    March 24, 2013

    My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. This was our first time at a bed-n-breakfast and it was more than we expected. Debbie and Dean are great hosts, and were very welcoming. They made us a delicious breakfast in the morning, and it was great that they treated us as guests. This is very pleasant place to stay. They get a thumbs up from us!

    Excellent, extremely welcoming and friendly. highly recommend.

    February 18, 2013

    We arrived later than expected, both Dean and Debbie were waiting for us after I had called and they gave directions again if necessary. Snacks and drinks were available, as was entertainment or just the comfort of a well stocked library and many things to view and learn from. The breakfasts were excellent with a nice variety after asking our preference, table set beautifully- different each morning. The scenery was spectacular and overall we had a fabulous low key, non stressful weekend. Terrific conversation, nothing negative to mention. Thank you Dean and Debbie!

    Innkeeper Response
    You and your family were fabulous guests to have. You are a testament to what every parent should be: loving and guiding. Your children were marvelous and are welcome as return guests at any time. Please call again when you want a family getaway.

    Dean & Deb Finally getting around to write a review on the Stay & Breakfast or it should be Break-feast. Wow Paula Dean would be jealous of the fixins at your breakfast table. From the thick sliced bacon to the fabulous briskets and gravy and how could we forget the fried apples OMGoodness. Extra clean rooms & linens and the Dean Tuggle story time. He's been alot of places and many experiences that are funny and interesting. Keep up the great service. Andy & Dan Jones

    Best Kept Secret

    October 15, 2012

    Tuggles' Follies has a great location for attending events in Aurora or Rising Sun, IN. It is also only 30 minutes from Cincinnati, OH. The view is awesome, facilities are emaculate, and the food is to die for. If your in the area put it on your calendar!!!

    We had the pleasure of staying at this bed and breakfast. this past weekend. The leaves were just starting to turn and the the view was absolutely awesome! We were made to feel welcome and comfortable by Debbie & Dean and they are fantastic cooks making the breakfast "most" delicious! The fried peaches are yum-yummy! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a bed & breakfast in this area. Bob & Nancy
