The blend of period furniture with modern amenities was tastefully done. We enjoyed the two person jacuzzi. Dove Toiletries were provided and the convenience of a private bathroom was appreciated. Linens and towels were very clean and fresh and the bedding was warm and regal. Breakfast was omelettes cooked to order with fruit and juice. Coffee was good and available in the foyer as well as the room and bottled water and an assortment of tea and soda was provided in the foyer. The parlor was comfortable and the original stained glass was gorgeous. We intend on returning to stay with the Goolsbys again.

Seeing few hotel choices in Pittsburg (and none that inspired me), I opted for a bed-and-breakfast…read morecalled the Himmel House. I can't say "splurged" because it cost little more than an average hotel room, and the cooked-to-order homemade breakfast was much better than you'd find in a hotel. Sherri and Jeff are incredibly gracious and intuitive hosts: there when you need them, but otherwise, they let you be. The porch alone of this rambling abode is larger than some San Francisco apartments, and every window of my room looked out upon lush greenery. I slept well in the big bed and thoroughly enjoyed the historic feel of the Himmel House. Couples will love this B & B, and business travelers take heed: a place like this is a welcome break from hotel life. You won't regret staying here.

Let me preface this by saying that this was my very first bed and breakfast experience. I've always…read morebeen reluctant to stay at a bed and breakfast because, frankly, I go on vacation to get away from people in general, not hang out in a house, share a bathroom, and a dining room table with them. In this case though, we were more interested in the idea of staying somewhere haunted. Well, if there is such a thing, this probably isn't haunted. Formally creepy? Absolutely! But the former owners restored the building, added the necessary amenities for a bed and breakfast and eventually sold it to it's current owners who operate it as Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast. We got there after a long, hot road trip and were really grateful the building was comfortable on such an oppressively hot day. We got a brief tour, told about breakfast and were shown to our rooms. The room was formally the school auditorium (sounds enormous but it was merely really large - remember, this is an 1800s school.) and was well appointed. To make a long story short, the owners were kind and thoughtful. Really, B&Bs probably just aren't my thing. It's a little too much like staying at someone's house for my tastes.

But this year, my significant other decided at the last minute to join me. While separately searching, we both found this gem, BarDew Valley Inn! And what a find it was! The owner, Perry, was exceptionally accommodating to us and the other guests. Our room, New Orleans, was absolutely stunning! The daily 9 am breakfasts were prepared with care and incredibly scrumptious. The house was beautiful and nightly movie nights in the Theater always the best way to top off the day. Thank you Perry for an extraordinary experience.

Perry is a wonderful, sociable, hospitable innkeeper!…read more BarDew Valley Inn is about 7-8 miles outside the Bartlesville city limits, about 45 minutes north of Tulsa and near the pioneer woman headquarters, for those who are into that. There are several themed suites. I stayed in the New York suite, which was a cleaner, more modern feel with several NYC motifs. There is also a New Orleans suite, a cowboy suite, and a French suite. He is currently working on an Asian themed suite. Each suite has its own bath and private entrance, as well as patio space to enjoy the evenings. There is wooded space and a pond out front with sitting areas. Very quiet and on a dead end, so no traffic. The rooms have comfy beds, wonderful, luxurious bedding, and a mattress warmer, which I loved! Each room has a refrigerator and Perry supplies bottled water, a keurig, coffee pods, glasses/cups, an ice bucket, extra blankets. A booklet with info on local restaurants and attractions. Everything you'd need! While I stayed here for work and kept to myself, Perry checked in with me often to make sure I didn't need anything. Other guests used the common areas more, like the movie room/game room and the kitchen. One night Perry built a fire in the fire pit. It would be a great place for people who want to socialize and meet new folks. Perry also makes breakfast every morning. I had to start work very early, so didn't partake, but other guests have raved about it. Perry really does open his home up to everyone and is very gregarious and gracious. It would be a great getaway for anyone wanting to explore the area. My suite was 139 a night, a great value.
