Several reviews note steep steps to the house and an uphill walk, which may challenge guests with limited mobility. A few guests found rooms warm for sleeping or the in-room air conditioning inconvenient or noisy. Breakfast is widely described as delicious and generous, though it’s served at set times with limited early options, and check-in follows specific windows that require communication ahead of arrival. Expect a charming, well-run stay with personable hosting in a historic setting.

Facilities
Historic home with inviting common rooms and a pleasant front porch. Multiple reviews mention many stairs between the street and the guest rooms, and while there is air conditioning, a few guests still found rooms warm or AC units intrusive.

Everything was fine with one exception: If you are physically limited in any way the climb up to the house followed by another like climb up to your room can be rather tough on people with any health issues such as AFIB or bad legs etc.

Fabulous B & B…the best in every way! Gage and Dustin were so welcoming and Gage prepared a delicious breakfast. My sisters and brothers-in-law loved it as well, so we would highly recommend it. Beware if stairs are an issue to navigate as there are many outside and inside.

Highs for the 2 nights were high 80s and the air conditioner was gone for service. The ceiling fan only had a low speed. Had the 2 windows open but didn’t get much sleep due to the heat factor on the second floor. We were told to just open the windows it gets down to 55.

Host was awesome. House was very well kept. Room was clean and quiet. In a nice neighborhood, and convenient to everything with in walking distance. Anyone with mobility issues, please be aware, there are like 20 steps from curb to front door, and another 20 steps up the stairs to the rooms. I rate it 10 for 10

Beautiful historic home with AC and comfy bed. Room was traditional in decor so fitting to the ornate building. Suite was compact but had great storage including a large closet plus chests. Walkable to the great Mississippi River and restaurants. Host was kind and easy to contact. Notes: it’s hard to dust all that decor, the only outdoor space is a large front porch, and hot breakfast was simple though hearty.

Good B&B - puts you RIGHT in the heart of Burlington where you can get to downtown and a very quick walk to the river and some great old houses on the hill. A block from Snake Alley. I liked the charming house, the decor, the room and its condition. You have a living room to use and a den area, room was good enough for me as a solo traveller. Breakfast was great portioned and tasty. I would describe as low-key in that they give you your distance, not like an old-fashioned one where there would be on you. They do have rules about check in times, so try to arrive between 4 and 6 or call ahead with specific arrangements. These are folks who run the B&B but also live on prop and have lives of their own, and all.

Evans Holly Grove is just gorgeous! We stayed there while attending the TriState Rodeo in Fort Madison. The owners are knowledgeable about the history of Burlington and their beautiful historic home. The front porch was a great place to have morning coffee, which is ready for you downstairs. We stayed in the business suite, which had a very comfortable king bed and was decorated nicely with not too much "trinkets" sitting around, leaving you plenty of room to place your things. The home is quiet and so was the room. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent bed in a beautifully decorated room. Generous breakfast, but nothing special or interesting. The hosts have spent 8 years thoroughly rehabbing a magnificent 1880s mansion, adding thoroughly modern comfort and convenience while preserving every remarkable Victorian detail, and filling every room with wonderfully appropriate stuff from their antiques business. Suggestions: 1. Our room AC was in a window behind the the tall headboard of the bed. Too close to the ears of sleepers. It was set on “eco mode” so it cycled on and off every few minutes. In that mode it could not cool this room adequately. Accessing the controls behind the headboard was difficult. This AC could be replaced with one that has a remote control. 2. A grab rail or two around the very spacious jetted tub might save someone a nasty slip and fall. 3. Prospective guests should be made aware that it is about 20 steps up from the street to the door, and then 17 more from the first floor to the second. 4. A water glass or two in the bathroom would have been appreciated.

It was beautifully decorated. The exhaust fan light in our bathroom had a lot of dead bugs in it. We needed to leave before the 8:30 breakfast time. So we asked if they had a continental breakfast, but said no. We didn't feel they were very accommodating.

This was our first stay at a B&B so we were not really sure what to expect. I have to say we were more than impressed! The Inn is large and gorgeous yet so cozy. The hosts were very welcoming. The room we rented was spacious and had super soft plush carpet, a fireplace, very comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. We were in walking distance to the festival we were in town attending. This inn is in walking distance to the downtown area where there are multiple dining options, little boutiques and the Mississippi river.

Friendly co-owner, beds were comfy and the delicious breakfast was more than we could finish. I'm recommending this spot and looking forward to making a point of returning next time we're passing through!

Good B&B - puts you RIGHT in the heart of Burlington where you can get to downtown and a very quick walk to the river and some great old houses on the hill. A block from Snake Alley. I liked the charming house, the decor, the room and its condition. You have a living room to use and a den area, room was good enough for me as a solo traveller. Breakfast was great portioned and tasty. I would describe as low-key in that they give you your distance, not like an old-fashioned one where there would be on you. They do have rules about check in times, so try to arrive between 4 and 6 or call ahead with specific arrangements. These are folks who run the B&B but also live on prop and have lives of their own, and all.

