Hermitage Bed & Breakfast "Aunt Marthas"

Ms. Martha who runs it is so sweet and kind. Amazing house and very close to everything. Made us feel welcome and makes Amazing blueberry muffins

Absolutely beautiful. If I had not driven there myself, I wouldn't have known I was in the heart of the town of Brookville!

My husband and I stayed there Saturday night. Martha is a wonderful informative host and her home is a museum filled with authentic antiques. We’ll go there again.

My sister and I stayed here last night and we enjoyed it very much. The owner was so very nice and she made us feel at home. She is so knowledgeable about history and current events. If you want to spend some time in cozy and comfortable home, then you need to call her and make reservations. We will definitely stay there again.

Gorgeous house and marvelous hostess. Would go back, 10/10. The owner, Martha, does not call this place "Aunt Martha's" as it is called on Google maps. But going there, I felt as if she was truly my aunt. She makes your feel like family or old friends. We sat up past midnight talking and laughing with Martha, listening to her wisdom and fascinating stories. We played games and sang songs together, shared a bar of chocolate and talked about old times and new. Martha is smart as a whip, and keeps that huge house in tip-top order all by herself.

We took several walks at the lovely park by the river next to the house. Lots of locals were out decorating the park for Christmas, and they were all so friendly.

The house is kept as old fashioned as possible. There are electric lights and modern plumbing. You can bathe in an antique clawfoot tub. You'll sleep in antique beds under handmade quilts and blankets. Most of the furniture is antique and original to the house, but very comfortable and beautiful. Heating such a large old house can be tricky, but Martha showed us how to maintain a comfy temperature. Each room has a heater, and rooms that aren't being used are kept closed to save the heat. Martha showed us how to adjust the room heater, provided extra blankets, and we all slept very comfortably.

Martha made a simple and delicious hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, muffins, coffee and juice.

The house is fascinating and Martha is a treasure. We went to Brookville to see the lake and visit Metamora, but The Hermitage turned out to be the best part.
