    Beth was so welcoming and accomodating. She thought of everything a person might need while away from home. There was even a snack kitchen on the second floor if you got hungry or thirsty. My husband and I enjoyed the upstairs parlor and even played Scrabble that was set out on the game table. Breakfast was amazing -- I couldn't eat it all and that's saying something. I highly recommend Beth and the Museum Hill Bed and Breakfast.

    My husband and I have stayed in several bed and breakfasts and this was definitely one of the best. The house is beautiful. The food was great. Beth did everything she could to make it a great experience. We'll stay there again and recommend it to others.

    My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. We are at St. Joe frequently but had never really done the "downtown" experience. We chose this bed and breakfast becuase we wanted a unique and personal downtown stay, and that is exactly what we got! Beth was very helpful and knowledgeable about the home/bed and breakfast as well as the area. The house was just stunning!! There are many treasures to be found inside!

    This was my first B&B stay. I couldn't have asked for more. The rooms, food, location, hosts were perfect. I couldn't believe the attention to detail. Movies, snacks, games, wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee, books, robes, footies, and the list goes on and on !! The attractions were all very close. St Joseph has so much to offer. I will return to St. Joseph and Museum Hill B&B soon!!


    Outstanding in every way !

    My daughter and I stayed for a weekend of mother daughter time before her departure to serve our country in the military. We were welcomed by Beth and John as if part of their family and it got better and better. The accommodations were inviting and comfortable and at the same time elegant. The breakfasts were some of the best we've eaten and the history and details of the home impeccable. There are no details left out, it was a remarkable weekend and we will certainly be back as often as possible.
