What Guests Are Saying
“I went with my mother to celebrate Mother’s Day yesterday. We stayed in the lipscomb room and everything about it and the end was superb! The landscaping on the ground was immaculate. My mother truly enjoyed herself and don’t even get me started about the breakfast. It was beyond delicious. Highly recommend this in as a destination! You won’t be disappointed. The N and the room was super clean and everywhere you walked in the end and surrounding the ground outside you could hear calming background music. The location of the inn is tucked away and surrounded by a lot of very old magnolia trees.” — Arlene Q., 5 stars
“I booked The Cottage to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I had the option to book it on a Sunday night, so it was available. The cottage was perfect. We enjoyed being inside and we walked around the garden outside. It was a very peaceful 24 hours. The room was very clean. The customer service was fantastic. I highly recommend this bit on breakfast.” — Neshat M., 5 stars
“Everything from our reception to a special request was handled easily. The grounds and the home was immaculate, everything well lit for evenings and comfortable. Our sleeping room was huge with all the possible amenities. Breakfasts were delicious and the fruits carved was an enjoyable bonus. There is nothing to change or improve. Congrats!” — PuzzleSolver855, 5 stars

Everything from the jet tub, to the steam shower, and just feeling like we were back in the mountains in the home state. We will sure be back and will definitely be recommending this place for special dates to our friends and family."
