About this property

Matrons Room at The Willis-James

Located on the ground floor in an older part of the house, this quaint room is ADA accessible with queen bed, open shower concept, in-bedroom vanity, and comfortable reading chair. The historic blue of the mantle, accented by a marble tile hearth, flawlessly blends with the bold colors of a rag cloth rug.
Throughout the history of 58 W. 5th, there were numerous women who have been the bedrock in establishing and preserving this home as a beacon in Chillicothe society. For nearly 100 years the house was passed down through the matrilineal line of Ellen Tiffin Cook, daughter of the first governor of Ohio Edward Tiffin. We pay our respect to all these dignified and hospitable ladies by naming, what has always been considered, the "Matrons Room".

An elegant historic house renovated to the nines and furnished by a designer with every guest comfort in mind. Comfy beds, space to work and relax, excellent full breakfast, it's a wonderful luxury experience at a reasonable price. And it's within walking distance of Chillicothe's best restaurants and shopping.

A beautiful gem!

The Willis-James’ hosts, Drew and Stephanie (and Dante), out did themselves with the attention to detail and cleanliness of the property. Our breakfasts were so delicious, too! A very comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

LOVED our experience at the Willis-James!

My wife and I needed a weekend away and feel fortunate to have discovered the Willis-James. What an amazing property, which has been so well restored. Steph, Drew & Dante could not have been better more welcoming hosts. They and their bed and breakfast are such a compliment to the wonderful town of Chillicothe! We will be back!
