We love, love, loved our time at the mansion and using the common areas. Our room was great. The music and sunroom were my favorite parts of the mansion. Would love to come back next winter to enjoy some more relaxation!!

This place is such a gem. I was so impressed with how nice it was and convenient to book. There are rules to follow. Be courteous and be in the know prior to arriving so you don't look out of place. I would be happy to come back and visit the Cotton Mansion.

Beautiful old house. Nice and quiet. Room was nicely appointed. Love the big jetted tub but question the cleanliness of jets as when i turned it on, moldy sediment came out. The coffee machine in dining area was awesome but the treats put out were awful. Enjoyed our stay and i would definitely go back.

A very nice spot for a weekend stay, interesting old mansion that had a lot of character. Very clean and comfortable. Only concern was that we had neighbors in the studio apartment next door. There is very little sound barrier between the two apartments with only a door that separated our living area from theirs... that allowed us (and I'm sure our neighbors) to hear pretty much all conversations had. Area of improvement for privacy, sleeping comfort for guests in the murphy bed, and end of day relaxing just watching a movie.

Great communication prior to our arrival. The mansion was beautiful and conveniently located to all of the tourist activity. It was nice to be so close and have a quiet neighborhood to retreat to.

Imagine this as your home
This is a beautiful 100+ year old mansion. Being that it is over a hundred years old, it has some quirks. For instance, most of the doors to the entry and the suites need to be adjusted or planed, as they rub against the door frame. The hot water can take a couple minutes to actually be hot. Again this is a mansion that is over the century mark. I found our room to be spacious. I loved the high ceilings, the carved woodwork, oh, and the grand stairway...wow! I found the price of our stay to be well worth the opportunity to stay in a historical site. I found the continental breakfast to be marginal. The pastries were sub-par, the coffee in the dining room was okay. The selection and quality of fresh fruit was very good. Dining in the dining room, reading in the parlor and chatting with my wife in the solarium was grand, indeed. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
