We loved the log cabin type of atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and made us feel right at home. The grounds of the property were well groomed. Had a very good night's sleep!!!!

Wonderful
Amazing place to stay. Such a graciously well maintained place. Staff was welcoming and so helpful. Breakfast food was so beautifully served to order. Was very pampered. Stairs up to second floor rooms are extremely steep. Not good for those that have issues. Book on the ground floor instead. Stay here, it is wonderful.

Check in instructions were clear and helpful. Cookies and popcorn brittle waiting for us were great. Breakfast was amazing, flavorful and ready quickly. I had the poached pear with yogurt and their special granola along with the special Quiche of the day. The jetted tub and steam shower in the Mr & Mrs Graves suite were both very enjoyable too.

Amazing stay for anyone who has an appreciation of history and desires a B&B experience. Wonderful staff and fabulous gourmet breakfast all combined with the feeling of having stepped back in time but with the conveniences and updates of a modern property! Will definitely return when in the area again!

One of the Best Bed and Breakfast places we’ve ever stayed. The amenities were Wonderful!! We enjoyed a wonderful time around the gas fire pit. Complete with graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars to make s’mores. The food was Amazing!! You actually ordered your breakfast from a menu and your food was cooked fresh. The Staff was great!! No expenses were spared💗💗

Mediocre Stay At Best
First off, their breakfast and staff were absolutely amazing. But there were a few things that made the trip just ok. There was nothing really deluxe about our deluxe room. The room was very small and contained only a queen size bed. No thermostat in the room and the snacks were $2 per snack. Many other bed and breakfasts offered free snacks and definitely allowed me to control my own temperature. Sure the bathroom contained an oversize jetted tub, but that doesn't justify deluxe room to me. Not many nearby restaurant or shopping options. I didn't hate it but I definitely didn't love. Don't see myself coming back anytime soon.

Very comfortable B & B close to Cincinnati.
The room was immaculate and very welcoming. Furnishings were uniquely beautiful. Sheets and bedding were almost too comfortable. Breakfasts were some of the best we have had the pleasure of partaking. Attention to detail of staff and Chef/owner Jennifer were remarkable. Will return when in the area again!

Burlington's Willis Graves B&B was a wonderful experience. Our room was tastefully decorated and the bed was exquisite. The jetted tub was relaxing. The breakfasts Jennifer prepared were superb. I would highly recommend a stay at Burlington's Willis Graves B&B.

A rare treat for discriminating foodies.
Burlington is a one street town with one surprisingly decent restaurant and some interesting antique shops. The B&B is really nice with a future looking owner who happens to be a genuine chef. Breakfast part of the deal is truly an experience not to be missed. The breakfast menu is very special and a culinary delight. The owner/chef will also make just about any combination including a Bob Evans style breakfast. But if I were you I'd try something different. You will be glad you did. In the room we had, it included a lounge complete with a gas wood fireplace surrounded by period antiques. The place has a lovely clean historic feel to it. Take a book.

We were in the area to visit the Creation Museum and The Ark (which were both excellent). The Willis Graves house was very convenient to the Museum, just a short country-ish drive. The Willis Graves B & B was very quaint (mid 1800's?) but very comfortable and well equipped - the attached bathroom was modern and convenient. The breakfast was excellent and the atmosphere very friendly. We would recommend it.
