The Benham School House Inn allows you to experince something different than you average stay at any old hotel. I definitely have never stayed in any place like this before but I would say I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. The inn keeps this old schoolhouse's fascinating history alive very well, with the room setup and layout of... More

The Benham School House Inn is a wonderful attraction. The Old School House has been converted into an inn. When you walk down the hall it still smells like a school house. The gym serves as a meeting room and informal dining area. The rooms are large and the furnishing are lovely. Chairs line the old hallways and are positioned... More

Benham is definitely off the beaten path, however we really enjoyed our stay at the Benham School House Inn. If you went to school in a 20's or 30's building, you will really get a kick out of the inn. They have done wonders with it. Each room is numbered for a graduating class (1928 to 1961). We had 1928... More

The down home feel and scenery is wonderful. It takes you back in time, back to your roots. Does not have all the city ammenities but has character beyond belief. Slow down your pace and get back to nature. I love this place....miss it when I cant go for a few years. It is like going home down south.

If you went to school in one of the old type schools (built in the 20's or 30's) then you will get a kick out of the Benham School House Inn. If you just want a place to stay, its a great Inn also. The folks who run it are very nice and helpful, the rooms are clean and the... More

It is definitely a different place to stay! It does have some quirks, but honestly there is not many choices in this area. We were traveling with an infant, and quickly realized that our one bed (king sized) room was too small for us! We hardly had room to set up the pack n play. We were having to stack... More

My wife and I only stayed 1 night, any more than that would have been hard to take. The room was nice but the ceiling fan didn't work, some of the wall outlets didn't work and the hotel restaurant was closed and according to the Inn keeper it had been for some time. Breakfast consisted of cereal, oatmeal packets, toast,... More

What a charming place to visit and stay. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was clean and adorable -- with a fireplace, cozy wood floors, and more. Such a refreshing change from an average hotel/motel.

I have returned a second time to this little town and beginning to feel like part of the neighborhood, everyone is so friendly and interesting and helpful. It is beautiful in every season and the restoration of the high school and surrounding facilities is commendable and well done. The mine tour was interesting and inspiring, the visit and hiking in...

This whole area will transport you back in time. I WOULD LOVE to be able to live in a quaint peaceful town like Benham, the folks there re really lucky in many ways. The Benham Inn was just beautiful. The people there are as down to earth as the mountains surrounding them. We plan to return in the late spring,and... More
