Lovely, historic property with outstanding service and super clean rooms. Beautiful newly renovated bar and restaurant with high quality delicious food. Just a minute or two from highway 75 for easy on/off convenience. Competitive room prices when compared with the chains. Definitely stay here instead! Highly recommend and this place will be our new stop over while travelling this route.

The hotel never got our reservation from Expedia, but Seth and Bill handled it beautifully and got us a room. Then, the lock was broken and we couldn’t get into the room, so Seth found us another room.

It’s a lovely place with beautiful flowers. Tastefully decorated. Disappointed in the beds. They were not very comfortable. There wasn’t any shampoo in shower but you didn’t realize it until it was too late. The dining room was being renovated so that too took away from the experience. Overall though we love going to Berea.

We checked in for one night. The staff was awesome, upgraded our room with no charge. Beautiful historic hotel. The front porch is a great place to relax in the evenings...or lounge in one of the several living areas on the main floors. I would stay again for sure!

Beautiful old hotel. Note that it has nothing to do with Daniel Boone…it’s just named after him. Restaurant was apparently just renovated, but we found the menu to be very limited.

Return to Grandmother’s house

It’s a historical room but good value. The restaurant is always good. Had eaten in the restaurant numerous times but never stayed at the hotel. Clean and convenient but old.
