This was my husband and I's first time staying at a B& B. What a great first experience! The W.W. Smith Inn is absolutely beautiful! Our host & hostess were very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. They suggested a wonderful restaurant for our anniversary dinner, and even took care of the reservations for us! Our room was very clean and met all of our expectations. The gourmet breakfast held in the stunning dining room, was a real treat! "Happy Travelers" Ramsey, MN

Avoid staying in hotel-chains. Choose B&Bs like W.W. Smith Inn and you will feel the difference. Unforgettable! Travellers from Berlin, Germany

We stayed in the Rose room. Very clean, nicely decorated and large enough. Window airconditioner worked well which is good since it was quite hot. Private bath had tub with handheld sprayer, no curtain and there was hardly anyplace to set anything near the sink. Breakfast was great. The ambience of this beautiful house made us want to linger.

My daughter and I met here for R and R...and we found it. Laura's Suite was roomy, comfortable. I am not an antique buff, but this house blew our minds! Gorgeous, warm, artistic (beautiful woodwork, colorful tiled fireplaces in most rooms, the owner's artwork on the walls, thrilling stained glass). The owners/hosts are warm, intelligent and interesting, and made us feel very at home. My first Bed and Breakfast experience. Lovely! I will be back, and will recommend to others!
3.8 out of 5Welcoming and Warm but missing small town experience
May 30, 2012
The W.W Smith Inn is a well preserved home that met expectations. The home and guest house was fantastic- and plenty of room for 3. The Beds are very comfortable and offers a perfect night's rest. The town of Sleepy Eye was very nice but very small and didn't offer much for site seeing or activities.
5 out of 5Our Room was Huge!

We enjoyed our 5th wedding anniversary and felt very relaxed after the stay. Everything was outstanding. The owners went out of their way to show us a great time.
