Our stay at the Ringling House was most enjoyable and well worth the fee that we paid to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Have stayed at a number of B & B's over the years and will say that this one ranks as one of our tops. Great old-time structure that has been well preserved. Our hosts were very gracious in making sure we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful vintage home full of period antiques. Room #4 was small (as advertised), but we were fine with that. Our room faced 8th St., which is also alternate 90/94 at that stretch, so there was some traffic/truck noise. Didn't unduly bother us, but FYI. Weirdly there was no hair dryer so our 1st night I went to dinner with very wet hair. Luckily it wasn't that cold. (I could have knocked on the "Private" door to ask, I suppose, but didn't seem to rise to that level of urgency. When I did ask the next day, Julia said, "oh yeah, I took it out to give to another room and forgot to put one back". And then while I was looking for one, I noticed clothes (of a past guest I assume) in a dresser drawer, and when I pointed that out to Julia, she said "oh yeah, I don't always check after every guest." So both those comments gave me a faint sense that they're not as on top of things as they should be.... Also, FYI mattress in room #4 was very soft! But if you're into the Ringlings and the circus, this is a great place for you to soak up their history. For us (who had been there 10+ years ago and already did all the circus stuff), it was a very convenient place to stay for exploring Devils Lake trails, the Int'l Crane Foundation, and Parfrey's Glen.

Charming old house with high-ceilinged rooms beautifully decorated in the Victorian style. Our room was bright and pretty and overlooked the back yard. Bathroom was large with modern fixtures. Delicious gourmet breakfast at a big table with other guests. It was our privilege to stay in this house, which once belonged to Charles Ringling of Ringling Brothers fame.

One of the Ringling Bros owned this house so it was historical. I wanted to see the elephants at Circus World before they "retire" at the end of the season. Shopping around the square was fun. We live in a rural area where grocery shopping is about the limit. It was a great get-away.
