    The Hamilton House is a charming home with history, beauty, and wonderful breakfasts. The innkeepers are extremely friendly and helpful. Mr. Fleming knows the history of the home and did a great job of relating it to us. It's in a great location on Main street.

    The house was very clean and in great condition. There were many options for the rooms in terms of size and layout. The owner was incredibly gracious, welcoming, professional and helpful with regard to things to do around town. It rained the whole day on one of the days and we still had a great time being the house. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast.


    The perfect getaway!

    This was the PERFECT escape from Chicago. My boyfriend and I booked a room at Hamilton last minute just to get away for a few days. We just fell in love with the place! Kathie is very accommodating (she looked up the weather for us, left brownies and coffee out, took the time to give us restaurant suggestions, etc). but also gave us our space. The rooms are extremely clean (and comfortable) and we woke up to a fabulous breakfast waiting for us downstairs. I never thought I would have any reason to visit Whitewater again, but we are already talking about how nice a winter escape to Hamilton House would be :)

    My stay in this elegant, historic home felt like a home away from home. Superb hospitality and food. Lovely parlors and guest rooms. Clean and beautifully appointed.
