HEAR WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY:
Was able to attend the 2 day mother's day guided tours of Buffalo Bill's house. I've been a fan of movie for over 30 yrs. Thank you to Chris Rowan for opening up his home and sharing the glory of a truly iconic film with the public. It was an unforgettable experience to explore such a legendary movie location in person. CHRIS gave the tour and we learned more about the history of the house, and the film! The house is in great condition, clean, super friendly host...I'd stay there hard sometime. Pittsburgh fan of silence of the lambs, and proud owner of a Buffalo bill tattoo!!!

This house is a must see. The tour will give you a whole new respect for the film - knowing you are walking in Jame and Clarice’s footsteps will give you chills. The big reveal at the end is a must to experience. The owners are very knowledgeable and approachable and pictures are welcome. I will definitely be booking a stay. Thank you Chris for the time you invested to bring us this experience.

As a mothers day gift I bought myself a 2 hour guided tour of this amazing house!! I wanted to come and experience the house as an avid horror movie fan but I wanted to stay because of how absolutely beautiful the home itself was! So much care and love is put into the house and the tour by the owners Chris & Deanna and it shows. So many interesting pieces and eye catching small details are all throughout this priceless gem. Chris who navigates and narrates the tour is engaging, informative and very very chill. Enjoyed my tour and my day very much. I was enchanted completely.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
