My mother and I stayed here to visit a friend at St Joe's Hospital. Our hosts David and Janis were the best part of our stay. We felt at home instantly and David went out of his way to help us. He even drove us to the bus station very early the next morning for our trip home. Our breakfast... More

I have stayed here a few times when I visit my family in Hamilton, and I absolutely LOVE it. I have not been able to go back for a couple of years, due to health reasons, and I miss my time there. David and Janis are incredibly welcoming hosts and the breakfasts are to die for. I miss 'my' room,... More

With our busy schedules my husband and I enjoy getaways to relax and unwind. David & Janis are exceptional hosts and have a beautiful property conveniently located in the centre of Hamilton. Our little getaway was made special by the beautiful room, attention to detail and delightful conversation. Breakfast was delicious and served by David in a beautifully appointed dining... More

Janis does great work for FOBBA in helping establish the "STARS" standards for Bed and Breakfasts that are members of the Federation of Ontario Bed and Breakfast Accommodations, so you can be sure her and David's place meets your highest expectations. Besides,she and David are fun people and very sociable, and you get a good breakfast. We were happy to... More

My recent stay at Rutherford House was fantastic. I was in town for business and all the big hotels were sold out. I had never stayed at a B & B before and was a bit aprehensive. The house was built in 1888 and is beautifully restored. The room I stayed in, the Park room, was well appointed with a... More

Over the past several years we have stopped at Rutherford House several times on trips that have taken us through Hamilton. The place is lovely, with attention to detail everywhere you look. The beds are super comfortable, decoration of the restored interior is meticulous, perennial gardens are beautiful - and the food is fabulous! Its in a quiet, upscale neighborhood... More

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at Rutherford House to celebrate our anniversary in July. Hamilton might not be everyone's first choice for a romantic getaway. But there are many beautiful homes downtown, and Janis and David's is one of the most attractive. Janis' warm hospitality and helpfulness made our visit extra special. We arrived on a... More

We last visited a week before Christmas, and were delighted with the beautifully decorated tree in the front hall of this heritage home. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed, from coffee maker to mini fridge to shampoo in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent -- we have stayed here several times, and never eaten the same... More

I visit from England. I have stayed here three times now, and it really is a fabulous place to stay. Janis and Peter are very friendly but not intrusive. The rooms with ensuite bathroom are very comfortable. The black and white bedroom has a feather mattress, which is like sleeping in melted chocolate. After sleeping in this room six years... More

You can't beat David's homemade breads which accompanied Janis's gourmet breakfasts. The house is a Victorian charmer, with beautiful gardens. Hamilton was a great base from which to explore the Niagara Falls peninsula and also the Royal Botanical Gardens. We loved walking around the quaint neighborhood full of charming homes. There is a lot more to see in Hamilton, which... More
