We loved the intact tiling in the bathroom, original floor, and hand-built bed headboard in the Western Room. Everything was sparkling clean. The modernized tiled kitchen is welcoming and sleek, and opens into a patio overlooking flowering native plants and many trees. Breakfast featured local breads, fresh fruit and exceptional bacon even a pescatarian can love. Best of all is the personable and knowledgeable hostess - we learned a lot about sustainable living and the people who live in this area. We stayed two nights, and cycled on the Cardinal Greenway each day.

My daughter and I stayed in the first floor room that was the home's original dining room, and it was so pretty with lovely wood paneling around the doors and ceiling, a beautiful large tiffany window, and perfectly chosen furnishings. I was able to see several of the upstairs rooms as well and they too were very nice. The breakfast was delicious with the best orange juice I've had in years. If we should ever make our way back to Indiana, we'll definitely stay here again. One additional note: the town of Richmond IN is FULL of gorgeous old Victorian houses that could be refurbished into veritable palaces, much like the Smith B&B. There are also charming cottages from the early 1900s. In a way, it reminds me of Savannah GA in that there are so many lovely historic properties. If historic preservation/renovation is your thing, (and you're lucky enough to be retired or to telework full time), you should definitely check it out.

But Jay and Charlotte were very welcoming and made sure our stay was comfortable. The screened in porch was full of toys and games that kept our kids (and us) occupied for hours. In addition to the fresh fruit cups, all the food Charotte and Jay cooked was exceptional- blueberry coffee cake, a breakfast cake that used the similar spices as carrot cake (cant remember the name, but chef's kiss), quiche, and breakfast casserole. And when one of our kids refused to eat anything with fruit in it, they provided him with cheerios! The rooms were spotless, and the beds were super comfortable. We really couldn't have imagined a better place to stay. Thank you!

Thank you, Brian and Teresa…read more Very comfortable accommodations. Attentive to everything we needed for a wonderful stay, including the Romance Package for our Anniversary. They even served Eggs Benedict for breakfast at our request. The Nautical room was very spacious with a private bath. Very comfortable bed and luxurious bedding and linens. The Doctor's Inn is just minutes from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. For being in a small town, we found no lack of enjoyable things to occupy our time. Good eateries ... American, Italian, Chinese, Mexican ... no shortage of choices. Remember to check out local events. We found a great show playing at Hall Auditorium on the Miami University campus. Harlem 100 featuring Mwenso & The Shakes on their national tour! Wouldn't have thought that. What an amazing blues and jazz performance. It made for an enjoyable evening you would expect in a large city center, only it was in a beautiful country college town. If you are nature lovers, like us, there are two state parks close by, Hueston Woods and Whitewater at Brookville Lake. Go for a walk and enjoy the scenery. If you are wine lovers, talk to Brian, he'll fill you in and might even share a glass (or two or three) with you. What a great place and gracious hosts.

I'm a city girl, and I was wary of going to an unfamiliar and very rural area, but as soon as I stepped foot into the bed & breakfast, I felt immediately at home. The first night I got there, it was pouring rain and I couldn't see well. I parked in front of the house and Tari kindly told me I could leave the car there until the morning and she showed me around and made me feel immediately at ease. Tari and Scott actually live off of a little road towards the back of the house, but they are within walking distance of the house and always accessible by phone if you need anything. The house is absolutely stunning and comforting, and it has all the amenities you could possibly need. Tari and Scott take great care of the house. It was always in immaculate condition. The furniture and fixtures are beautiful, and there is a fully stocked kitchen (you can take any of the food for the day free of charge--granola bars, crackers, fruit, deli meats, cheese, baked banana bread, bagels, tea, coffee, juice, soda, bottled water, wine, and more!). I practically ate an entire banana bread loaf that Tari baked during my stay because it was so delicious, and of course Tari and Scott will serve you a yummy breakfast every morning upon request. I had some of the best night's sleep in the room I stayed in too. Each room has its own thermostat and there was a comfy down blanket that I slept with every night for the three nights I was there. My drive to Miami U. each morning was less than 5 minutes, and every time I left the conference, I was excited to go back to the house! Tari and Scott are very kind and personable. They truly care about their guests' comfort and happiness. I highly recommend staying here over a hotel. The rates are comparable, and you get so much more from staying here. If I ever find myself in Oxford again, I will for sure stay here again.
