If you search charming in the dictionary, it’ll be accompanied by a picture of Kaleidoscope Inn. Since it’s an inn, there’s no front desk or reception. You receive the front door code and room code in advance. Even though it’s small, there’s still a roomy living room and kitchen, plus a large backyard. I’d definitely come back.

Our room 'volume 1" was excellent. Large king size bed, love the double shower heads and comfortable couch. My suggestion is to have a box of tissues in the room/bathroom and have sugar or sweetener in the room to go with the coffee maker. I went out to get a up of coffee in the main house/lobby area, but there were no cups (ceramic or paper) to make a cup of coffee. It would be nice to have paper coffee cups "to go". Nice size desk if needed, but a pen or pencil with a small note pad would have been nice.

The place was charming and the room very comfortable and spacious. It had everything you need. The only complaint I would have is that because it is an old Victorian, every window and door is loos and there is no insulation whatsoever. That means that you can hear every sound from every room and even with a breeze the windows and doors rattle all night. I guess that's what old Victorians are like.
