Such a beautiful property! The house is gorgeous, views are beyond stunning, bed was so comfy and the private balcony was unbeatable. John and Marsha are just lovely, and I can honestly say, they have one of the BEST breakfasts I have ever had at a B&B!! We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time during our short stay. I’m sorry we had to leave early due to a family emergency . We do plan on returning as soon as we can. Marsha, your breakfasts were great and the views were amazing. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Great Cabin in the North Carolina Woods!!

Very charming 5 room B&B outside of Boone, NC. Very traditional looking cabin but in tip top shape with lots of features and a great view. John and Marsha and their team make you feel comfortable and at home. Internet is great, a pleasant surprise in the woods. Delicious breakfast but the only nit is that I would like some fruit (not just juice) for breakfast. Add some berries, melons, bananas or apples. Will make a huge difference. We would definitely stay here again.

Couples paradise but not for family Business

Didn’t stay was there on family business and my search was put in as close to the college. This place was described as a couples retreat once I got there. Not close to college. Description was not accurate. Gentleman charged me the full price although we didn’t stay 1 night.

Terrific B&B in the Mountains

John & Marsha are the perfect hosts of this beautiful B&B in the mountains. Breakfast was tasty and unique each day we were there. The room was on the second floor which require a fairly steep flight of stairs. It is central to the area; Blowing Rock, Boone,Banner Elk, etc.

Attention was given to every detail including exceptional sheets, the best soaps and shampoo, and a refrigerator stocked with complimentary sodas, flavored waters, and beer, as well as snack foods and coffee and tea. The facility was immaculate and provided beautiful mountain views as well as a relaxing front garden. Our only negative thoughts were regarding the breakfast. While the morning's menu was posted the day before, and the food both days was really good, it was a light meal and you weren't given options unless you said you had a restricted diet. I understand that with a fixed menu you can save on food costs and not have waste, but even a choice of cereal with milk or a couple eggs in addition to the delicious prepared menu would have provided inexpensive yet valued options.