Warning: If you book this property, read the fine print. I didn’t realize there was no front desk and that you have to call 24 hours in advance for check in instructions. I called the day of my reservation, but got a voicemail. There was no one to talk to. I left a voicemail and messaged through the app but got no reply. 3 Expedia customer service reps tried to reach the property with no success. There was no way for me to check in for my reservation and I was out of town with nowhere to sleep. Thankfully, Expedia customer service was wonderful!! They refunded me and gave me $50 in Expedia credit, which was above and beyond, and I was able to get a room at the Hampton Inn. Trip saved!

Location
Set in a historic, walkable neighborhood near downtown, restaurants, the river, and Snake Alley. The hill and exterior steps can require effort, which may be challenging for those with mobility limitations.

We literally were just looking for a place to lay our heads for a night, a pit stop on our way to the Ozarks. What we got was a lovely experience, friendly owners, nice room and tasty breakfast tucked away in a quiet neighborhood close to the river and unique places to choose from for dinner. Fair price and overall would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area. The Inn is full of antiques and many other things to look at.

This was our first stay at a B&B so we were not really sure what to expect. I have to say we were more than impressed! The Inn is large and gorgeous yet so cozy. The hosts were very welcoming. The room we rented was spacious and had super soft plush carpet, a fireplace, very comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. We were in walking distance to the festival we were in town attending. This inn is in walking distance to the downtown area where there are multiple dining options, little boutiques and the Mississippi river.

Stayed here while racing bicycles in the area. Third year in a row now. The house is beautiful and beatifully decorated. Full of antiques. The breakfasts are delicious. Easy walking distance to all of downtown Burlington.

Our host, Kage, was super friendly and helpful with recommendations around the town. The house was absolutely gorgeous and cozy on a frigid Thanksgiving weekend, our room was perfect. The neighborhood sits atop a bluff/hill within half a block of the famous Snake Alley and surrounded by amazing Victorian homes. Burlington is more boutique-y than I knew, almost like a mid-state Galena. The Evans Holly Grove is the perfect getaway in a nice, walkable historic area!

Absolutely lovely property, conveniently located walking distance to downtown restaurants (though get ready for a little workout climbing back up the hill!) I was the only guest the night that I stayed, though the breakfast area was roomy enough for a full house. Simple breakfast fare done very, very well. Would definitely stay here again.

Good B&B - puts you RIGHT in the heart of Burlington where you can get to downtown and a very quick walk to the river and some great old houses on the hill. A block from Snake Alley. I liked the charming house, the decor, the room and its condition. You have a living room to use and a den area, room was good enough for me as a solo traveller. Breakfast was great portioned and tasty. I would describe as low-key in that they give you your distance, not like an old-fashioned one where there would be on you. They do have rules about check in times, so try to arrive between 4 and 6 or call ahead with specific arrangements. These are folks who run the B&B but also live on prop and have lives of their own, and all.

Breakfast is repeatedly praised as delicious, generous, and well prepared, though some describe it as simple. It is served at set times, with limited early options for guests departing before breakfast.

Glad we discovered this gem. It was our first time at this classy inn in what appears to be a leafy uptown neighborhood within easy walking distance to a hip downtown area. Friendly co-owner, beds were comfy and the delicious breakfast was more than we could finish. I'm recommending this spot and looking forward to making a point of returning next time we're passing through!

It was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast! It did not disappoint! Beautiful home, so much charm and character comes through every inch of this home. Our room had a king size bed that was truly just as comfortable as our bed at home! The homemade breakfast was a 10/10. We enjoyed sitting around the dining table with the other guest, talking about life and travel. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we plan to stay again.

Beautiful historic home with AC and comfy bed. Room was traditional in decor so fitting to the ornate building. Suite was compact but had great storage including a large closet plus chests. Walkable to the great Mississippi River and restaurants. Host was kind and easy to contact. Notes: it’s hard to dust all that decor, the only outdoor space is a large front porch, and hot breakfast was simple though hearty.

It was beautifully decorated. The exhaust fan light in our bathroom had a lot of dead bugs in it. We needed to leave before the 8:30 breakfast time. So we asked if they had a continental breakfast, but said no. We didn't feel they were very accommodating.

This is a beautiful home with poor customer service. They do not return phone calls. There are amenities at the home that are not allowed to be used by the guest. There is a coffee pot in the room with no water, cream or sugar. One of nights there was no air conditioning and the room was unbearably hot. Breakfast is served at 830 and there is no flexibility in offering an earlier time for early flights. Even the option of coffee or tea was not available. I have stayed at a lot of B&B. This owner does not get the concept of a B&B. B&B are about interactions between guest and owner. Overall this is poor operations. Very nice decorations but a very unfriendly and unaccommodating atmosphere.
