Wonderful B&B

Adorable house in historic Montford area. We stayed in the Magnolia room. It was very spacious with a comfortable bed and accessible bathroom. Our hostess, Alicia, provided fresh baked snacks and beverages all day long. The breakfast was absolutely delightful - especially the baked apples! There was even a singer on Friday night along with the happy hour. There is a gorgeous pond in back of the main house - just watch your head, as the property features a massic walnut tree and those suckers are heavy!

Good but not great.

Mattress too soft for us. No standup shower in the room we were given. Food was good, not excellent for the price of stay. Owner and staff never smiled.

The location was fantastic. It was walking distance from several very good restaurants and a short drive from even more. There was a nearby walking path that went to UNC-A and to the Botanical Center. A nice easy and wonderful walk. The breakfasts were great and the selection of coffees and teas were perfect. The room and house was well appointed and the furnishings were like art.
