Our reservations were canceled due to the corona virus. Unfortunately, we were not informed of this by expedia. Owners were very gracious and offered us a room, minus breakfast. We were delighted with the guest house and hope to return and enjoy their highly praised breakfast when life returns to normal!

We had booked one night with the Bennett House. We had planned to get a hotel somewhere south of Cincinnati the night before. Unbeknownst to us, every single hotel room from Cincinnati to south of Lexington had been booked. Many large events were taking place that weekend. After fruitless calls, we contacted the Bennett House to see if they had room for us a night early. They were full, but Mr. and Mrs. Smart moved out of their personal room to rescue us from spending the night in a Walmart parking lot. We were so grateful! The home is breath taking, the rooms welcoming, and the food was delicious.

Bennett House is a lovely historic home offering the best of everything for an overnight stay. The staff was very gracious. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully served to us at the time we requested--which was quite early. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again some day.

Awesome home with tons of character. The staircase in the entryway is stunning, and the rest of the house is furnished beautifully. Definitely a place to return when we travel back that way!!!

Great place for repeat visits.

We like being there inside and out. We wished we had more time to experience the house and grounds (gazebo and deck). We'd like to go back and stay in their units in the separate building behind the house. The area on the main floor with a fireplace was relaxing and enjoyable. Out room on the first floor was large with a sitting area, fireplace, TV & wifi,, and comfortable chairs. The bathroom was large. Our room and the whole house was neat and clean.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast

This establishment was our very first experience for a B&B and it was our honeymoon. What a treat, the structure really does take you back to the turn of the century, it is well kept, beautiful and comfortable. You are made to feel welcome immediately. It is close to restaurant establishments and was fun to walk the main city area. The room was large, well decorated with classic charm and comfort. Loved the journals left by prior guests so you can add your own personal experience. It was fun to read the comments of all the people who spent time there. We plan on going back in the near future. Thank you, Richard, and Rita for a delightful stay.

Beautiful Rooms!

Our small group of EKU alums booked almost all of the rooms for the weekend and we were thrilled with the beautiful rooms, excellent service and delish breakfasts. Rita and Richard are so gracious and we enjoyed visiting with them. We loved the guest house and found it to be very inviting. We'll definitely stay there again.

A cozy stay

We enjoyed the bed and breakfast very much. It is a beautiful building and we were given a tour by the owner when he noticed our interest. We were actually housed in a cozy cottage in the second building that was also lovely.
