I was in town visiting a friend in Monticello and decided on Avera-Clarke House because it looked like the most authentic Victorian 1800 home. I was greeted by Brooke who is the owner and overall caretaker along with her husband. Brooke is charming, and exactly who you would envision running this beautiful home. As As I was Walking into the house I felt like I walked back into time, from the doorway to the gorgeous high ceilings, the beautiful period furniture and original artwork throughout the house. The incredible dining room, beautiful furniture chandeliers it just took you back in time. I Up the beautiful stairway my room was the scarlet room is the largest room in the home with a bathroom attached it is exactly as it is pictured and described. This room had a gorgeous bed, high ceilings, beautiful view of the backyard where the weddings take place, beautiful lighting in the backyard. Very comfortable bed, gorgeous floors just overall very comfortable, in the mornings I always had an amazing breakfast prepared by Brooke. Coffee was always available downstairs. If you’re in Monticello and you’re thinking about booking at this bed-and-breakfast I would not pass it up. It has so much history. It’s just a beautiful home it’s walking distance to the beautiful little town. Brooke was a Gem!!
