    The house was very well kept. The room was very well decorated and roomy. Mrs Theresa was a very gracious host. The blueberry pancakes for breakfast were excellent.

    The windows were likely older settings and so you could hear noise from the street--just bring ear plugs, as I did.

    Breakfast was amaaaazing and they were so kind to get oat milk and even make my French toast with oat milk. Fresh cinnamon rolls and fruit-perfect bacon. No b&b has gone to such lengths for me…nor would I expect them to. The place was impeccably clean. Such attention to details. I took photos of the wallpaper, the spindles on the staircase, the door handle, the bathroom’s tin ceiling, the chandelier, the tile in the dining room. It makes such a difference to eat on linen, from China tea cups, as we were so kindly served. This place is a gem, as is the woman who hosted us.

    Loud street and A/C - remember to bring ear plugs.

    nicely maintained colonial house with a lot of charm. Well taken care off by the owner. Right in town and next to parking garage with free EV charging (just 2 slow charging hours, though)

    We absolutely loved our stay! Beautifully maintained and restored, while keeping its old school charm makes Penley House our go-to place to stay when in the area. The owner Theresa who is very friendly and accommodating, makes the best homemade breakfast from scratch. Also, the bed is so comfortable and with the crisp white linen, you’ll get the best sleep ever!

    The parking area is a little cramped but I was driving an unfamiliar vehicle (a rental) so that may have been part of my issue.

    Penley House is a beautiful Victorian home which is wonderfully kept and comfortable. Our room was right next to the full bathroom. Both rooms were big and comfortable. Teresa was very accommodating and kind. It was close to restaurants and it was easy to get across to Lewiston. The breakfast was good and the dining room was homey and put you at ease to enjoy a meal. I was told there was a pedestrian bridge nearby over the river. If I had more time, I would have definitely checked it out.

    Theresa was the consummate host! I enjoyed her company as well as hearing about some of the background of this grand and beautiful home that she lovingly restored. She made us feel so welcome and "at home!" The room was clean, impeccably appointed, and has to be the most comfortable bed i've enjoyed away from home. If i ever need to be back in the area I most certainly will be staying here!

    We don't have anything to mention that we didn't like.

    The owner was very accommodating. The breakfast was very good. The place was clean and inviting. There is off street parking. The building was built in the late 18 hundreds but looked like it was just completed. The furnishings were beautiful.
