The space

The Paris room is decorated in the turn of the century “arte nouveau” style that began in the Czech Republic by Alphonse Mucha. The focal point is the mahogany arte nouveau gold gilt bed frame which was especially manufactured for The White House of Eldora Bed and Breakfast in England. The room has a built in cabinet with four drawers for guest use as well as a small closet. Fold out table and chairs are available in the room for other belongings if necessary. For early risers who love the morning sunrise, this is the perfect room. Otherwise, for others who might like to sleep longer, light darkening and temperature regulating curtains are installed

Guest access

Guests have access to all areas of the house including the patio garden next to the Garden room, second floor deck, salon and dining room. The kitchen is restricted.

Other things to note

Guests should be aware that the main bath is shared if there are other guests. The bath/shower has a telephone faucet and takes some getting used to. If all rooms are occupied some bath articles may be kept in the guests room where there is adequate place for hanging damp towels and placing personal articles. Otherwise, there are built in cabinets and drawers in the bathroom as well as towel rods where guests may keep their personal care products.

All mattresses and pillows were bought brand new before the opening in 2017. They are covered with mattress and pillow protectors against bedbugs. The linens and blankets are laundered with skin sensitive detergent.

A continental breakfast of biscuits or rolls and/or cinnamon rolls are offered or cereals if preferred, with coffee,tea and juice. Full sit-down warm breakfasts are available for an additional $8.50 per person. Guests can choose from a variety of options such as scrambled eggs with bacon and rolls or biscuits, Belgian waffles served with fruit, or French toast served with fruit for example. Organically grown foods(fruit, honey, maple syrup, some dairy products and always organic eggs are used as available). Coffee is freshly ground in the morning and can be combined with organic decaf to produce a half calf blend. Specialties served with breakfast include Amana Colony apple butter and Nutella.

Last but not least, as mentioned in the description there are cats on the property but they are contained in areas away from guests. They are usually very quiet but an occasional meow or patter of paws on the floor or scratching on doors/walls may not be totally unavoidable.

We are bicyclist and pet friendly. Construction workers are welcome.
