This place was SO perfect for our son's graduation . We avoided the high prices in Fayetteville and it was a short drive to the activities there. The Inn gives a charming European hostel vibe with such a sweet and helpful hostess who gave us recommendations for short hikes and walks around the area, to a local swimming hole and to the farmers market. Wonderful sitting areas.

Housekeeping was below what I expected. There dust bunnies under the bed and dead bugs on the sills. The breakfast items were minimal and dated-coffee beans were 2 years old. Very roomy and quiet since we were the only ones there. Very good bathroom facilities.

What a beguiling mix of eccentricity and sharp esthetic sensibility. The details can be odd, but they are all clearly connected by the couple's personalities. My room (Middle Eastern) was bright and comfortable. Last night, I appeared to be alone in the place, with its proximity to potentially menacing dolls in a crib (and deep, looming shadows down the entryway). Things might well have gotten spooky (and if I had the $$ and a production crew, this would be an amazing location for an indie-horror flick!) Instead, because the vibe was so clean and the aura so well-manicured, it was a perfectly tranquil, restful evening.

An adventure to remember

We had the most interesting an friendly stay at B & L. It was like staying in a curated historic boarding house. Leslie the owner/manager/decorator/"tour guide", was so helpful and patience with our group of 10 friends. each room was themed after a part of her family heritage and experiences. I highly recommend staying there.

Great stay!! We would definitely stay here again. The bed was very comfortable. We didn’t see or experience any ghosts but it definitely has some spookiness to it. If you are looking for a different kind of experience this is the place

This is a fabulous property. Built in 1887 and still has that historic feel. The owners are awesome and did a great job renovating the building. You must know that it has a large shared bathroom area, no bathrooms in individual rooms. This wasn’t a problem for us but something to be aware of. The bathrooms are well designed and still private spaces just not in your room. The beds are outrageously comfortable and the best towels I’ve ever used. There are no TVs anywhere and this allowed for a nice break and forced game and reading time. This is a must stay at place!

This is an historic building that has been restored and upgraded. It is quaint, charming and off the beaten path in the beautiful Boston Mountains in the Ozarks. Chester in on an old rail line that ran North/South along the Northwestern border of Arkansas from Van Buren to Fayetteville (Woo Pig Sooie). The rail line was the major transportation line until US highway 71 was built. The highway bypassed Chester so its economy collapsed and left this old boarding house/inn to languish until the folks who own it now have it restored. Now the new Interstate 49 runs by and it has had an impact on all the little towns along the old highway 71, but Chester can now be easily accessed by an off ramp. If you want an experience on your way to a Razorback football or basketball game, try it out. If you like a cookie cutter motel, this place is not it!

The in is an "experience" as it takes you back in time. From the minute you walk in and up the stairs you are transferred back in time. There are 11 rooms all on second floor and only one room with a private bath. Ladies and Gentleman have a separate area for private restrooms and bath areas. Each room has it's own unique decor (refer to website for complete description and don't forget to read about the history). There is no front desk as instructions are sent to you prior to arrival. Relax and think about the old west as you stay in this unique one of a kind inn!
