If you’re looking to experience authentic mountain living and start your day with a delicious homestyle country breakfast, this is the spot for you. We had plenty of room to stretch out and relax while being in close proximity to stunning vistas and hiking trails: Grandfather Mountain, Linwood Falls, Blowing Rock, etc.

I haven’t felt so at home, so welcomed, and so treated to amazing food in a *very* long time. Al and Jill are two absolutely wonderful and interesting human beings, and they truly are dedicated hosts. We were so lucky that Al cooked dinner for us one night; it was extraordinarily delicious, and I greatly enjoyed our conversation over dinner. The apartment was absolutely lovely, the views breathtaking, deer was hanging out in front of our windows, and we slept like babies! Hopefully we can come back soon!

My husband and I had such a wonderful time staying here. The breakfast each morning was incredible! We also really enjoying talking with Al and Linda! They were both very accommodating! We highly recommend them!

The suite was bigger than the pictures seemed to depict. While there is no air conditioning, there was no need for it, even in the middle of the Southern summer. As everyone else has mentioned, the breakfast is the highlight of one’s visit. Al and Jill were great hosts with plenty of recommendations to help. I can only imagine how spectacular the view must be in the fall when the leaves are changing, as it was beautiful in the summer.

We had an amazing stay! We enjoyed our breakfast a lot with the kind and welcoming hosts and other guests in the house to start our day. The location was perfect for us, in the middle of where we wanted to be. The garden also had a beautiful view of the mountains. Overall a great stay and would go again!

First and foremost, best breakfasts, hands down! Second time staying with Al and Jill. Couldn’t ask for a sweeter couple to host. Kind and personable, friendly and down to earth breakfast conversations. Peaceful, quiet place, spectacular view. Bring your own firewood for the fire pit and sit under a blanket of stars, too many to count!
