My husband and I have stayed at the 4-1/2 Street Inn three times now and have enjoyed our stay each visit. We love the character of the house and the beauty of the grounds. The inn, located a little outside of the downtown area, is close enough to walk to a number of restaurants (provided it isn't raining, as it... More

I met with college friends for a reunion, and we enjoyed every minute at the Inn. Helene and Rick are gracious and accommodating hosts... The room was comfortable and charming. Happy hour was a special time when Rick and Helene shared wine and cheeses with guests, and we met other travelers, sharing stories and vacation tips. We will be back...... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, cozy and clean bed and breakfast. We have recommended this gem of a B&B to family and friends, and those who have visited on our recommendation, have fallen in love just as much as we with the cozy atmosphere, the amazing cooking and the beautiful hosts Rick and Helene...

As my first experience of a bed-and-breakfast, the 4 1/2 Street Inn was a wonderful introduction. The room was very comfortable as were the beds. The Victorian ambiance was charming. We truly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts as well as the evening "happy hours" which gave us a chance to meet other visitors to Highlands. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and... More

When we find ourselves needing rest and relaxation we always look forward to the tranquility of 4 1/2 Street Inn. Rick and Helene make you feel like you have come to your home in the mountains. You can be as quiet as you wish, or engage in conversation over wine and Helene's wonderful cooking. Rick is so personable and makes... More

Not only are the prices extremely great but the home made breakfasts are worth the trip alone! The rooms are great and some have their own fireplace for warming up the chilly nights in addition to the wall unit heater. The bathrooms are a tad small so if you are a tall person it might become an issue but worked... More

While I don't often post reviews on Trip Advisor, I felt compelled to address the recent review from the guest that stayed at the inn last September. We have been coming to the 4 1/2 Street Inn since they opened many years ago and were just there last month as they opened the new season. Part of the experience that... More

The 4-1/2 Street Inn is delightful and my favorite place to stay in Highlands. I have been going here since 2005 and love Room 9, with its charming bathroom and footed tub. Other rooms are also wonderful for those who may want a larger room, fireplace, etc. The occasion of my recent visit in late April/early May was to relax... More

My husband and I stayed at this lovely inn in April. Helene and Rick are gracious and accommodating hosts who really know the Highlands area and have plenty of local knowledge to share. Our room on the first floor was cozy and quiet with a door out to the wrap-around porch where lots of rockers were an invitation to sit... More

After reading your "excellent" reviews, we looked forward to the splendid value there. Not so- bedroom on lower floor was musty and damp in the fall last year. Door didn't lock- breakfast was mediocre- same for all 3 days there. Returning guests were treated like good old friends but we sat ignored at the wine reception though we initiated conversation...

Here at the 4- 1/2 Street Inn we feel fortunate to have so many new guests that have become repeat guests that become friends. Our Trip Advisor Reviews reflect the thoughts and views of both our new and repeat guests. We try very hard to insure that all of our guests feel valued, welcome, and like old friends regardless of... More
