    Our stay was INCREDIBLE!…read more First, apologies on how long it took to get to this review. It's been go go go since we returned. However, our stay here was so amazing that it hasn't left our minds. So, the "bed" part of bed and breakfast? So comfortable! The rooms were amazing and had such a sense of history. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. Vintage wallpaper and bed dressings give you the full effect of traveling in time to a bygone era. The showers and bathtubs were great. The tubs were the claw foot standalone type tubs and not the typical Home Depo special you get in motels and hotels. There's just something about showering in one of those tubs that takes you back. However if you want to use them, there are indeed wonderful modern jacuzzis available in the rooms as well which are super relaxing after a day of walking around and sightseeing and shopping. Things were very comfortable inside despite it being very hot and so humid outside. And there were extra fans if you needed them and you wanted to stay cooler too. The furniture is actual wood and not the cheap particle board stuff used with in so many places today. The wood just feels "rich and elegant." From the outside, you get such a sense of history. The place is absolutely beautiful. Now... the "breakfast" part of bed and breakfast was so filling. You will eat like you've never eaten before and will want more but won't have the space to put it. I wish we could have stayed an extra day even just for the food. The owner asks about your preferences and needs and does such a great job with the food. She makes a killer sweet tea as well! The place was remarkably maintained and the owner was so welcoming. She felt like a family member we haven't seen in so long, like a grandmother to us and our kids. She was super flexible about the check in and check out times as well, enabling us to get a quick shower in before leaving so that after sight seeing we didn't need to sit in our sweaty clothes for the next leg of the trip. We so much wanted to stay longer! It was such a great experience there is no doubt that we will stay here every time we come to Metropolis. Oh and I should mention that when you stay here, you do get admission to the Superman museum included in the cost which is just icing on the cake. So really, why are you still reading? Book a stay. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, fifty stars, five hundred stars!

    If I could rate this fabulous bread and breakfast a 10 star review I most definitely would. Lori…read morewas gracious and informative that made our stay in Metropoles one to remember.

    Cute B&B on the Ohio River. Nothing too fancy, but nice enough and clean. Breakfast was good, but…read moreonly available at 8:30am - is that normal? Some rooms go out into the terrace, but we got the Suite, whose door led to the the hallway into the stairway into the dining room. It was a big, two room suite with a nice four post bed and a very teeny tiny bathroom with only a stand up shower. Cool Gazebo on the River. Small town with not much in it - no restaurants or anything. I got hungry around 9pm and had to go to the local bar and they warmed up a frozen pizza for me. yay. The parks in the area are a lot of fun, esp. Garden of the Gods - I'd say that was my favorite thing I saw around here. River Taxi looks interesting, but didn't have a chance to ride it. Definitely would have been fun to have a boat to cruise the river with.

    We found this place purely by accident on the way to Cave in Rock in June. We're familiar with the…read morearea, but had never stopped at this particular place. The proprietor gave us a tour and we made a note to try it out in the fall, which we just did. The building's from 1812, but very nicely redone while keeping its old charm. The location is incredible, right on the river, and it's a great base from which to explore the whole region. Great little floating catfish restaurant next door. Town itself is mostly dead, but we still had fun walking around it and spending a few bucks in a couple of places. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, and they gave us clues on other places to visit. Wi-fi. No kidding. ANd it was pretty good. We mostly had the place to ourselves, and in fact we were the only ones in the building the last two nights, which is a little weird, but locked up nice and tight. The walls are a little thin, wondered what it would be like if they were crowded, but we lucked out. Everybody we dealt with was so nice. It's not a Hilton, it's a refurbished and very old place. But they seriously did a great job. Looking forward to a return visit.

    My 7-year-old son & I stayed here on April 4 thru 7, 2015 for quick-but-comfortable access to the…read moresights of the spectacular Shawnee National Forest (if going, try the Garden of the Gods Backpacker Parking and Rim Rick to Pounds Hollow Trails). Bruce and Sue were extremely accommodating. In fact, Bruce let me usurp his garage spot to charge my electric car (they refused to take money for the electricity usage). Sue's breakfasts were also top notch. Lastly, the grounds and proximity to river views were exceptional. I rated this 5 stars not because it is perfect (the décor was dated and the toilets and showers were small) but because it fully met my expectations given the price (only $130/night for the large Captain's room and high-quality breakfast for 2) and the age of the building (the house is over 100 years-old). I'd happily pay 20% more if they opted to refresh the décor (e.g., wallpaper, improved baths). We will return either way

With limited lodging options in the beautiful Shawnee National Forest, this was a hidden gem. We truly enjoyed the company of the owner and other guests as we relaxed on the porch. Breakfast was a wonderful treat thanks to Sue's culinary skills. Our only complaint was the bed in our room (the Quilt Room) was very worn out. We were told it was about to be replaced--definitely needed! It sound like other rooms were more updated on beds. We loved the house and owners and would love to return.
