The mansion is beautiful and the accommodations were excellent. The house itself could use some tender loving care but, when one considers the cost of maintaining a home of that size and age, the simple fact that it is being preserved is exciting. Ernest made the stay wonderful, he went out of his way to help in anyway he could.... More

We were uncertain when we arrived, but the caretaker did in fact take care of us. Probably your best shot in Petersburg for overnight accommodation. And hey, Joseph Cotton lived here.

For $105 a night, it was a real steal compared to what we pay around Washington and Baltimore (where it would have been easily $250+). We loved it ! We stayed in the Evelyn Room. We are a big fan of old houses and this... More
