Frommer's Travel Guide Review Date: April 2006

If you like your B&B a bit on the unusual side, look no further. In place of Victorian architecture and antiques, you'll find rooms in what once were chicken coops and feed silos at the Old Chicken Farm Art Center. Our favorite: the Artist's Loft, situated within two cylindrical silos (the bedroom in one, a sitting area and bathroom in the other) connected via arched doorways and decorated with interesting murals and mosaics. There are also the themed Santa Fe and French rooms in the old coop. Outside, you can get a firsthand look at artists at work or relax in one of the many shady nooks and crannies on the property, including a sculpture-laden courtyard and a covered patio. The restaurant, the Silo House, serves prix-fixe dinners by reservation on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

Vibrancy of a big city, friendliness of a small town. We stayed in the funky Artist‘s Loft at the Chicken Farm Art Center‘s bed and breakfast, the Inn at the Art Center, lovingly run by Jerry and Susan Warnell. We‘d be happy to return sometime soon.
