I must admit I was a bit nervous about this decision. In all my travels, I had never stayed at a B&B, and the vision I created for the place was less than flattering. I expected on old creaky house, possibly haunted, decorated in a style of days gone by, with an older couple serving host eager to share their life stories. Well....that was exactly what I got. What had not occurred to me before the trip, however, was that all those negative expectations were actually what made the Simpson Flint house beautiful.
The house itself has aged well for being over 100 years old. It sits on the corner of a quiet neighborhood street in downtown Sandusky, and is anything but conspicuous in appearance. In fact, many of the lifelong residents of the area to which we spoke had never even heard of it. That can be a good or bad thing I guess, but in this case it certainly wasn't a fault.


Overall, my first experience in a B&B was a great one. While my negative expectations were dead on, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that sometimes in life what we see as the negative is actually the positive. And so it seems that this hotel snob may just have to give a B&B another try.
