Roll of the dice on your reservation
We booked our stay 3 months in advance and when we got there they didn't have our reservation in their system (they say that happens regularly with them and Hotels.com). Thankfully they were not full. The room we booked was not cleaned and we needed to get unpacked, so he offered a "comparable room". While it was fine, there wasn't even a chair to sit on. Charles was very friendly and accommodating, which redeemed the stay a bit. Probably wouldn't stay there again as we don't want to chance not have a place to sleep.

Don’t waste your time
The room was not as listed there was no private bathroom it was up a steep flight of stairs . The window in the room was broken. Dealing with owner trying to get a refund because my disabled husband could walk up a flight of stairs to use the restroom. Was a nightmare waiting for a call back and no fund. Don’t waste your time

The keeper, Charles, absolutely made the stay fantastic! He is a wealth of knowledge regarding ease in traveling to the city (he saved us a ton of money with his recommendations), he is very eager to serve and ensure your stay is excellent, and he is a complete pleasure to chat with! He told us all about the history of the home and shared his own stories as well—you don’t get these kinds of personal touches at hotels! 10/10 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This place is a Scam. Booked a Double Queen Room, was taken to a room 6 flights up of stairs, no elevator, with a double bed and a twin bed. Got locked into the 2nd floor for over 10 minutes with no key to get out.Man finally came with a key to get out. Stated they did not have a room with 2 Queen beds on property. Place is getting run down in certain areas. Refuses to refund my money. We had to find another place 2 miles away with 2 queen beds for another $286. RHIS PLACE IS A FRAUD= RENTER BEWARE
Response from Management at Six Acres Bed and Breakfast on Jul 17, 2023
Hello Sherry,Sorry you chose not to say with us! Wow! What we would do with a 6 story home!!!! unfortunately we are a wonderful 3 story boutique bnb. The room you selected has had 2 queen beds in it since i purchased the home in 2004. Nothing was changed just to upset you i promise. I assure you that our innkeeper know what bed are in each room and would never have told you we did not have a room with 2 queens. I assure you... If any of this were true...or If Expedia believed you...... they would have refunded the money..Sincerely, Management

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Only issue was that there was no shower (bathtub only) available. We are an older couple and getting in and out of the tub was a slight inconvenience.

Gem Close to UC Yet Away from College Crazytown
This is one of the coolest places I've stayed while visiting kids attending UC. It's about a 4-mile drive from campus, through "Northside" - chalk full of great restaurants, cool shops, and an amazing used record store. Someone cancelled so the inntaker moved us to a larger room without us asking - it iwas HUGE. The mattresses were great. Breakfast is 100% from scratch and was amazing. You cannot beat the price and location. Tucked away on a nice greenspace. Kristen our host was so kind and caring and did everything to make us feel at home. I'll be back!!

When my husband and I arrived, we were told immediately that there was a problem and we could not have the room we reserved through Expedia. We were taken to the top floor of the annex building, which was woefully unfinished, not like the room pictures listed on the property's website.We walked past other rooms in the annex, finished nicely, doors open, unoccupied during our entire stay. The unfinished area seems to be the Expedia area. I have always had great experiences with Expedia and do not believe they are the problem, though the property places the blame on Expedia. The rooms were quiet and clean, Charles was very friendly, and breakfast was served.

My stay
I had a really nice time staying at Six Acres. At first, I wasn't too happy that I had to move my room during my stay, as they had a booking issue. I wanted to also have a bathroom that was attached to my room and was not able to once I switched rooms. The B&B is really quaint, and because it is old, it has some areas that need to be repaired. The window in my room was broken, and the toilet was also not on the hinges correctly. Some of the chairs were a little rickety. I thought Charles, the caretaker, was super sweet and a really good cook! He was very accessible and easygoing.

Think twice before reserving room here.
The bed and breakfast was locked on arrival at 4:20 PM. Called phone number on door and after a short time was met at the door by a polite and friendly gentleman. He was totally unaware of our reservation and was in fact doing repairs and painting a room. He had no rooms ready but suggested if we could return in an hour he could have a room prepared. The bed an breakfast was in total disarray which is to be expected when you are doing repair work but not when you are expecting guest. Partially undecorated Christmas tree in living room with clutter. There did not appear to be any other guest staying at the facility and we decided to go elsewhere and eventually found another place to stay later that evening. We are very unhappy and are amazed Hotels.com had an 8.5 out of 10 rating for this facility. Based on that recommendation we made "no refund" reservations. Makes us question the true value of the ratings on the website. This will probably be the last time we use hotels.com.

