This was a delightful historic home set in a peaceful valley. When we arrived we were pleased that we had been upgraded and were allowed to choose the room we desired. The room had a microfridge stocked with water and sodas. Our bed was comfy with soft sheets and we had a private bath stocked with amenities that you may have forgotton at home. Our host recommended a local restaurant and provided a menu which looked so good we took up her offer to make dinner reservations. The huge front porch has inviting rockers and a swing. There are lovely flower gardens to view also. Coffee was waiting for us in the morning. Our breakfast was served in a beautiful dining room overlooking the flower garden. There was fresh cream oatmeal with a poached apple. This was followed by eggs, toast, juices, fruit, tomato and a bacon wrapped sausage burger. The valley is very peaceful and the home so lovely we didn't want to leave. The only con is that the home is just off Hwy 194. It has become quite a busy little highway so the sound of passing cars even at 2 a.m. was disruptive. I'm used to living in the country so it probably wouldn't bother a city person.

  • Liked — Comfort and amenities

I had to take the time to comment on my experience with the innkeepers at the Taylor House Inn. My fiancee and I are planning a wedding, and are searching for a B&B to host the ceremony. We have contacted literally dozens of inns, and have spoken with numerous innkeepers. Tessa at the Taylor House Inn was by far the most pleasant and helpful. She was kind and eager to help, but I never felt like she was trying to "sell" me.
Unfortunately it turned out to be just too far for all of our family to travel, so we have to search elsewhere. If I am ever in NC, you can bet that I will be staying at Taylor House. Even when we sent an email regretfully declining, she took the time to write us a note wishing us a blessed life together. I hope I get to one day meet Tessa, and stay in her Inn.

This is a lovely Inn superbly run by the Inn-keepers to a very high standard. Nothing had been overlooked in recognising the needs of the traveller. Breakfasts were delicious and the conversations with fellow guests stimulating. An excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

  • Liked — its location and the character of the building
  • Disliked — nothing
