"I stayed in one room, and my fiancee' stayed in the other. What really makes this bed and breakfast a five star is Tracy and her husband Marvin. Tracy went completely out of her way to make sure that we had absolutely everything that we needed and wanted. She brought Christmas cookies to our room, and even made a second trip to bring us milk. She brought excellent coffee on a beautiful tray to our rooms when we wanted it in the morning, and made breakfast to order at the time we asked for. Tracy's heart is truly in this. You can tell that her real desire is that people truly feel welcome and blessed when they come. She is very unselfish. Even if Ottumwa is a bit off of your travel route, it will be well worth your while to make a slight detour to experience this refereshing, hospitable, and wonderful B & B."
