Well, we lucked out finding the Laughlin B&B. Our intent was to visit Crystal Bridges Museum - which was a real treat - but we had an added bonus by staying in such a lovely restored Victorian house in Bentonville. Thank you for sharing its history and making us feel welcome. We hope to return someday. Good luck to both of you."  

-- Dru and Mike, St. George, KS

"Don and Jenny,
We don't want to leave!!! You've created such a cozy home-away-from-home, which is actually better than home with Don's original gourmet breakfasts. (Not to mention those delicious chocolate chippers of his that I'll be remembering fondly tonight (alas, only a fond memory) - good recipe!) Since we can't stay, we'll do the next best thing and make this a see-you-later -- and you can be sure we'll share the find that Laughlin House and its special hosts are with everyone we urge to visit Crystal Bridges. That Laughlin House is totally delightful is, of course, a reflection on your both. Thanks for all your restaurant and DVD suggestions, and hints regarding the area. We'd have missed the overlook if it weren't for you! All the best,"   

-- Jean and Roger (a.k.a. Darby O'Shaughnessy -- See Trip Advisor for my official review!)
