Tried to book very late in order to attend a concert at the Coliseum
on New Year's Eve. Jean responded immediately that they were full.
Early the next day she contacted me to inform me a room had come open.
Her wonderful house is in a good neighborhood very conveniently
located to great restaurants and the Coliseum. The B&B is an
absolutely outstanding value. It is not the Four Seasons....it's a B&B
with an owner/host that truly likes people and will do anything to
ensure your stay is wonderful. Jean is a rare operator who actually
wants you to be there. The room, and the entire house, is homey and
comfortable. It's a great old house with creaky floors and classic
mouldings and details. The bed was cozy. Breakfast was good and Jean
takes a lot of pride (rightly so) in her coffee. We experienced a
wonderful breakfast with a room full of guests having friendly
conversations. We had a great experience and hope to make The Retreat
our go-to place when we attend future Greensboro events. We have
stayed in many, many B&Bs around the world and in our humble opinion
if you have a problem with Jean or her home, you're probably not going to satisfied anywhere. On a side note, the intersection of Elam and Walker Avenue is happening - great locals' restaurants and pub. We had an outstanding experience at Fishbones. Walk there.

This B&B has been a wonderful refuge for me on overnights as a commuting grad student. I sleep better there than at home, and have enjoyed tremendous warmth and positive energy from the beautiful house and the attentive host. It's close to campus and lots of community events. Highly recommend it.

The good: the location is excellent - walkable to good restaurants and the Greensboro Coliseum. Reservations were easy and Ms. Dailey was prompt to return emails and provide information. She also went out of her way to provide a fax machine.
The average: the bedroom was nothing special and could have benefited greatly from a warm rug on the cold wooden floor and an extra quilt on the bed. Breakfast was a disappointment and consisted of bagels and packaged cereal - no protein or hot meal. The bathroom was tiny and shared between two rooms.
Overall, a perfectly fine place to stay a night or two but certainly nothing out of the ordinary.

I stayed at this B&B and enjoyed my time here tremendously. Nice rooms and great location in Greensboro.
I was in town on business and chose to stay here after my stay in a hotel for a few extra days in the area. This is a beautiful, quiet house. I was able to rest much more comfortably than at the hotel. Sometimes those can be so noisy, but this B&B was very quiet.
It is close to everything.
Very quiet!
