My daughter and I spent a night here after a long drive through heavy and windy rains. It was a great place to rest and recover. I loved our room, the beds were comfortable and we had an enjoyable dinner in the restaurant/bar downstairs. The staff was friendly and helpful and we hope to stay again. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in the area.

Interesting Inn

The room was interesting. The beds were comfortable. The owners were an amazing family. Being the 1st time at this type of lodging was a little disappointing. The description said breakfast included served 8 to 10. This ended up being a bagged breakfast with a sandwich to be microwaved in your room. We were told garbage could be brought down to the front desk. The restaurant had limited hours. Pretty hefty fees were charged for limited services.

Golconda Mansion House

Golconda Mansion House was amazing! Cool, huge old Victorian house right by the Ohio River that was beautifully decorated. Many different kinds of wine and beer. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful opportunity to experience an historic, old home. Mansions like these, if still standing, are rarely available to the public. If you love old homes, and appreciate those who are working hard to keep them standing, you should visit and enjoy a nice stay. The mansion has interesting rooms to explore and a great place to stay while becoming familiar with this beautiful region.

Very nice people but a more disappointing experience I cannot imagine. We paid $347.60, including a not previously shown $49 "property fee" for 3 nights, to include a free breakfast. The more notable low points: while using my laptop in bed the first night a cockroach crawled across the screen. There was a live bug in the bath tub. Dead bugs on the floor under the bed. Owner's comment was "this is southern Illinois". First day breakfast was a nondescript potato and ham casserole, cartons of yogurt, tiny oranges and lukewarm coffee with only powdered creamer and sweeteners-no juice or toast or anything else. Second day was dry biscuits and sausage gravy, same coffee and yogurt. No butter, no jam, no juice. Third day I drove 30 miles to find a McDonalds. Had pizza one evening. Surprisingly it was really good. Theres's no parking except on the street in front of the place, room for maybe 5 vehicles. Unhappily the proprietors parked their pickup truck and golf cart directly in front of the place, taking up most of the spaces. Seems like a really bad choice to me. Companions with whom we traveled also had bugs in their rooms.

This was by far the most extreme case of false advertising I’ve ever experienced. The property is a cluttered mess both inside and out. Not advertised was that four children live at this property and can be heard and seen throughout your stay. We were advised when we checked in that the kids should be quieting down around the same time as we are going to bed. The walls are so thin that in our bedroom we could hear the children talking and guests checking in and the hosts talking and people in the hallway outside the bedrooms and people coming in and out of the front door. There is no hope for a “romantic getaway“. Our room had only a tub (no shower) which was still wet when we got there and had a clump of hair in it. It appears that nothing has been updated in this house for at least 40 years. Old, grimy bathrooms. The interior of the house appeared dirty, the rugs appeared filthy and old, and they may not have been filthy but it was impossible to tell because everything is so worn. My husband and I left shortly after checking in and did not end up staying there. We did not receive a refund of our $262 that we paid to stay in a quaint historic mansion that somehow had great reviews ????

Very unique and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Beautiful room. Difficultly sleeping due to lots of neighborhood dogs barking throughout the night, but we did have our windows open.

Fall weekend trip

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint, warm and welcoming place. The room was large and filled with antiques. We could see the river from our room. The service was excellent! We had a nice dinner one evening and a wonderful breakfast on Sunday. The sack breakfast on Saturday was perfect to take with us and start our day enjoying the beautiful fall day and National Forest. If you're coming from the city, keep in mind this is a rural area - not many gas stations or grocery stores, but if you love nature, this area can't be beat. The mansion has a great selection of wine so grab a bottle and have a picnic. The hosts will be happy to help you plan your day! Wonderful stay!!
