    The Bailey House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a Greek Revival brick home built in 1830. The three story house features four large pillars in front and a large central hall with winding staircase. The spacious rooms have Federal-style mantels, woodwork and original ash flooring. The Bailey House offers small town friendliness,in an historic area, and a full breakfast to start the day. Museums, art gallery, antique shops, and gardens all within comfortable walking distance. Private tours of Ulysses S. Grant's Boyhood Home available. Hiking and bike trails nearby. In 2007 the stone wall in front of the house was repaired and many artifacts were found that are now on display. The wall was probably built with stone U.S. Grant and his father hauled to the site.

    I would easily recommend the Bailey House to anyone. The owners are very nice and the facility and service are also very nice. We stayed there for 5 nights and were very pleased with our stay. Better than any hotel/motel, plus we learned a lot about U. S. Grants years at Georgetown.

    A Truly Delightful Stay!

    Outstanding night away at Bailey House, in Georgetown, Ohio ~ everything was so nice. This was our second stay. Nancy and Susie were so warm and friendly, as were the pets. So comfy, cozy were the accommodations, along with a delicious breakfast.We enjoyed the history and the town so much, along with a drive down to historic Ripley nearby. We will definitely return. Would love to bring my sisters for a visit too! Thank you.

    Charming, beautiful and gracious

    We just got back from a stay at the Bailey House. We ran a bit late because we were busy in Ripley. We called to let Nancy know and she told us it was no problem. When we arrived later that evening, we were greeted by Nancy and given a tour of the house. Nancy is very knowledgable about the house and about the city of Georgetown. In addition, it's obvious she is passionate about preserving that history and sharing it with others. Our room was good sized and comfortable, with a nice soft bed and nice linens. Everything in the house was spotless! Our room had a shared bathroom and it worked out just fine. We were lucky enough to share a breakfast time with two of the other guests in the house. Breakfast was homemade and there was plenty of food, which was quite good. Breakfast conversation was lovely and Nancy does a great job of bringing her guests together over the meal. I was reluctant to leave the table when breakfast was over. There were a couple of adorable house cats, who were friendly and one cute small dog. We can't wait to go back and bring our daughter. Nancy gives personal tours of the Grant house, so we plan to schedule that the next time we come. It was a great value and we really enjoyed our stay.

    I have high expectations for a B&B, especially in a historical location, and The Bailey House has met those expectations on both of our stays there. Nancy is a wonderful host and a font of historical knowlege about the area. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated and our room was large and comfortable. The mattress was past it's prime and the antique headboard was quite squeaky but it didn't keep us from getting a good night's sleep. Breakfast was simple and simply delicious. The quiche was very good and the homemade biscuits and cherry preserves were worth the stay themselves! I would recommend The Bailey House to anyone who is planning to further pursue the history of U.S. Grant and southern Ohio's involvement in the Civil War and the Underground Railroad.

    Innkeeper Response
    I am so glad to get this notification about our mattress not being as comfortable as it should. We don't sleep on these beds & I didn't think about this aspect of our rooms. I have now changed the mattresses in all the guests rooms because of this guest letting me know about the problem. Thank you so much. I learned a lesson! Nancy Purdy
