Hubby booked a 4 night stay for us at this lovely colonial Bed & Breakfast in Odessa, DE. We had…read morebeen traveling cross country from Las Vegas and he wanted to show me his childhood hometown of nearby Middletown. This is not a hotel were travelers just book a room in a large chain-hotel, this is an off the beaten path and an actual HOME on a small street with no sidewalks. I was struck on how warm and homey this place felt and how welcoming the Innkeepers (Jeff and Linda) were. We were even greeted by the newest Miller-Dunham resident, Avalon "Avi", a 6-month golden retriever who Jeff and Linda just adopted days before. We were shown to our room (The Commander which was clean, tidy and spotless with a beautifully spacious bathroom) and then showed the rest of the house and the beautiful backyard. If stepping out of reality for a weekend and into a quaint, peaceful and relaxing environment - this place is your bet! Evening was an enjoyable time to relax out in the backyard, especially when at dusk the firefly's start their evening lighting dances. The overhead strings of lights added a warmth, just making the place even more charming. Retiring for the night was easy, as the bedroom and bathroom gave hubby and I plenty of room to maneuver. Then settling into that bed, oh my gosh, super comfortable! I completely enjoyed sipping my coffee outside in the early morning sunshine and listening to birds where I could collect my rambling thoughts before breakfast and live in the present, gratified at the quality sleep that I had. Breakfast was called out at 8:30 each morning. Jeff and Linda work very well as a team to prepare and present wonderful breakfasts each morning and Avi was sure to greet each of us with her good morning smiles and tail wags. A couple of the breakfast mornings, there were other guests in attendance and Jeff and Linda didn't miss a beat in tending to each of us with warm conversations and smiles. They even took the time to modify their pre-scheduled breakfast menu for those who had food issues. It was wonderful to come downstairs each morning to the smells of something delicious being prepared in the kitchen for us. One evening, hubby and I walked two blocks to another historical gem, the Cantwell Tavern. We were given a discount coupon at the house so we wanted to check out the menu. It was like stepping back into the Colonial times as you explored this building. This was my first bed and breakfast experience and I hope now that this won't be the last. How can you not fall in love with this secret little place? You feel like this is a little like home, even with the house pet greeting you every time you return back. I highly recommend this B&B experience at the Miller-Dunham house and cheers to Jeff and Linda for making us feel welcomed and even a little sad as we said our goodbyes.

That is not the case! The grounds were completely overgrown- we had a hard time recognizing the house!! the inside is very dark, smells bad and unkempt. Our room was 'clean enough' but the mattress was awful- we got little sleep the two nights. We paid for a suite to relax in but there was no TV in that area so you had to sit on uncomfortable bed. The common area with snacks could have been nice but that was not clean. Needless to say we were very disappointed and felt they misrepresented themselves.

Bob was a gracious host and provided wonderful breakfasts. During the day, coffee, tea, sodas, water, and homemade baked good were available on the sideboard for guests. There was a refrigerator available where we kept a bottle of champagne. The history of the home is fascinating and you will enjoy the beautifully handpainted and stencil stamped ceilings which have been left unrestored since restoring them would eliminate some of their beauty. Sit on the front porch and watch the people go by, or sit on the back porch with a gorgeous view of the water. We will stay at the Inn at the Canal again, and hopefully in the near future!

A Hidden Gem with Historic Charm and Incredible Food!…read more If you love a local tavern with historic charm, a welcoming atmosphere, and food that truly delivers, this place is a must-visit! Every dish we tried was fantastic, and we're already talking about coming back. The wings tossed in chili sauce were hands-down some of the best wings I've ever had--packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The house-made chips with blue cheese were another standout, with the perfect crunch and a fantastic dip. But the real star of the show was the Zombie Burger. It was so incredibly good that it might just be the best burger I've ever eaten--and that's saying something! The brisket sandwich was excellent, too, and the fries were nice and crispy (although hand-cut fries would have taken them to the next level). To start the meal, the pumpkin martini was delicious and perfect for the season, while the house red wine was a great choice as well with dinner. Between the historic atmosphere, outstanding food, and great drinks, this tavern has everything you want in a local favorite. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, enjoy another round, and plan your next visit before you even leave. Don't skip the chili wings or the Zombie Burger! This place is an absolute winner, and we can't wait to return!

When we arrived at the circular drive to the 1860's Darlington Mansion our hopes increased. Innkeeper, Lori, met us at the door and toured us through the three stories of this well preserved and restored mansion. Inside we found a gorgeous home, well appointed with period pieces. Lori showed us all the rooms before taking us to the Percy Suite, an elegant area with a sitting room, walk-in closet, and gas fireplace. The bed was very comfortable and several windows made the spacious room feel even warmer. We travel often and have stayed in dozens of B and B's. We've learned the innkeeper can make or break your stay. Lori is a gem. She makes you feel welcome in all the common spaces and around the grounds, has a small frig for your cold items, and even offers a variety of wines for your enjoyment. We had a glass of Mondavi Cab. Quite nice. Each room has a guest notebook covering Lori's great 8 restaurants and area sights to see. Thoughtful and well done. We opted for her top choice, Vudu's Cajun Cuisine and had a great meal. In the morning she puts out coffee and tea at 7:30 am then serves up a mean breakfast at nine. We skipped lunch that day; we were so full. If you are in the West Chester area and love a romantic getaway, this place is a must. Lori also does wedding venues and business stays. We wish her the best of successes.

You can go back to my earlier review to see that I really enjoyed my stay at the Bookhouse at…read moreFaunbrook. However, I felt I needed to update my review based on a customer service issue that followed my stay. I stayed at hotel for a night in December 2025. Last week - ten months after I stayed there - I noticed the hotel charged my credit card for around $250. Since I had not made another reservation, I was very confused why the hotel had charged me. I immediately went to dispute the charge with my credit card but couldn't since it was still pending. So then I called the hotel. Someone answered the phone, and I explained the situation. They said they would pass the message along and I would likely hear back from someone within 2 hours. 24 hours later, I hadn't gotten a call back, so I called again and this time left a voicemail. They never called me back. I did dispute the charge with my credit card company and did research on my own while I waited to see if they would call me back. After looking through my credit card charges from December 2025, I could not find a charge for the Bookhouse at Faunbrook. My credit card company closed the dispute and reinstated the charge. What I now think happened is that they never charged me - 10 months ago!!! - for my stay and simply charged me ten months later. I'm basing that on the fact that I couldn't find a charge, but they never called me back so I can't be sure if that's what happened. I'm mostly upset that they didn't bother to call me back and explain what happened. Charging me 10 months after my stay? Maybe something happened and they had to do it, but I think that warrants a call back and an explanation. I've recommended this hotel to a friend who has already stayed here, but after this experience, I won't be recommending to anyone else. If you stay, be sure you are aware of when/how much you are charged for your stay, since they are clearly having some issues in this area.
