Great place to relax!
Quite, comfortable, clean; best sleep I’ve had in months. Our host and hostess were professional land friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of he home and the surrounding area. The grounds were maintained beautifully and, given the current weather and drought conditions, were very well cared for. The breakfast, and the choices, were wonderful!

Home Away From Home
This was an excellent break from my routine stay at a local hotel chain. The Huffman House was everything you would want for a guest in your own home, cozy, spacious, clean and inviting. The owners were extremely gracious and took the initiative to go the extra mile in every detail of my stay. Kim even had coffee and a to-go breakfast for me every morning at 6:00am. My guestroom was perfect with a very comfortable bed. Even the family dog was fun and loving! I look forward to coming back to the Huffman home on my next trip to Minden!

Pleasant and quiet b&b
We were escaping a hurricane and chose this lively b&b. The hosts are delightful and very accommodating. Our room was big , pleasant and the bed was very comfortable. There is not a lot to do in the area, but this b&b is a very good place to stop if passing through.

A wonderful place with hospitable hosts
My wife and I stayed here while I was in Minden for two nights for a work-related trip. The couple who run the Huffman House (Jim and Kimberly) went out of their way to make sure our needs were met. My wife had an unexpected emergency project for her work, and after Kimberly had trouble helping my wife print files on their Mac printer, she actually went out and unexpectedly bought a brand new printer for us to use--Kimberly said they would need it and keep it for later for guests to use, but it was a gracious act which left my wife and me awestruck. So while that great act of kindness alone left a deep impression on us, everything about our experience at the Huffman House was excellent. There were exceptionally comfortable sheets (Jim said that he buys high thread count sheets when I mentioned it to him) and a delicious hot breakfast (each evening you choose among four set breakfasts and designate the breakfast time for the next morning). The hosts themselves were warm and welcoming and enjoyable to make conversation with, but at the same time were not intrusive and gave us space, and so we felt at ease throughout. I stayed in Minden previously several times for work (at the Holiday Inn Express and the Best Western), and would definitely recommend the Huffman House above all as the best place to stay in Minden, both for the comfort, the setting, the hospitality, and the unique experience. Jim and Kimberly were very accommodating, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

We had a pleasant stay, moreso for my wife than for me. The accommodation was was quaint but small, which we knew in advance. The bathtub is tiny;okay for my short wife but not for me.The owner was very nice and helpful.We were with friends who were in the much larger downstairs suite, and we enjoyed the patio area where we gathered.

Would Not Recommend
We met our host at check in, and I visited with him a few minutes that evening while my husband was napping. That's the last & only time we saw anyone our entire 3 night stay except for when we called him and he came up to fix the toilet handle that came off and to tell him our door stuck when we opened or closed it. We did see their daughter who looked about 12 years old whose room was across the stairs from us. No hospitality whatsoever - no coffee in the room or anywhere to be found (only a cold empty carafe on the buffet) the carpet was stained & dirty in our room, and the kitchen adjoining the dining room was filth. The pool area was nice but there was a huge mud hole in front of the gate to get into it & you had to side step around it to get in. On the side of the big wrap around porch there was a swing, but the chairs & table by it had a full ashtray with butts, a trash can overflowing with empty cigarette boxes & a mostly empty wine glass that like like it had been there for several months. The whole place was unattended most of the time, they both had full time jobs outside the home & they didn't hire any help that we ever saw but I did see they had an expensive security system. The irony of this is that he had explained to me that both of their outside jobs are in Hotel Management.
