In search of a wonderful and beautiful place to share a special moment in your life, please check out The Ainsworth Inn. Miss Anne your the best!
I have been in search of a serene place to propose to my wonderful girlfriend for some time. I searched hotel websites one after the other with no luck finding that special place that was warm and friendly and willing to cater to my wishes to make this special moment wonderful for my new Fiancé. With help from some dear friends of mine we were able to set up an unforgettable weekend. We contacted Miss Anne the owner of The Ainsworth Inn and spoke to her about our plans and what she would be able to accommodate us with to make this the perfect weekend. We arrived early on a Saturday morning and checked in meeting Miss Anne and the staff. They were so warm and friendly and gave us a tour around the house and opened their every door to us. Shortly after checking in and being shown to our rooms, I could not believe the accommodations. My girlfriend and I had the wonderful opportunity to stay in the Master Suite which had to be the most amazing place I have ever seen. The master bedroom included a see through fireplace with a master bed in the bedroom, along with beautiful decor and mood lighting. The seating area which shared the fire place to the bedroom had a wonderful couch and chair with a cafe' style table and chairs with a balcony. The kitchenette is found just through the hallway with an attached master bathroom with a shower big enough for four people with double shower heads along with shower heads for your back. The private toilet with a bedea. The Jacuzzi tub is WOW! This thing must be 7 feet around set with Italian decor. The double vanity must be 10 feet long.
As far as the rest of the house each room portrays the rich beauty of the original hardwood floors and trim, the fireplace mantels show off the craftsmanship of the early 1900's. The game room has a wonderful and quiet setting to enjoy a game of pool, air hockey, or just playing cards. The kitchen is warm and cozy with a wonderful spiral staircase that leads to the wine cellar. There also is a built in pool to enjoy during the summer season, also there is a spacious gazebo on the property to just sit and read if you wish. The porch is huge with swings and rocking chairs for the peaceful feeling of being back at home.
Miss Anne was wonderful in accommodating my request to set up a romantic decor for the master suite for our return home from dinner. She laid rose petals from the master door to the master bedroom and also from the door down the hallway to the Jacuzzi tub. The room was filled with glowing candle light and a wonderful chilled bottle of wine with glasses next to the Jacuzzi tub. Miss Anne also placed roses on the coffee table in the seating room for us.
That evening I had planned several different possibilities for proposing to my girlfriend from the boat ride at the Opryland Hotel or even the carriage ride down the lane with all the Christmas lights. There was also many beautiful possibilities of proposing inside the atrium of the Opryland Hotel, but I could not pull myself from proposing to her on the warm and welcoming front porch of The Ainsworth Inn. When we pulled up after dinner seeing the houses lights glowing and the welcoming front entrance I had no choice but to make this our special place. I proposed on the front steps and lead her up to the master suite to where the wonderful surprise continued. I was completely amazed and so was she when we opened the door to the master suite. The details of that evening will forever be a rich evening in our memory for a lifetime to come.
The next morning Miss Anne and her staff shared a outstanding home cooked breakfast with us along with sharing stories and little precious moments of what other couples have shared in her home.
I want to thank Miss Anne and her staff at the Ainsworth Inn for making our special night a memory that will never be forgotten. As for us, we plan to spend that special weekend every year at the Ainsworth Inn for many years to come.
Also many thanks to our friends and family who helped me put a wonderful weekend together for my Fiancé and I.

“Ainsworth: Aint Worth It”

Ainsworth Inn

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Portland, Oregon
May 6, 2008

We read the great reviews and were hoping for a similar experience, but when we arrived, we found the opposite. Ann was not in, and instead we were shown to our room by the maintenance man, who had no clue which one we were meant to stay in. The walls were scuffed and worse for the wear, and there were no toiletries in the bathroom. The whole place looked like it had been renovated some years before, but then sort of shoddily kept up.

Breakfasts consisted of stale french toast and tough pancakes and stale fruits, and when the owner came in to have a very forced chat with us, her old dogs sat on chairs near where we were trying to eat. The whole experience was really weird--she didn't seem to know where any of the places we asked her about were, and we almost felt like we were putting her out when we asked for anything.

Finally when we left, we had to pay in cash, and she gave us an inflated price of what she had originally quoted us.

One other thing to note is that the inn is not near the downtown area--it is at least a ten minute drive, so bear that in mind if you'd like to go out for dinner and have a glass of wine or two. Freeway driving is required.

“Poor Customer Service Calls.”

0/1 found this review helpful

I personally have not stayed at Ainsworth Inn. I'm a customer trying to get information about having my wedding reception there. Out of the 11 calls in the past 3 weeks, I have only spoken to her 3 times! Out of the 3 times that I have spoken with Ann, she said that she would call me back within 10 to 15 minutes. NO CALLS WERE RETURNED! Feb 1st thru Feb 4th, 2008, I have left polite messages informing her that I would like information on an available date for a wedding reception. It would only take her 2 minutes to give me a call with a yes or no. I have still not heard from her yet! I'm still waiting for her call; and I will definitely let her know how disappointed I was with her customer service and lack of keeping her promise to call me back the few times I've spoken with her. That's just rude!

    • Disliked — Customer Service is HORRENDOUS! I've called on numerous occasions, and not 1 call was returned! I've spoken to her 3 times and Ann said she would call me back in 10 to 15 minutes. No calls were returned. I'm still waiting! If she is big into doing special occasions she surely know how NOT to show it!

“The B&B of Your Dreams!”

Ainsworth Inn

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Los Angeles
Dec 21, 2007

My husband and I were called to Nashville unexpectedly on business. When I visit the South I like to get the "total" Southern experience, rather than stay in a trendy "any city in America" hotel. Ann answered my call immediately and was more than willing to let us stay just one night. She gave us the honeymoon suite which made the experience all the more wonderful. The bed was large and comfy, the suite of rooms beautifully appointed, and the view of the trees through the windows, breathtaking! The Ainsworth Inn is a gorgeous, restored home just a few minutes from the city center. It was quite stormy during our stay and the interior made us feel very warm and cozy...unfortunately the storm left us unable to totally survey the wonderful property surrounding the facility. Ann is amazing! Not only did she have great stories to share at breakfast, but we feel like we have a new member of our family. She shares the home with her two darling dogs who walk around with their blue and pink bunnies! This facility is a must for anyone looking for a wonderful B&B, but also as a spot for group gatherings or business retreats.
