Detailed Reviews
What a beautiful and relaxing bed and breakfast. Freda, the owner, has attended to every detail. The house is beautifully decorated and has an amazing number of antiques. The rooms are beautifully decorated and have every amenity you could want. Lovely bedding, relaxing chairs, robes, plenty of towels and even a TV with a selection of DVD's. I was visiting my daughter who is a college student near-by.We stayed in the Cottage Rose Room which is so feminine and comforting. A perfect get away for a stressed college student. The bathroom is large, bright and luxurious. The room is decorated such that you feel you are in a lived in home. Freda fixes yummy gourmet breakfast in an elegant dining room with calming music in the background.
It was a real treat to stay at such a beautiful home with such a lovely inn owner.

Owner Freda Chaney has created a beautiful and relaxing B&B serving gourmet large breakfasts. A perfect way to start your day. The most important thing that one notices right away are the details...all the details that are to make a guest feel more welcome and comfortable.
These extremely large rooms are nothing like a hotel room, but rather staying in the large rooms of this historic estate. Top of line bedding, towels, toiletries, free coffee, tea and snacks round the clock, the fine decor and all the little things that make a difference in a good visit to a memorable and great visit.
We think Freda musthave stayed in every single room to see what each set up needed to make it perfect for her guests.
Just lovely!
PS. We were taking our daughter to college nearby and it was the perfect place for the 3 of to be together until she started her college journey.

We have stayed at B&Bs here in Hawaii, in Colorado, San Juan Islands, Texas, NM, etc.. and not one compares to yours. You go over and above for every luxury and detail while your warm and welcoming demeanor is topped off by the gourmet breakfasts.
What a special place to stay when we dropped our daughter off at college. You turned a bittersweet experience into one filled with warm memories.
Thank you Freda for the large lavish rooms and large bathrooms complete with everything we could ever need. The gorumet breakfasts and beautiful background music, the 24 hr. coffee & tea service and the beautiful grounds to stroll and unwind in.
I still have your book and it is on my "most used" cookbook shelf..it is more than a cookbook, as I find it very calming and inspirational to read. Helps me to pause and appreciate the simple thing around me and to just slow down for a bit. It makes me look at my neglected garden in a new light and that is when the weeds get pulled and the worm compost gets re-applied and then for a few weeks it looks like a new garden that is spoiled and pampered.
Wish we could go back every Fall and relive our wonderful experience!

You just can't say anything better what the 1st two reviewer wrote down about The Chaney Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn. Indeed it is a wonderful and relaxing place to stay and Freda knows how to make a wonderful breakfast to start your day. We just love to hear her to tell the story about the old inn and she is very warm person and she make sure your stay is very welcome.
My wife and I have been staying at the other B&B in the Northeast of US and this place top it all.

The Chaney Manor is an outstanding B&B located just south of Mt Vernon. It is a restored home first built in 1823 for a gentleman farmer turned early Ohio state representative. The house sits on 6 acres with stately trees, wide lawns, and a stream and pond to relax by. The ethic here is not manicured, but natural and organic. The home is a two story brick affair with three bedrooms for guests; we stayed in the first floor library bedroom which, like the other rooms, is spacious, filled with period pieces (including a working pump organ) as well as hundreds of books (Norman is an English professor at Otterbein College). Freda is a wonderful, friendly hostess who also happens to be a gourmet cook; she has different breakfast options, we had two and both were scrumptious. It was Mother's Day when we were there, and she provided several extras for my wife that really made her feel special. Freda also realized that guests seek privacy, so she is both attentive to needs but stays out of the way, a great quality for B&B hosts. We also enjoyed the Jacuzzi in a beautiful private room. Highly recommended, the price is reasonable for the excellent lodging, food and grounds. Great restaurants nearby as well (we recommend Winestein and The Alcove).

We spent Friday and Saturday night at The Chaney Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn when in Mt. Vernon, Ohio for a family reunion. The two night stay was delightful and relaxing. The Inn is on route 13, two miles outside downtown Mt. Vernon on six acres in a semi-rural setting. Good location and easy to find. The house was built in 1823 and is on the historic register. Inn owners Freda and Norman have furnished the house with antiques, books and other period furniture which is nicely done. Freda is a very warm, gracious and accomodating host providing personalized breakfasts, a relaxing atmosphere and was sensitive to our schedule and privacy. Our downstairs bedroom was large, well appointed and very comfortable with a modern bathroom. We look forward to a return visit.

Since we first stayed at The Chaney Manor a few years ago when we came to visit family, we decided this was the place to stay whenever we come to Mt. Vernon. The manor is filled with books, antique furniture, paintings, all sorts of lovely things to look at and learn about. We've always stayed in the Library. It's our home away from home. Comfortable bed, lovely linens, all the amenities you would want. But Freda brings the warmth and friendliness. She respects your privacy and will do all she can to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast is always delicious, nutritious and sprinkled with elegance. Freda will accommodate all preferences and dietary requirements. She truly enjoys people and sharing information and experiences. We highly recommend a stay to anyone and we bet you'll come back. We do!
