When traveling to Savannah last month, we decided to break up the drive and were very pleased that we found The Oaks. It’s just off of I-81 and the perfect midway point from our home in Westchester.. When we arrived Linda and Bernie invited us into their home and sat and talked with us for a few minutes. That was the first time we had experienced that type of welcome to a B+B and made us feel like they really care about their guests. They asked us if we needed help with dinner then told us that breakfast was at 9 and asked if that time worked for us and did we have had any special dietary needs. We had a long drive ahead of us the next day and asked if there was any way we could have an early breakfast. Linda told us that that was no problem. There was no “Breakfast is only at 9 sharp and don’t be late”. The next morning, at 7:00, we were treated to a wonderful breakfast and some coffee to go. Just an F.Y.I., Linda makes a homemade granola that is absolutely delicious. We have often toyed with the idea of someday running a B+B but are leery of inviting complete strangers into out home so our favorite question to our hosts is “Do you ever get guests that are impossible to please or just plain weird?“ I imagine it’s kind of scary knowing that anything can be posted in a review for the whole internet world to see. Some of the answers we have gotten have been doozies. Linda shared a couple of stories that were funny, a bit offbeat, but in no way malicious or unkind. And P.S. I do agree …the cookies are great.

We were greeted upon arrival and asked about our preferences. Good,, Our host answered our questions but were not overly expressive. Most of the interview session was about themselves rather than answering our questions. Breakfast was at 9 am sharp,do not be late.
You will sit where they tell you to at the table. The list of rules (which are understandable) are
printed for you in the host book. The breakfast interaction with Linda was negative. All that was really addressed were the negative feedbacks from other guest and this was not uplifting. Future guest should know that you may become the focal point of future conversation about how awful you really were as guest in the "Oaks". They (Linda and Bernie) were accused of being control freaks. I wonder why??
The breakfast food was great, the inn was neat as a pen,clean top to bottom and aside from a few declining moments we were very comfortable. One Big improvement needed. The sheets and pillow cases should be laundered with a non-scented (enviormental friendly) soap.One that does not bleed with a heavy scent, as sleeping all night is a good thing for those of us with a allergy or supersensitive nose.

Cookies were great..

We came into town for a family wedding and Linda and Bernie welcomed us with open arms late in the afternoon. They suggested restaurants in the area and provided late night snack trays. The Julia Pierce room was warm, inviting and very comfortable. We slept well and awoke early enough for coffee on the porch, then dined in "high cotton" style in the dining room with other guests. At the end of the day and whirlwind wedding functions, we relaxed in the whirlpool tub before turning in for the night. We could not have asked for better hosts. Beautifully appointed rooms, wonderful garden area, and the food was fabulous! Ray and Jeanne

This place is very special. We will definitely be going back. Customer service and quality at every turn. The food is delicious and the care with which it is prepared and served is second to none. A great place to escape to.
