The Painted Lady

This bed & breakfast is a delightful change from the typical hotel. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found Sharon and Steve's marvelous property while our daughter went to school in Ottawa. We enjoyed all of our trips to Ottawa primarily due to the accommodations offered by this incredible couple. Breakfast was always top-notch and the bedrooms were consistently comfortable. There's plenty of room around the house and property for relaxing. The hosts are as available as you need them to be and amenable to any requests. This B & B exhibits the small town charm just a short drive from KC and will always be my primary choice during future trips to the area.

I came to visit family. The only hotels they have in town are outdated and drive up to your room types. I found this B&B amongst the hotel list and I'm grateful I did. It's an adorable Colonial style house that was built in 1898. It was Designed by George Washburn. You'll find a statue of him downtown. The original hardwood floors are still in immaculate shape and not a speck of dust seen. There are lots of stained glass and beveled windows. They have 3 rooms upstairs on the second floor for rent. One has a private bath and the other two share a bath. It has a spacious shower with a raindrop faucet and optional hand held. They have goat milk shampoo, soap, and lotion. It was a nice touch. The family lives on the third floor. The sponsors served breakfast at 9 am with scrambled eggs, banana nut muffin, bacon, fruit, option of yogurt, and coffee, water, and the option of juice. More than enough. FYI. There is a house with a very similar appearance to the pictures one block before you get here, also on the corner. The B&B has a sign on the front porch.
