The History Of Huffman House Bed and Breakfast The Huffman House Bed and Breakfast is a Queen Ann Revival home, that was built by Mr. J.H. Nelson in 1918 on the site of the 1870 Reams house. Wood and architectural pieces from the original home was used in the construction of the much larger Nelson homestead. Currently the Huffman home has over 5100 ft.² in the main living quarters with the adjacent pool house adding an additional 300 ft.² plus a second full kitchen. Kimberly and James Huffman purchased this home in 2015 and begin a cosmetic renovation to freshen this grand old historic home. Kimberly and James both hoteliers by trade secured the proper documentation and permits to transform this grand historic home into a Luxury Micro Inn / Bed and Breakfast in the downtown Minden Historic District in June of 2015, and at that time formed Huffman Management, LLC as the operating entity . The Huffman House B&B is now renting rooms and has received outstanding reviews for its guests.

Hotel Tips
Not all online booking systems are fully integrated with hotel reservations systems so there is a chance that smaller hotels are hand entering your stay from a fax machine which leaves room for errors. Book directly with hotel to avoid any problems and ask for a price match if you find a better price online.
Policies vary on the availability of pet friendly rooms to it is wise to be open, honest and upfront during the booking process. You may find yourself kicked out or even paying a large deposit if you are not in a pet-friendly hotel and bring one anyway. New ADA laws are fuzzy though as service animals are not required to be documented and proprietors are legally not allowed to ask if the animal is a pet vs. a service animal.
Upon check-in, slip the desk agent a tip and ask for the best room they can find at your current booked rate. Often times a quick $10 or $20 bill can go a long way towards the mood of the person who directly decides where you lay your head for the night.
