Our room 'volume 1" was excellent. Large king size bed, love the double shower heads and comfortable couch. My suggestion is to have a box of tissues in the room/bathroom and have sugar or sweetener in the room to go with the coffee maker. I went out to get a up of coffee in the main house/lobby area, but there were no cups (ceramic or paper) to make a cup of coffee. It would be nice to have paper coffee cups "to go". Nice size desk if needed, but a pen or pencil with a small note pad would have been nice.

If you search charming in the dictionary, it’ll be accompanied by a picture of Kaleidoscope Inn. Since it’s an inn, there’s no front desk or reception. You receive the front door code and room code in advance. Even though it’s small, there’s still a roomy living room and kitchen, plus a large backyard. I’d definitely come back.

The place was charming and the room very comfortable and spacious. It had everything you need. The only complaint I would have is that because it is an old Victorian, every window and door is loos and there is no insulation whatsoever. That means that you can hear every sound from every room and even with a breeze the windows and doors rattle all night. I guess that's what old Victorians are like.

The property itself was very cool. Historic Victorian home, recently remodeled rooms, nice gardens. Just around the corner from Jocko’s (yummy!). We had a bit of a problem with getting our entry codes. They didn’t come from Expedia until after we got into the place. I had to text/call and leave messages and they did get back to me about 30 minutes before arrival. I was a bit panicked, since they don’t have anyone on site. But, it all worked out and we loved our stay. Breakfast was just OK, not great. Would stay again.

Disappointed…lacked service and attention.

We stayed in Volume 1 which is not in the property but in an adjacent structure tucked in the back of the property. It had some charms but was mostly devoid of amenities. The couch wasn’t a pull out but just a firm couch bench where the back lays flat. Linens weren’t provided for the couch so we had to call as there is no staff on site. Linens were kept in the main house and we were told to get them ourselves if we wanted it. Since we booked for three people I wouldn’t have expected self service to track that down. We got in late at night and found the linens had sand or powder of some kind on them. We think it was laundry detergent that didn’t get rinsed out. I itched all night but my wife slept. The black out curtains worked well and the shower was nice but the bathroom was otherwise cramped and would have been challenging for three people to share and get ready at the same time. The desk was small, the seats were small but had quaint charm. It is not a room I would expect one could work or study in if that was needed. You have access to common areas in the main building but not much private space in the room. There was a private patio with two chairs but in an otherwise plain fenced in area that I don’t think anyone would use. This is not a bed and breakfast, though it was in the past. We couldn’t eat in the morning. They had put three bagels out the night before but all were gone by when we got up. The keurig was lousy for coffee. Overall disappointing!

We would have preferred a couple extra bath towels for 2 nights but that is all. The place is quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. We would come back here.

My husband and I loved staying at the Keleidoscope Inn - a gorgeous and handsomely appointed Victorian house in a serene garden setting. Our room was simply beautiful, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom lovely and spotless. The hostess, Beki, is warm and attentive, and she's a good cook! (If you're good and hungry, try her hearty apple pancake for breakfast.) A tremendous value. I would stay there again in a hot minute.

Dit is een prachtige historische b&b. Het huis ademt veel sfeer en is prachtig ingericht. We hebben hier 3 nachten verbleven en vonden het heerlijk. Buiten het huis is er een grote tuin waar het lekker is om te ontspannen. Enige verbeterpunt is het ontbijt. Bij inchecken werd ons verteld dat er een keuzemenu is met verse gerechten die op verzoek bereid werden. Dit was alleen het geval toen Beki aanwezig was. De andere dagen werd ons dit niet aangeboden. Wel was er een beperkt assortiment brood en beleg. Verder dus een heerlijk verblijf.
