Grand Anne Bed & Breakfast, Keokuk

Cretia and Rick made our first visit to a B & B the most memorable part of our trip! They are a wealth of knowledge and personality. I will recommend this experience to everyone whom I want to impress. This house and the Caretakers are one of many treasures in Keokuk. The state-of-the-art bath and the view of the Mississippi River from the Tower Room has to be lived to be appreciated. I'll be counting the days when we get to make a return visit.

Where to start..........The mansion and neighborhood are just beautiful. The rooms are so fine, The weekend I was there it was a full house with all the suites and rooms booked. After everyone had turned in for the night I couldn't hear a thing, This place is sooooo comfortable, the grounds are incredible, lots of porches, parlors, niches plus a huge game room! By far the most impressive feature is the service! Rick & Cretia are available 24/7 and are just priceless. The breakfast is as fine as any 5 star hotel I've been to. The tours by Rick reveal a town full of great architecture and beautiful parks. I love Keokuk, and its Crown Jewels; Rick, Cretia & their fabulous Grand Anne Mansion. Best Regards, SA

This is simply the best!! The hosts are fantastic. The Mansion is unbelievable. The location couldn't be better. Our "Escape" from Palm Beach. We liked it so much we decided to buy a home a couple blocks away!!

What a great experience! The innkeepers took care of us as if we were old friends or favorite family members. Anything we needed, we just had to ask and it was quickly handled. Both of them were so knowledgeable and shared interesting stories of the home and the area. We had so much fun meeting people from other states, too! The home's main floor allows for comfortable visits and the breakfasts were organized to easily become acquainted with your housemates. The breakfasts were beautiful and so filling that there was no need for lunch. For such an old house and such hot weather, we were never uncomfortable. The town of Keokuk is a great surprise, too.

The new caretakers started in late Sept. of 2005. This will be the standard that all other B&Bs will be judged by us in the future. The place is beautiful yet comfortable. Rick and Cretia have a passion for this place which is displayed in the way they treat the house and their guests. They know and love to tell the history of the house and the town. The breakfasts by Cretia were lovely in presentation and taste. There is nothing negative we found in staying here and would highly recommend this.
