Bailey House Bed and Breakfast

We stayed at the Bailey House for a short overnight visit and it turned out to be our favorite part of the trip. Nancy and Stan were very accommodating, knowledgeable about the history of the home and town, and great conversationalists! The house is obviously well cared for and full of history that Nancy will gladly share about with you. Our room was spacious and quiet and the rates were very reasonable. We especially enjoyed breakfast with the Purdy’s and will be back for another visit in the future!

Stumbled across this spot when traveling through Ohio on a cross-country trip. The stay blew away my expectations. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. One of the two hosts provided a free tour of Ulysses S. Grant's childhood home, and I suspect that she is one of the foremost authorities in the country on Grant's early life. Thanks again for the stay, and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone traveling through the area!

Absolutely wonderful experience. My wife and I wanted a historic experience in a quiet and homey place and The Bailey House delivered. Being a regular visit of U.S. Grant and across the street from the 18th president’s boyhood home, it is steeped in history. Nancy and Stan Purdy are a wealth in knowledge, for those interested in the local history, and are just a joy to converse with over breakfast. We had a very private room with period furnishings at a very fair price. Just what we needed.

Bailey House B&B is a grand structure in a tiny town. We went to see U.S. Grant's boyhood home. You can throw an acorn from Baily House to Grant's home, they're that close. We arrived late, but Nancy and Stan Purdy greeted us warmly and quickly sat us down for stories about Grant's connection to the house. The Bailey's were close with the Grant family, and as an adult Ulysses corresponded regularly with Mrs. Bailey. Two of Grant's letters are on display. Nancy's family has lived in the house for generations, so she cares deeply about the house. Stan and Nancy also care deeply about Grant's boyhood home, and Nancy leads tours of it. Our room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was quick, on account of our travel schedule. The Purdy's let us borrow from their library of Grant

We spent the night there so that we could visit Grant’s Boyhood Home and other Grant sites in the area. The house is a stunning piece of history. Our room was furnished with beautiful family antiques. The proprietors were great! Nancy told us about the history of the home and its connection to Ulysses S Grant. She also arranged for us to get into the boyhood home early so that we could fit more sightseeing into our schedule. Plus she gave us good information about dinner options and how to locate the Grant murals in the area. Bailey House Bed and Breakfast is a great place to stay if you are in the Georgetown area. I hope we’ll have the opportunity for a return visit.
