Beautiful house in a lovely...
Liked: Beautiful house (and the castle at another location where you check in is even more stunning). Neat vintage home from 1877! All in all, we ended up with a place to sleep for the night, very convenient location
Disliked: Weird layout. There’s a bathtub IN the room with you, no curtain so basically not at all inviting for a shower. Also, very unprofessionally run. First off we had to check in at a completely separate place about a mile from Upjohn House. We had a car so not too bad but what if you were coming from the airport by Uber? Next, when we were being checked in she asked us what price we had been quoted? While I was looking up my Booking.com receipt she stated a number over $100 higher and asked if that was okay. When I showed her the Booking price she accepted it but still a weird thing. Finally, when we eventually got to Upjohn House we had been told the key would be in the door to our room but it wasn’t. We had to call the number given to us and the person did arrive quickly (about ten minutes) to be fair, but again still weird.

Quirky, pretty, but terrible bed...
Liked: The building was quirky but beautiful! Filled with ornate furniture. Very funky.
Disliked: The bed was very uncomfortable! The toilet and bath (not a shower) were placed in the corner of the room with no barrier other than a folding screen that did not hide the entire area. It was awkward since I was sharing the room with my teenage child!

I recommend that "Booking.com" take...
Liked: WE did not stay there because no one was there. We tried calling the number we were given and just got a voice mail.
Disliked: We were left high and dry. Doors were locked and no one inside.

Beautiful place, nice people with...
Liked: Beautiful home, friendly staff
Disliked: Staff at Henderson Castle is nice, Nate is nice, he is a caretaker of Upjohn. There are no staff members at Upjohn and it feels a bit unorganized. The first room we were given had not been cleaned, the toilet was a wreck from a previous user. We were given a different room that was decent but there were spots on the floor that I wiped up and an unsightly/inconvenient situation with the power cord running from a closet to the television that was the shared power source for the heater and the coffee maker.

Horrible, unsatisfactory, very disappointing
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: They didn’t explain that all of the amenities were located at the Henderson Castle, plus I still haven’t received my deposit back yet and the property manager has been very rude . He’ basically called me a liar even after he received the verification of our stay. The night of our check in we waited over two hours before we were checked in. The whole experience was very disappointing. I felt that us being an interracial couple was a great deal to with the situation. They were no as hospitable towards us they were the other guest( were all white)! I will never book with them and not recommend them

Very nice, very relaxing.
Liked: Very relaxing environment, both in terms of room comfort and the comings and goings in the house. Almost felt like I was staying at a friends the way it's set up.

Not impressed, very disappointed.
Liked: It was very clean, and comfortable. The two gentlemen were very pleasant.
Disliked: My husband was locked out . We weren’t had no clue we were locked in the for the evening. In the brochure on line it explains the Upjohn house as having the spa, massages, hit tub, heated pool and sauna at that facility. We never got to enjoy any of it because we were never told until after 8:30 it was at the Henderson castle. We never received our robes or slippers, complimentary breakfast. Plus I walked in with my reservation and confirmation on my phone they had there for over an hour then completed our reservation. Our time was wasted, and what I believe to be vital information wasn’t not given. We definitely didn’t get our money’s worth
