It was very much enjoyable with pleasant company and good conversation. We felt like we were family. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. We also appreciated the directions you gave and the history of the area. You were very informative. We pray for your health and hope to see you again. Thanks for everything. We pray God's blessings on Monarch B&B. Noel and Sharon.

Breakfast in the morning was great, my only criticism would be that they should tell the guests what time breakfast is so its not cold when they get down there. Thomas and Janet were very accommodating and told us all their favorite covered bridges and cute things to do in town while we were there. Conveniently located to the downtown area. Can't say enough good things about this place. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely be staying with Janet and Thomas. PS - we are a multi-racial couple and going to small towns in Southern/Central Indiana can sometimes be a concern for us. We had absolutely no problems staying here.

The produce they use is grown there organically and Holly and Isaac could not be more friendly or welcoming. Be aware this is a rural area and this is not a hotel but a private home. Glorious!

Amazing place to book! Holly was amazing and very accommodating. Would definitely book again.read more

I attended this venue for the first time last Saturday, for a lovely outdoor wedding…read more The grounds were beautiful and the timing was perfect. It was a 4:35 wedding, so it was starting to cool off. They have an arbor under which the bridal party stood, and the attendees face west. But because of the tree line for the woods (with creek below that) that run along the west side of the building, there was beautiful speckled shade, and we were not facing any harsh sun. The grass and perennial planting beds were in very nice condition. The receiving line was held outdoors as well, at the entrance to the building on the circular drive under the large open roof. From there guests could see that the catering company (separate contract) set up the beautiful pool patio for a short reception while the wedding party and families did additional pictures. This was perfect because, inside the bar was already open and outside we had tea, water and hors d'oevres to pass the time and visit with other guests. Again, this outdoor area was lovely. There was a lot of standing room and only a handful of chairs and tables. They might consider adding more for an event like this. The front has double doors to/off the foray. Indoors, the facility is painted a cheerful yellow, and the open-beam construction is so pretty that you don't need to dress it up with a lot of decorations. The place is full of windows in the front near where the catering set up food on one side and the wedding cake on the other. But the real show stoppers are the picture windows on the west side. They set up the bridal party table in front of the windows, and I'm sure the pictures were beautiful. It's definitely got an upscale lodge feel (hence the name) with a stone hearth on the south end of the hall and a loft on the north side, where the DJ sets up. That was fun because as the wedding party was announced again at the reception they got to file down the stairs and dance across the dance floor to their seats. The staff was friendly and one even helped with cake cutting, though that apparently wasn't arranged before the event. The caterers (just okay) refused to cut the cake. The bar had a cute chalkboard display furthering the classy country vibe. One thing to consider for us ladies is to get dropped off at the front if you're in heels. The parking lot and the walk to the facility itself is course gravel. It could tear up nice shoes. Beautiful venue on pristine grounds. I just wish it was closer to Indy but I get that not everything can be!

They have the capability to serve sit down meals and to have a full bar. It got a little noisy for me so I took a little walk outside. I don't know who was more startled--me or the big at least ten point buck that was getting a drink if water. If you are planning an event in this area, you MUST check this place out. Two thumbs up! OMG. This place even has a dedicated propane fueled 20 kilowatt back up generator. I'm in LOVE.

This was my first time to the area and was going off reviews on the internet, which means I was ready for ANY experience around turkey Run to be just awful. Well, when I called to make the reservation, the gentleman on the phone was very polite, efficient, and helpful in selecting a camp spot. We loved our little spot. Now there's not much room between you and your neighbors but it's to be expected of the electric sites. There are primitive spots that seemed to have a bit more privacy. Bathrooms were as clean as you could expect and the shower was free...pretty cold but refreshing after a long hike. Camp store was great, reasonable prices on everything and pretty well stocked. Ice was actually cheaper there than at home (by $.50 but still cheaper!) had no issues with checking in or purchasing from the store. Everyone was helpful and polite. And the "creepy guy in a cart" is security making rounds. He's really nice if you talk to him. We would stay here again.

Just figured that I would just find myself a shuttle service, although I have been kayaking already for about a month or so, I didn't know that they have a season for it and I was about a week to early. No problem I just wasn't able to go kayaking today but I will be back definitely, I'll just have to do better next time. I'm used to self shuttling. Got some cool souvenirs from the gift shop.

Brookie is an artist and the house has great country charm. It was a treat to stay in their "quilt room." Alan, a retired music professor I believe, played the piano for us, and Brookie made us a terrific breakfast. The grounds were lovely. We enjoyed the tour of the Mill and the grounds with Alan. I have always wanted to go back and see them again, but it looks like they are not currently taking guests. We saw no dust, no signs of hoarding, no piles of junk--nothing like that! I don't even remember their being a cat. We had the most pleasant stay you could imagine. I hope all is well with Brookie and Alan and their lovely country inn.

It's rare to find accommodations in Parke county during the festival with only 2 weeks notice, so I was excited when this new listing popped up. What started as a convenient place to stay turned into one of the highlights of our trip! The house was originally built in 1829 and has been completely renovated and restored by the owner Tammy. She even made a photo book that documents before, during, and after the renovation process- I definitely exclaimed "wow" more than once while paging through. The house itself was sparkling clean and just a delight to spend a night in. There are two guest rooms upstairs- each with their own bathroom for privacy- and also a common area for guests with coffee and beverages, snacks, breakfast bars, games, TV/DVD player/fire stick etc etc. The B and B is located in the small town of Montezuma, IN- there is a lot of history in the area, and you'll also find yourself in the covered bridge capital of the world! The town was very quiet- both my mom and I slept 9 HOURS STRAIGHT, which is some kind of record for the both of us, especially my mom who is a light sleeper. The bed was super comfortable to boot. In the morning Tammy prepared a delicious breakfast and was happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. Tammy and her friends who joined us for breakfast were a lot of fun to chat with, and gave my mom and I all kinds of tips for local sights and things to do. I'd recommend this historic B and B for work travel, couples, girls trips, or anyone who wants to experience this beautiful slice of Indiana! Seriously, if your travels bring you to Parke or Vermillion county then look no further for a place to stay!
