Meet the Innkeeper
The Innkeeper, Mrs. Vicki Ippolito, is the gracious hostess of the Mathis House located at 600 Main. She will greet you upon check-in and provide a wonderful historical tour of this 8,500-square-foot Victorian Mansion.

Five-star hospitality is a standard at the Mathis House that is ensured to be delivered to each guest who visits this magnificent home. Guests are encouraged to call the Innkeeper prior to their visit to provide any details regarding their stay and give an estimated time of arrival.
The Innkeeper will introduce you to your guest suite, provide information on local attractions, care for your special requests, maintain the cleanliness of your room & property, and prepare outstanding refreshments upon your arrival. Vicki sets the scene to a three-course gourmet breakfast each morning, while you relax and meet visitors in the dining room. Visiting a home that is 122 years old is a treat and you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. During the tour, you will learn about the modern amenities that are included with your stay while enjoying hospitality at its finest. While the Innkeeper is attentive and engaging, she encourages each guest to enjoy the home as if it were their own while you enjoy your privacy.

Guest Review
OUTSTANDING!!!
"Attended a wedding in the area and decided to stay at 600 Main for the evening after the wedding. It was fabulous!!! Innkeeper Vicki was so friendly and accommodating for pick up of keys, providing information, etc. Rooms were perfect and although there were other visitors at the B&B that evening, it was so quiet and peaceful. In the morning we were greeted with a 3-course breakfast that was outstanding. We would give 600 Main a 10-star rating if we could and will definitely return if we are again in the area!!!"
