TESTIMONIALS

The inn was out of this world. My wife and I have stayed in several B&Bs. This one sets the standards for all others

If you want the 'best of everything'...stay at The Garden Inn

We have stayed at four different B&Bs in Mississippi and Tennessee, each unique in their own ways, but this was overall and by far the best

We wanted to tell you all how much we enjoyed our stay at The Garden Inn. It was so nice to arrive to fresh baked cookies and a cold drink. Our room was so fresh and clean. The view was wonderful. And, you guys were so nice to answer all of our questions and make helpful suggestions. We can't express enough how great it was to come back every night to a nicely straightened room and clean bathroom. The beds were always made neatly and the bathroom always had fresh towels. It was a great treat to have a yummy homemade desert and gourmet breakfast each morning. On our way home to Texas we all took turns talking about which one was our favorite dessert/breakfast and we loved them all. Thanks for making our stay a wonderful part of our family reunion.

We are still reminiscing about our wonderful stay at The Garden Inn. We have told so many people about our experience. There are few vacation spots where I can walk around the room barefoot. At The Garden Inn, I was able to walk around my room without shoes or socks because of the cleanliness of the room.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our first anniversary at The Garden Inn. Everything that you said on your web site was true. The thing that sold me on the Inn was the immaculate rooms. That is very important to us when we are traveling. Your Inn was truly immaculate and the food was the best. We will return. Thanks for your hospitality

My husband and I were thrilled to find such a beautiful Inn at Bee Rock, where he had proposed 34 years before. We have stayed at several bed and breakfasts in the Southern region, and were very impressed with the welcoming staff, wonderful breakfast and the majestic setting of the Inn itself. There was a restful ambience upon entering and comforting pleasantries during our entire stay, including the cleanest facilities we've ever encountered. Truly a relaxing, wonderful stay and a place that we will recommend to all. Thanks to Mike and staff for a truly enjoyable anniversary.
