This home is beautiful inside and out, the rooms are spacious plus the beds are oh so soft and comfortable. The location is perfect, especially its closeness to the college my daughter attends, making it the most suitable and satisfying stay for us all. Our time spent was filled with peace, joy & comfort. On the early mornings and evenings, we would get in a little cardio by walking around the quiet, clean well-kept neighborhood or just to sit out on the patio and relax in a cool serene environment. All I can say is this is just a rare find, unique location top tier service and great host. This little paradise you have created is understated. I enjoyed every bit of my time there, it is the perfect choice when staying in Mount Vernon IOWA. I highly recommend this place. It's truly a gem. I also want to pray for you and your family that you will succeed in all your ventures, as you continue to be a blessing to others. -PKM-

Beautiful older home, well maintained, and very comfortable…read more Simple, clean lines with lots of porches and sitting areas - not fancy or overly full of decorations (which is what I prefer). We had a great time visiting here and were so grateful for the innkeeper, Kim, who was gracious, funny, and very attentive to our needs - really a lovely person. There was also a nice lady who maintained the rooms. Everything was nice: big fluffy white towels; excellent Continental breakfast; tea and cookies for an after dinner snack. The B&B is on the edge of the Cornell College campus and about a 5+ min walk from downtown Mr. Vernon (with a charming main street). For anyone visiting Mt Vernon I would highly recommend you contact Brackett House for a stay. I would love to return and enjoy this relaxing house again!

She was professional, but kind of cool and not particularly friendly or conversational when I attempted to engage about the local area, the hotel, etc. The other reason for a one star deduct is that there is just about nothing else conveniently located to the hotel. Food, etc, you are basically on your own. No restaurants or anything. Each of those things merit a half star deduction in my mind, total of one down. I'd stay again. Likely it had just been a long day for the person checking us in. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Excellent access to the highway. 4/5 for sure, which is pretty good.

These are the sorts of accoutrement one would expect at a $225/night urban hotel but not in a small, inexpensive establishment, where a single occupancy room w/queen-size bed cost a mere $65 a night! This place is a hidden gem that's well worth seeking-out; it's a bit off the beaten-path of the interstates but if you need a place to stay in Clinton County -- this is surely a good option.
