Bennett House

This place is so beautiful. It's a Victorian mansion where the guest is always treated very well. The hosts, Richard and Rita, are wonderful people and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The house was orginally built by the Bennett family (William) whose wife was Sarah Clay, daughter to Cassius Clay, a well known emancipationist. Construction began around 1889. Sarah often traveled to Europe with her father (who was also minister to Russia) and used her European influences to stylize the home.

Unique Qualities: The breakfast they serve is fantastic. Very gourmet. The rooms are decorated impeccably. Another neat thing about the house is that the first Saturday of every month they host an English Tea. It's very charming-and more like a full meal. If you're in need of an interesting gift, the parlor has a small gift shop where many tea kettles and what-nots are sold, as well as items by local craftsmen.

If you stay at the Bennett House, you will also be downtown which means you can easily walk to Woody's, 1st Street, and various other downtown destinations.

Note: if you stay or go to tea, make sure you tell Richard and Rita that Rebecca says "hi"! :-)
