Visitors praise the Beall Mansion for its beautiful, well-maintained historical architecture, interesting tours, and accommodating hosts who share the house's history. However, some guests found the property to be worn and tired, with continental breakfasts in a bag and a lack of fresh towels.

What a wonderful, charming, beautiful place. My daughter got married there this weekend and I'm at a loss for words. Truly a beautiful place to get married. Special touches. Wonderful staff. Hidden gem in historic Alton. You made this a very unique special day our my daughter's.

Just as a heads up, it appears that possibly the Beall Mansion is closed. Have tried emailing and calling for information on several occasions and received no response. No open slots on their website reservations system. No reviews have been posted for over a year.

My husband and I eloped and had our ceremony here three years ago this September. They offer a wonderful package for a small ceremony which included a stay at the bed and breakfast, a spot for the ceremony, an officiant, sparking cider or champagne, and a lovely little cake from a local bakery. We chose to have our ceremony outdoors on their beautiful grounds. It was a perfect day and although I was 5 months pregnant and feeling far from beautiful, the ceremony was gorgeous (and my hubby, oh, so handsome). Would recommend for a wedding big or small, or just as a romantic getaway.

Not sure why, but the 3 star review I left a year ago disappeared. It was more like a 2 star stay. How is it that only the 5 star reviews remain? Breakfast was a joke paper plates and Styrofoam cups. room temp water bottles were the only drinks. paid extra for flowers and Champaign we got pieces of a fake rose on the bed and a GLASS of Champaign. beautiful home and property, but for the almost $1000 for a 2 night stay I feel like I was taken advantage of.
