“Our Absolute Favorite Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

We found ourselves looking for a place to stay in Waynesville for a dear friends August wedding. As a suggested place to stay from the bride-to-be, we started looking online at the reviews and website. Soon we were 90% sold on the idea we would be staying. I called to ask some questions about The Windover Inn – as well as the area. Was pleasantly surprised to speak with Glenn.

Since most of the wedding party were coming from out of town, we wanted to stay somewhere a group of us could hang out and catch up. We found out one couple had booked (they also have written an 5 star review) a room. One of the many benefits of staying at The Windover is if 3 rooms book for the same event, all rooms get a great group discount.

Upon arriving, we met Glenn and Jennifer. They welcomed us in (early no doubt) and gave us a lay of the land, offered us drinks, told us when dinner would be served – when breakfast would be served – pretty much just let us know they were happy to be hosting us.

Throughout the weekend, we enjoyed top-notch cooking, excellent service, and just an amazing time with them both. Even after having a bit of a late night porch gathering on our last evening, Jennifer was sweet enough to pack up our fresh homemade scones to go.

Having been fortunate to stay at some very nice bnb's – The Windover Inn (Jen & Glenn) have our number one spot as the favorite bnb for service, quality, vibe and rooms. There's not a bad spot in house! But we definitely recommend spending some time that porch!

Room Tip: Every room we saw was awesome. Not a bad one in the house!

“Did not want to leave!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012 via mobile

Jen and Glen run the whole show! Thier standard is obviously very high! The house is a magnificent huge Victorian beautifully maintained and the grounds are inviting to explore and relax in! The inn is spotless but comfortable. The food is top notch (you can taste the love) and very acommodating to dietary requests. Our hosts are well informed on all manor of things to do in the area and directions to get you there. Jen and Glen's amazing service reflects a love for what they do. And they do it better than anyone! In addition to all of the above, thier personal warmth and hospitality made us never want to leave!

“This is what a B&B is all about!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

From the friendly innkeepers, to the comfortable beds, to the inviting front porch this B&B hits a home run. My wife and I enjoy staying in B&B's and this one is in our top few. We will be back to Waynesville, if only to stay here!!

“Highly Recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

Beautiful home with the perfect front porch for relaxing. The Windover Inn exceeded my expectations. I cannot stress enough how clean this house is! The innkeepers, Glenn and Jennifer are welcoming and attentive. I wasn't able to stay for breakfast as my schedule had me leaving the house everyday before breakfast was served in the dining room. No problem for Glenn and Jennifer however. They packed me a delicious "to-go" breakfast. Yum! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

“Top Notch!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

This was by far the best place we have ever stayed at. The rooms were impeccable, absolutely gorgeous and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Glenn and Jennifer (I dubbed them Glennifer) were so kind and accommodating and there are not enough words to express the deliciousness of the breakfasts they prepared. Fresh fruit, home made scones that were to die for, waffles, quiche, fritatta's...you name it, they made it. I cannot wait to return! Thank you Glenn and Jennifer, you made our trip that much more special!
