Nothing but rave reviews for this cute bnb! Plenty of off street parking behind the house. We were able to check in late. The defor is ADORABLE. Children not recommended for a reason- many antique stuff. We stayed in the Hunter room which had a twin and a full sized bed which was perfect. The bathroom was in the room- the water temperature and pressure was exquisite. There was a kitchenette in the basement- I helped myself to tea before bed. It was lovely to sit in the upstairs library and out on the fantastic front porch. Breakfast at 8:30 am with quiche, granola, and sausage. Coffee served at 7:30 am. Wish we could have stayed here longer than one night!

Stayed at the Big Yellow Inn in Cedar City. What a cool place! One block from the Shakespeare Festival. The lodging has themed rooms, 8 fireplaces, balconies, porches, and 12 themed rooms. Breakfast was delicious and the owners were wonderful. Great place to hold meetings also with a picturesque backyard.

Lovely home with ornate decor and lots to look at. Comfy bed and all the amenities you could need! Great location in town - walking distance to shops and restaurants. We ate a centro a great pizza place but make a reservation as it is that busy! Only one disappointment-breakfast was good but nothing special.
However I would definitely return!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jim C.Scottsdale, AZ13523305Sep 11, 2023
It's a funny place. It's like staying in your grandmother's house and she just can't stop herself from buying every nic-nac she comes across at the local flea market. It's a pretty Victorian house. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice but not special. Since it's a converted house you can hear all the noise from the neighbors in adjoining bedrooms.
Still it's nice to have an option that's different from the national chains.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bill M.PALOS VERDES PENINSULA, CA012Oct 9, 2023
We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by a note on the back door giving access instructions. We got into our room and were overpowered by the smell of mold. Turned the AC thermometer down to get some air circulation and left the room to get some dinner. On our return the room smelled worse. We found that the AC vents were all closed, and the AC system was not working. Turning on the wall heater we were greeted with the smell of burning dust.
The room had clearly not been properly cleaned for a considerable time. There was thick dust over horizontal surfaces. Towels in the bathroom smelled of mold as if they had been left in the wasing machine for a long time before drying.
We were not able to contact the proprietors that night and it was too late to find an alternative. The room was uninhabitable and I had to sleep in my car.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Vicki C.Providence, RI26115476Oct 12, 2021
A warm and comfortable BandB with lots of personality. Located literally next door to the utah shakespeare festival, this bandb is homey and convenient. The inn perhaps defines the word 'eclectic' with a warm wood interior literally filled with interesting curios from all over. Remington sculptures ? Chinoise ceramics? Tiffany glass? It's got it all. Our room and a super luxurious king bed with African themed art. Breakfast was some egg frittata with Jimmy dean sausage and decent coffeecake. The owner could not have been nicer. He (Scott) handled our late checkin with ease and even hauled our luggage up the stairs without a hesitation. The common areas are great for relaxing and had we been here in the summer I'm sure we would have made use of the ample covered props at all levels. A great choice!

this inn was spectacular to say the least !! i loved the ambiance and the magical energy that you could feel in every room ! it felt like a cozy cottage mixed with a mysterious historic museum. the owners were so kind and welcoming and i don't think it would've been possible for me to have had a better time

As cute as this place is in the pictures... it was nothing to write home about. I am NOT one to ever write a negative review or complain, but I have to say something about my experience at this place.
First, when we booked online through their own website they had the room rate, food tax, but not the actual price of room tax. Therefore, when we got there we paid about $10-15 more than we thought we would pay. We didn't mind, ok there is state tax they can't dictate that... but then we get to the actual stay..
We were shown to our room (the Bon Voyage), and got settled in. We went out for the night, had great access right into the back parking lot, so we could come and go as we pleased. We did love that.
The first night, I slept horribly. The mattress was not supportive for me at all. I had a really difficult time getting comfortable, all through the night! I even went as far as giving it a shot to sleep on the floor because it was THAT awful for me. For awhile, the floor was more comfortable! I didn't fall asleep until around 4am and woke up so exhausted...
We went downstairs for breakfast in the morning, and it wasn't as good as the reviews we had previously read wrote about. The pound cake was delicious, but the rest of it was cold and "eh".
I finally decided to call Scott & tell him about the mattress. I was nervous to do so, but felt like they must really care about customer service and satisfaction.. I called Scott and asked if there was a foam topper I could put on it, if he could switch us rooms, or even just give us a partial refund so we can go elsewhere. The only response I got was uncomfortable & cold, he told me, "Well I've NEVER had a complaint about the mattresses ever! Those are the best mattresses! I can't give you a refund because I turned 3 people away today because we're full, and even if I could give you your money back, I don't have anyone to clean your room and get it ready for someone else." ...... Gee ok... so mayyybe they don't care about customer service? Seriously, no sympathy, & made it seem like it was my own personal problem so why should they care?
We ended up staying since we weren't getting any help otherwise, and my wife just switched me sides to see if that'd help. It did somewhat, but it wasn't as wonderful as I expected.
The next morning, didn't even ask if I slept better the second night or anything. We went downstairs for a banana and some juice, then went upstairs to pack our bags and get the heck out of there. We were thinking we'd soak every minute we had there until check out, but definitely ended up checking out earlier.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Sorry. It's cute for pics and the decorations, sure, but you can get that a lot of places for a LOT cheaper.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Craig K.Las Vegas, NV272Sep 13, 2020
What a beautiful place. One of a kind. The perfect place to stay. Felt very cozy and intimate. Breakfast was very excellent. Wish I had more time to explore the library longer. I would of loved to hear the stories from all of his pieces that's all around the house.

FIRST - the photo next to the photo of the Inn is the kitchen for the first floor guests. There is a very large dining room on the main floor, and another kitchen on the top floor for those guests.
Amazing location - right across from SUU, Main Street and the alley of surprises behind Main. This is our second stay this year. Both rooms we stayed in are very nice big rooms with good closets, dresser drawers and bathrooms. Beds are very comfy, not too hard nor soft. There are full kitchens on the top and bottom floors with coffee and pot, teas and kettle, oven, microwave, fridge and all the plates and utensils as well as seating. The breakfasts have been very nice, perfect assortment for a nice start to the day, good coffee, teas and juices as well. It feels like someone left you their house to stay in only better. Parking behind the inn is close to the Inn's back doors on all levels - very convenient for loading in and out. There is also a nice back garden to chill out in and enjoy the beautiful views. And, this Inn is loaded with artifacts and collectables from all over the world. You can spend a day walking from one open living space to another - drawing room, dining room, sitting rooms on each level, library and more. Sometimes you can get a peek in the other guest rooms - each uniquely decorated to it's theme.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
