxing. We'll be back someday. read more
