My husband and I had a wonderful weekend staying at the Taylor House. It was so clean and decorated so beautiful. The front porch was so peaceful listening to the brook across the way. Our room was wonderful and comfortable. Tessa and Bernard were the most pleasant hosts and Tessa had the most delicious breakfast ready for us in the morning.

This was a wonderful relaxing trip. The house was beautiful with plenty of space. Each room was unique. The grounds were well kept and the hosts were friendly, accommodating and they went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The food was excellent; a traditional-style French breakfast. It is easy to find and there are many things to do in the area, especially places to enjoy the outdoors. We will definitely stay there again.

My new husband and I just got back from our honeymoon at the Taylor House and was absolutely blown away from the GREAT service and environment that we experienced! We stayed in the honeymoon (attic) suite, it was so comfortable and great for a cozy getaway from the rest of the world! Mr. and Mrs. Russo keep such a wonderful inn that you really don’t believe it till you see it. The breakfast was ready everyone morning when we woke up, everyday was also something different and delicious. The linens and beds were definitely the softest I’ve ever used and were changed every day as well as having the room cleaned every day. They were so friendly and also helped us every day to find something new to do during the days of our trip. Though the towns around the inn are quaint and quiet there was so many things to do within miles of the inn. The inn was so great though that you almost want to just hang out around the house all day with its spectacular mountain view across the street and quiet, homely environment.

The only way to know how fantastic The Taylor House is, is to stay there. Everything, from location, service, friendliness, charm, food, etc. was perfect. The food, that's a story in and of itself. A breakfast in the finest dining establishments around the world would pale next to Tessa’s. We left The Taylor House feeling more like we had visited old friends Bernard and Tessa than merely met the innkeepers. If you travel anywhere remotely close to Valle Crucis, NC The Taylor House is a must-stay place. Better yet, make it your destination.
