From the moment I walked in the door the hospitality made me feel like I was coming home to family. The decor is very elegant and yet you feel comfortable unlike some places where you are afraid to sit down. It would be hard to choose a room because they all are beautiful and have some many special touches! The white chocolate cranberry scones at breakfast will make you feel like you died and went to heaven. The history of the B&B that Judy and Mike shared with us was really interesting. The location being 1 block from Lake Erie was like the icing on the cake. You can't go wrong staying at Captain Montagues!

Judy is very knowledgeable of many activities and places of interest to visit in this and the surrounding areas. We have been yearly guests at this B and B for ten years and always find it relaxating and inviting. The morning breakfasts are unique and delicious. It is a must stay inn.

Captain Montague's has become one of our favorite bed and breakfasts. We have stayed in quite a few in several states, so we have experienced a wide range of comfort, service and breakfasts. Who knew we would find this treasure just 1 1/2 hours away? Judy and Mike were attentive and provided a lot of information about the inn and the area. The rooms were updated, very clean and extremely comfortable. The breakfast we had was extraordinary - Creme Brulee French Toast with Brandied Peaches . . . it doesn't get any better than that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

My husband and I needed a nice weekend get-away. When he told me we were going to HURON OHIO, I wasn't amused. I wanted to go to our own beach home in South Carolina. But time was an issue. We drove about 2 hours to Captain Montagues. When we pulled up, I commented, it's really nice, but it's not the ocean! Very soon after we checked in, my heart began to soften and I was right at home in this beautiful home, and the owners, Judy and Mike, are so gracious. I'm of Irish heritage so I fell in love immediately with all of the decorations. So classy - so Irish. Our stay was incredible. No the ocean wasn't in Huron, but the lake was a short walk down the street. We loved walking down and just watching the water. When we went 'downtown' I was even more surprised This sleepy little town has something for everyone. We had a romantic picnic in a downtown park and enjoyed the quaint little shops. I still love the ocean the most, but we are looking forward to our next 'quick and easy' get-a-way at Captain Montagues. Barb & Ken Columbus, Ohio

A friend and I booked a theater package and two extra nights. Judy and Mike were warm, welcoming hosts; the rooms were beautifully decorated and furnished; the pool, gazebo, Amish swing and lounge chairs provided total relaxation. Every day we saw something new in the beautiful Irish collections that donned the walls, tables and shelves. The home- cooked breakfasts were topped with fresh baked Irish scones. Although the bed was much too soft for me, the Molly room with the option of twin beds and a first floor location was a perfect choice for us. The theater was less than a block away and provided an entertaining rendition of "The Secret Garden." I'd love to come back again ------- perhaps for a "girls get-away" with some family or friends. Thanks for a great vacation!

My wife and I needed a place to spend a few vacation hours for an annual anniversary getaway. Captain Montague's stuck out for its name, initially, then for its website, which listed charming details about each of the guestrooms. Of course, a skeptical shopper can't believe everything he/she reads. Imagine my pleasure when we arrived and found that the website and its pictures and text BARELY did the place justice. Our room was very comfortably sized, not tiny as I had expected. The interior decorating was creative and elegant. The common areas abound with books and nicknacks, both historical and novel, and at the same time appear quite tidy and clean. It's like a museum of Irish and Celtic lore, but you're invited to make yourself at-home among it all. I enjoyed a very peaceful evening in the Cranberry Parlor, feet up, enjoying a favorite beverage and a book. If you want, you can choose a book or a board game from the library. My only complaint - and I mean only - was that we only had one night to spend there. This is a place where the walls and the fixtures and the shelves and the chairs and tables all beg to be explored, to be appreciated for their contribution to the whole. In the morning, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of specialty pancakes, delicious coffee, and their signature item, Irish scones. The breakfast, the delightful company of the other guests, and the "service with a smile" from Judy, our hostess made me want to stay longer, but alas, we had to go, but not before getting the "cook's tour" of the entire structure. I hope to stay there again, very soon.

Breakfast was a delight and Judy fixed some delicious homemade scones and banana/cinamon chip pancakes. We hope to visit again this summer/autumn. Thanks Mike & Judy for a wonderful stay!

Captain Montague’s was the perfect location for the celebration of our thirtieth wedding anniversary! We were as much delighted by the Irish ambiance permeating the historic manor, as we were by Mike and Judy’s tales of historic Huron in its shipbuilding years. Each room was impeccably and beautifully furnished. The “concierge service” was invaluable (Judy even “tabbed” some local brochures with sites she thought would be of interest to us). We loved the complete breakfasts of fruit, pancakes, bacon, warm scones, juice and coffee as we listened to Celtic strains. Most of all, we thoroughly enjoyed Mike and Judy’s company. We arrived as guests and felt we left as friends. We’ll be back!

