Being in the center of town and lots of history is a plus. We stayed in the Custer room in the garden. Interesting furnishings but room was damp and poorly lit. Lights outside the door never worked. Very accommodating by serving us early breakfast one day. Restaurant was OK but not great but did have unusual dishes which we tried... More

My husband and I just spent 3 wonderful nights here. Two nights in the Sarah Black Room and one night in the Sweney Room. The rooms were clean and beautiful. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. The food was good and the people were great. Everyone we met from the owner( Mr. Shultz) to the cleaning ladies were all... More

Just want to say first of all this is a really nice in the center of downtown unfortunately that's where it ends. I made a reservation for a part of 14 upon arriving we learned that our reservation was very close to being cancelled because they could not confirm a reservation just days before I did not receive any calls....

We stayed in the Sara black room & the Sweeney room. Both rooms were very clean, cozy & active! Our visit started with having lunch in the tavern, Monica was our server and she was friendly and efficient. Jeremy (the little boy ghost) decided to stand by our table and hum while we ate. We toured the town for a... More

Great food, great ambiance, and excellent service. I will defiantly be coming back to the Farnsworth to eat. There was plenty to look at and our food came fast. I would recommend any of the sandwiches. The food was priced just right for an older couple traveling.

WOW! I can't believe some of the reviews people left regarding the Farnsworth! From the moment me and my family got there, we had a great experience! Mr. Shultz, the owner, is a wonderful man who took time out of his day to chat with us and even give us a private tour of the attic and cellar. ALL of... More

My husband and I spent one night in the Eisenhower room in the main part of the Farnsworth House. The room was very nice and I didn't think it was dirty at all. There was a 13 inch flat screen TV in the room that only got a couple of channels, but that was fine for us. That evening we... More

We rented out all 5 bedrooms in main house for the weekend for my neices 16 birthday. Had a great time, since we were all together, and the staff we saw were very nice. The horror; however comes from the incredibly cluttered rooms filled with an overload of (some very rediculous) decorations. They are all incredibly dusty and dirty. My... More

My wife and I have been here many times over the past several years, staying in every room up stairs. The Farnsworth was our first experience with " haunted hotels " and we now seek them out when ever we travel. When imposible things happen repeatedly it really gets your attention!
