Thank you Sam for such an enjoyable stay! We loved this bed and breakfast and can't wait to visit again. The house is beautiful and the rooms are as well, with a big comfy bed. Sam made us feel right at home and we loved chatting with her when we checked inGreat breakfast in the morning with coffee/juice and the grounds are a great place to take a morning walk. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area or even if you live in the area to experience history in a beautiful house!

This was our first ever stay at a B&B and Sam made it an absolute excellent stay. The rooms were clean and comfy. Sam made us feel right at home. Served us a delicious breakfast and told us amazing stories. Location is perfect for enjoying all the activities in Columbia.

What a cool visit. We came and were the only tenants in the house that night (went on a weekday - weekends are busier). There is 4 or 5 rooms total and we chose the Rose room. The whole house is like stepping in a time capsule in a way cool way! It is just a few blocks from the historic park downtown. The owner Sue is very friendly, conversational, and is pretty hands off which is nice.The bed was fine, bathroom good, room (loved the decor). There are deer, frogs, etc nearby VERY peaceful.For breakfast we had english muffin, eggs(any way you ask), bacon, and lots of coffee. She has coffee ready by 7pm.For dinner we recommend trying the place in town at the hotel. We also heard the mexican food place is decent. Jamestown and Sonora are nearby as well. For snacks and grocery Sonora will be your best bet there is a market and a grocery outlet there.

This place is wonderful! My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway and he chose the perfect location. Very peaceful but walking distance to Columbia State Park and some great eateries. Sam, the owner, is a gem! Her home reflects her warmth and spirit. She was attentive but not intrusive. Breakfast was delicious! We reserved are next stay and can't wait!

Just as awesome as I expected it to be. We had never stayed at a B&B before, so we were anxious and had high expectations. Harlan House met them all, and then some. My husband and I were visiting Columbia for a mini getaway and were lucky enough to get a room last minute here. We stayed in the Rose room and it was stunning. It felt more like we were staying at a friend's house than at a stranger's. The room was very clean with an early 1900's feel to it. There was even an air conditioner in the room (which is nice when it's 95 degrees outside) and a bathroom equipped with towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The decor was beautiful, and the bed was comfortable. The house is just a short walk uphill from the town of Columbia, but beware, the whole town seems to close around 5PM. With the exception of the saloons and one ridiculously expensive restaurant, nothing is open. The only saving grace was a Mexican joint right outside the town center...it was pretty delicious too. The old school house and cemetery are located directly uphill from the house, and are both sites to see. The owner, Sam, told us that she will be serving breakfast in the morning from 7:30 to 10:30, and for us to come down whenever we wanted. It was nice to have a bit of leeway and not have to stick to a strict schedule for breakfast. The breakfast was fresh and tasty. She offers your choice of meat, eggs, toast, hash browns, and fresh fruit. It was the perfect amount. What I liked most was that if you want your privacy, then you can certainly get it. If you want to socialize, it's there too. The common area is very welcoming, and the grounds outside are beautiful. Sam has made this lovely house a true gem, and we can't wait to go back!

I absolutely loved staying at the Harlan House. Since I'm allergic to cats we stayed in the cottage, where the cats don't go. We had the cottage to ourselves with its hottub, great view, and large bathroom! Sam is very kind and welcoming! She showed us around the property and talked about the town and the things to see. To our surprise she had laid out wine in a decantor in the room for us! The room even came with a VCR, a stack of movies, a mini-fridge, and games. My only negative is that the bathroom had a curtain that didn't fully lie closed, rather than a door.In the morning Sam made us a great, hot breakfast in the cute dining room before we took off. Overall it was a wonderful experience!

My wife and I LOVED this place. It really made our weekend romantic getaway special.The rooms are comfortable and equipped with gas fireplaces. Out the window was a beautiful view of blossoming trees. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The home was clean and neat except for a clutter of antique clothing and knickknacks that added to the ambiance.Harlan House, built in 1899, is an easy walk to the old downtown and is, literally, up the block from the historic school house & cemetery.On top of everything else, the price was amazingly low. We WILL be back!

So charming I can hardly wait to go back! My daughter and I stayed here and Sam was so lovely. She was just as charming and wonderful as her lovely home and this beautiful 1800's town.Just as we got our bags out of the car, I look out the window and there's a Doe and 3 fawns right in the yard, under a tree.A stone's throw up the road is an old cemetery that is cozy and well kept and just wonderful!Even though I was just there and it's about 6 hours away, I'm going back in a couple weeks because I would love to spend the weekend here with my boyfriend.