Captain Montague's was a lovely experience. Judy and Mike welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. It was an oasis of tranquility during a personally stressful time. After a hectic day, I came back to the Inn, took a hot shower, snuggled up in a bathrobe and tiptoed downstairs and grabbed a book from the downstairs library. In the morning, I dined on scrumptious (and I use this word sparingly) banana cinammon pancakes and homemade scones, topped off with the Inn's customized tea. Captain Montague's was distinctive and yet cozy and comfortable. I've already recommended that my parents stay at Captain Montague's the next time they are in town.

Our stay on New Year's Eve 2007 marked the 12th year that we have been guests at the Captain's. Mike and Judy are like family to us, and have always welcomed us with open arms. They pamper us like crazy while we are their guests, and the food and conversation are the true highlights of our stays. The Captain's has evolved into a "retreat" of sorts for us -- a place of refuge where we can leave everything behind and focus on us -- our relationship -- and relax to a point where we can return to our family and daily life with a fresh and renewed perspective. We cherish our stays at the Captain's, and have created once-in-a-lifetime memories there. Thank you, Mike and Judy, for becoming a part of the history of our family, and for many visits yet to come!

Judy and Mike helped make my wife's surprise birthday truly a fun filled and nmost memorable weekend. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the Victorian period , the food was absolutely delish and the "family" hospitality unequalled, they're a stitch!. The murder mystery crew from "Random Acts" were a riot and put on an excellent show both nights, as well as getting our whole group into the act. Would gladly do it again any time!

It is well-maintained and beautifully decorated. The warm and friendly hospitality made us feel right at home. Our breakfast served in the gazebo was delicious--the white chocolate cranberry scones are great! We will make a point to return again.

We enjoyed the ambiance of the Irish Bed and Breakfast immensely. Our Hosts were most cordial, enjoyed providing us with information about places to eat, and were terrific advocates for the community --especially the BGSU Theatre's lab - Huron Playhouse. In addition to walking to the theatre, we enjoyed walking to Lake Erie - so terrific location for our needs. Like others, we enjoyed the restored home, personal attention, and the quality of the nights' rest. Persons who enjoy theatre should consider this as their base when attending a play at the Huron Playhouse.

We celebrated our anniversary at the Captain's, and it was the perfect home base for our special Erie shore weekend. Our primary destination was Chez Francois in nearby Vermillion, a gourmet restaurant on the water that was a sublime experience! The Captain's was just two blocks from the Huron Boat Basin, so the next night we walked down for a free concert and beers along the river. Judy and Mike are very hospitable and although the house is very grand, it's easy to feel at home there. One of the unusual features is the large covered patio, and the pool; it was great to sit poolside and read or nap between outings. You'll get your money's worth and more. Have fun!

Review Captain Montague's, Huron, OH

Photo Album

As you enter the Captain's foyer, your are immediately struck by the high ceilings and the beautiful hand-crafted solid black walnut staircase leading to three of the guest rooms.Captain Montague's wife Sarah was an accomplished musician. We are proud to have a vintage 1880 totally restored pump organ in our Irish Victorian parlor. We do invite our guests to pump and play.
In January of 1999 the Captain's parlor received a total make-over. As is evident, you can see that we wanted an Irish Victorian parlor. Victorian colors were strong and bold; thus our very green room! Our guests find it quite inviting.Our guests thoroughly enjoy this cozy nook in the dining room. In January 2000 this room was totally restored including taking down a false ceiling to expose the beautiful original plaster crown molding. (new photo coming soon) The dining room can seat 14 guests.
Jenny's room, our bridal/anniversary suite, is a fairytale setting furnished in wicker and lace. Any prince charming would slay dragons to bring his princess to this romantic hide-away tucked in a very private part of the Captain's.Sarah's Room, named in honor of the Captain's wife, captures the imagination and memories of a quieter, less hurried time. The original fireplace and mantel with its ceramic tile is the room's centerpiece.
Molly's Room was the first room to be remodeled including a name change. (Molly is a very precious name to our family.) The soft lavenders, pale greens, and white eyelet are soothing to the eye and the soul. This room can be either a king bed or two twin beds.Appropriately, our most masculinely decorated room is named in honor of the Captain himself. The four-poster queen bed compliments the high ceilings. The chandelier is the original lighting fixture (gas then, of course)that was in the parlor.
Edith's Room, named in honor of the Captain's daughter, is a cheery and our brightest room as it has an eastern exposure and the morning sun. You'll find this room up the front stairs.Edith's Room, named in honor of the Captain's daughter, is a cheery and our brightest room as it has an eastern exposure and the morning sun.
