    One suggestion would be to install a handicap handle/grip in the shower. There was nothing to hold onto when entering or leaving the tub/shower.

    We went there to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary, The host Jim made us feel very welcome. We were served a wonderful breakfast each of the two mornings we were there (same menu both mornings). The Morning Glory room was very comfortable and on the first floor. We were enthralled with the guinea fowl that were freely roaming around the property.

    Caulking around spa in room and floor up to shower. And deck and stairs to the entrance. I do home maintenance for a living. So I pick places apart. Perhaps way more than others. So if that’s my biggest complaint. We’ll call that a champagne problem

    The breakfast was amazing. I went to culinary school in the 90s. So it’s very difficult for me to get excited about anyone else’s cooking. But their scrambled eggs were a revelation.

    Great location, right between Columbus and Nashville- perfect to visit both. Loved the soaking tub and beds were comfy.

    The only thing I’d say I didn’t like is that we didn’t book soon enough to choose our room, unfortunately. I would’ve loved to book the room with the jacuzzi for my husband and I to use on our honeymoon.

    The breakfast was fabulous, I’m still trying to perfect my own scrambled eggs to replicate their’s! It was also really convenient to wake up and have breakfast being made for me on the same property.

    Didn't see any water. I do not drink juice and that would have been helpful on table or at Station. The portion were plentiful, but extra toast, bread, or 3nds would be welcome. Host (Jim) did say we.could call out for anything, but he had left area and I didn't feel comfortable bothering him.

    Breakfast was delicious and Beverage Station was very clever. Many coffee and tea choices. Juice was on table.

    Enjoyed shopping at Nashville for my birthday. Loved the food at the Artist Colony. Beautiful room at Lil' Bear Bed and Breakfast. Enjoyed jacuzzi bathtub and the adorable fireplace heater. Wine glasses for 2 and a fridge to chill my wine. Spent next day at Edinburgh shopping after a wonderful breakfast. Delightful stay!

    There was only one bedside table, but we made it work. The walls seem a bit thin.

    The room was very clean and comfortable when we arrived. The owner and his wife made a wonderful breakfast for all of the guests in the morning. They took in our dietary restrictions as well and made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was available for us to use as well. The inn is only about a 10 minute drive from the Brown County state park and about 13 minutes from Little Nashville, which is a super cute part of town.