She had a family reunion that day when we arrive. Had us waiting for over 30 minutes, she never came back. A man Charlie show us to our room, gave a few details breakfast at 8 30 in the main house. Went for breakfast in morning & door was locked. WEnt around to the back & guest let us in. Would of been nice to have blankets as it was in the 40s & the web password. More communcation with staff or Info listed in rooms would have ben helpful.

The property did not live up to the description on line. The materials in the room were old, linens, curtains, etc. An air conditioning unit was left on the floor of our room along with a loose extension cord. TV/cable did not work in the room. Lots of strange noises at 4:30 in the morning prompted us to get out of bed and get on the road. The host was wonderful, but the property needs a lot of attention. Location is bad, off of an uphill stretch of road where the cars roar by at all hours. Turning in to the property is difficult because of the traffic and poor visibility of the entrance.

Its not a 9.4.
The place was closed up when I got there at 9pm. I had to call a number and wait to be let in. The TV cable wasn't working or the internet. Could not get them working. The tub had hairs in it and the water backed up to your ankles during a shower. The breakfast was delicious which was the only bright spot. The manager of the property was very nice.

Hello AAron, We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Your arrival was closer to 10 and outside of our normal check in times and we always request a call to let us know your time so that we are there to greet you! We were happy to host your entire and provide 2 extra breakfast at no additional charge to assist with the 10-15 minute delay in your being able to check in. We have solved all the issues with our cable and internet... we were in the process of upgrading so that we could convert to fire sticks and unfortunately it was the same day and our tech guy did not arrive until the following day. I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with the services we now are able to provide. You chose a shared bathroom on a Friday night with a full house... We are not always able to guarantee that another guest has not used that bath by 10 pm when you checked in. Thank you for the compliment on the breakfast and honestly do hope that we are provided with the opportunity to serve you again. Sincerely, Jyll, Manager

Will give a second chance.
The stay didn’t start out well. The first day we was told that they just whiched over from cable to a fire stick. But the fire stick was not set up. I was asked if I could do it which I didn’t have a problem with. When I tried to set it up, it would not hook to their WiFi. I tried about ten times with the same results. They gave me a second fire stick to try, but had the same results. The host even brought her fire stick from her room to see if it would would but no luck with hers. They then moved us to another building on the property to another room that had cable. This was a bigger room with a king bed that was a upgrade from the room we rented. We was told that we would have to move back to the other building once their maintenance person came in the next morning to fix the issue. Meaning I would have to carry mine and my wife’s bags across the parking lot for the 3rd time in less then 2 days. I wasn’t happy with this, but the host, Jill, was so sweet and felt bad about our situation. That made my frustration with this a little less irritating. The next morning we had breakfast the next morning and meet a wonderful couple. Jill gave us a tour of the grounds and brighten up our morning. Jill then told us that the owner felt bad and wanted to upgrade us to a suite in the first building we had moved from. So we did packed up our things again and headed across the parking lot to the building we originally book a room in. Saying all of this, because of Jill, we will be back.

Hello Michael, Thanks so much for allowing us to host you. I sincerely apologize for the issue with the firesticks! installing them was a little harder than we realized and so our website guy was king enough to come in and save the day! Our customers have requested better internet service and more movies so we are able to provide just that with our new service... On your next visit please mention this experience and allow us to offer you free upgrades in order to provide a more memorable experience! Sincerely, Kristin Kitchen, Owner

This property was part of the Underground Railroad. I wish we'd heard a little more of the history. Our room ended up being on the 3rd floor. When we arrived, the air conditioning was not on and extremely hot up stairs. There were two portable air conditioning units, but as hot as it was, it took quite a bit of time to cool. The building itself is around 180 years old. The owner has been fixing it up, and even though there are patches on top of patches on the ceilings, it was quirky. The breakfast consisted of an egg casserole bake, some sweet bread, and fruit. The casserole was good and hot!. Jill, who was very personable
