The property was very clean and beautiful, but after 4 or 5PM it didnt seem like there was staff on site. I had no issues that needed staff. It is located right off the highway which was great. But I had to search for places to eat, nothing around, didnt seem like any restaurants within walking distance. The only food on site was breakfast between 8-1AM. There was water, hot choc and coffee in the room. This is the only reason I would not stay again.

The staff was very helpful from the time we booked our room until time we left. They offered a small bottle of red or white wine and asked my preference before we arrived as well as confirming when room was ready. The breakfast was great, which comes with the room. The room was very spacious, comfortable beds and loved the Victorian decor. We will be back.

I hate to give a bad review but this property which looks very quaint and beautiful in the pictures is in a need of updating or a significant freshening. Items in the room were literally falling apart and locks on the door that didn't work and dirt and unfinished ceiling repairs. I understand that it is an old historic facility and that there will be certain. nuances in keeping historical charm. This was a disappointment compared to other B&B's we've stayed at. Also it is on the corner of a very busy intersection and the noise can be a little overwhelming at times

Check In was from 4PM -6 PM In 2025 that doesn't work people are coming various times in the day. Front desk person left just after 5 PM so any service or concern was unavailable outside of an emergency. Was sent a text saying I'd get some complimentary wine didn't see the text till after I settled in the room around 5:30 PM so too bad don't get it why didn't you remind me at check in. Also told at check in get 2 bottles of water, they were not there well the housekeeper was supposed to put them in the refrigerator, but she didn't and now I'm gone (after 5:30) So too bad. The wine and the water are really little unimportant things but demonstrates a level of service far below even low to moderate priced chains.

This place was different from anything we have stayed in before. The decor was interesting & there was a lot of touches that showed the owner paid attention to details. Our stay was pleasant.

She is a charming old lady. Maybe a little past her prime but her age just adds to her personality. This is a unique property that was once a grand home, so enjoy it for that. She is not your usual cookie-cutter chain. You will sleep in a room that was once, long ago, someone’s bedroom. The staff was perfect. The split of wine waiting for us in our room was a nice touch, and the complimentary table service breakfast really sealed the experience.

My husband and I stayed in the Piedmont Suite. It was a really nice room. It was very large with a sitting area. The architecture of this historical home is beautiful. The restaurant is nice with wonderful gourmet food. The staff are nice and very accommodating. The location is perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Randall, the host, is excellent!! He communicated with us before we arrived and was there to welcome us. When there was a problem at 2:00 a.m. with a water faucet not turning off, Randall was quick to repair that. And he was very friendly and knowledgeable when telling us about the area. We were there during a cold spell, and the room was cold. The desktop refrigerator was very small — we were traveling with snacks and soft drinks, and they didn’t all fit. An extension cord would have been useful to help us charge two phones and a CPAP. Waffles at breakfast were tasty.
