Ruddick-Nugent House

This is a charming b&b located just one mile from downtown Columbus, IN. The owners are extremely friendly and hospitable, and welcome guests with complimentary snacks, water/​soda, and excellent amenities. The house was built in the late 1800s and while the owners spent many years renovating it, the house still holds much of its original Victorian charm. There are 4 guest rooms on the second floor, all generously sized. The room we stayed in had a jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and private balcony overlooking the large yard and garden– definitely worth the extra $ 30 for the upgrade!
The innkeepers made a fabulous breakfast in the morning. A beginning course of a fruit parfait, followed by a buffet style meal including horseradish eggs, pumpkin pancakes, glazed bacon, fresh pineapple, and pastries. We ate breakfast with the other guests and Dennis, the innkeeper, who entertained us with stories from his many travels.
This is a charming place I would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a weekend or one night getaway.

This is a spectacular bed and breakfast. No cheap, but less expensive than some other snootier spots in town. Very friendly and intimate. They serve a lovely breakfast ‘en famille”. One of the nicest stays I have ever had.
