    We stayed overnight to ring in the New Year - 2012. Chuck and Susan were excellent hosts. The Library Room was beautiful and fun. We met some of the guest at breakfast the next morning and the meal was outstanding. The Inn is located high in the bluffs and the view is breathtaking. We were able to walk and visit sites in the area. The Inn was spotless. David and I will be back evey year and maybe try another room. Thank-you for a beautiful stay.

    We have stayed at the Hancock House several times. Every visit is a wonderful, restful experience. The house is beautiful. Each bedroom is lovely and unique and offers a private bathroom. We have always chosen one that also has a hot tub! The views of the city are awesome. Susan and Chuck are an added bonus!! We wouldn't stay anywhere else when we are in the area.
