Let me start out by saying this is a great place to stay for any event whether it be for a honeymoon, anniversary or just a weekend away from then kids.
Now to give more info about this B&B.
This B&B is located in the heart of Montevallo, Alabama. When you plan your visit here don’t plan on running down the road for some place nice to eat. You won’t find it. This is a college town and what kind of student can afford $30+ per meal. Not mine, I can tell you that. Within a few blocks of this B&B you’ll find your standard college food, McDonalds, Hardees, KFC, Subway along with a few Chinese restaurants and a few BBQ hot spots. If you are looking for better cuisine than this then you will need to drive towards Alabaster or Pelham which is approx. 20-30 minutes away. Calera is close by but I do not know what it has to offer for cuisine. My guess would be about the same as Montevallo. So don’t plan on making your stay at the McKibbon House for fine dining, you will be sorely disappointed.
The McKibbon House is a beautifully restored home with beautiful furnishings. Lyle and Lee Harding have done a wonderful job with this home and I highly recommend this as a place to have a relaxing and restful stay. This was far better than any hotel I’ve been to.
The couple served breakfast promptly at 8:30am each morning and each time there was something different on the menu. Overall I give the cooking an “A” just for the fact it was not fast food and it had wonderful flavor. We were served over the two days we stayed, bacon, link sausage, eggs, cheese grits, pancakes, fresh fruit, biscuits and hash potatoes. Along with this they offer a bottomless amount of coffee and orange juice. They also have milk if you request it.
We stayed in the Lawley Room and the bed was extremely comfortable. This rooms bathing facility is very unique in that there is a claw foot tub in what looks like an existing closet which really added to the rather uniqueness of the room. You basically bathe in your room! If you are shy about taking a bath in front of someone either kick them out of the room or don’t stay in this room and choose one of the other rooms. I really enjoyed this room myself. The only drawback I could see someone might have about the room is the head of the bed is against the wall where the stairs coming up to the second floor is located. This means if you like going to bed early then you may have people wake you up when they come up the stairs. Of course they would have to either stomp a lot or just be inconsiderate. We were in the house with all rooms full and it never bothered us.
Again this is a beautiful home and I recommend it highly!
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
By the way, they do have a dog but it stayed outside the entire time we were there and the temperature stayed on a comfortable 72 degrees. Turning the ceiling fan on actually dropped the room temperature down even further which caused it to be rather chilly.
