UAM Trotter House — Hotel in Monticello

I would rate the Trotter House a 10 if I could. The staff were knowledgeable in regards to shopping, ghost searches, cemeteries and local eats. We were hoping to find a ghost at the trotter house and honestly too many things did happen that we could not explain. Oh!
