My husband and I stopped at the McKibbon House in August on our way down to Destin, FL for our vacation. We made plans to stop there because there are a few wineries nearby that we wanted to check out. Though the wine at the wineries wasn't all that impressive, we did have a great time taking in the scenery of the Alabama countryside!

We checked into our room, the Smitherman room, and it was lovely. You cannot really tell from the pictures on their website, but it is an adorable room. From the one picture on their website I thought it could have been a little overdone with the floral decor, but honestly, it was wonderful. Very comfy and spacious. Another reviewer remarked that it wasn't clean, but I'm not really sure what he is referring to. It felt pretty clean to me. The only thing I recall was that the shower in the bathroom had one of those bathmats in it, which tend to gross me out, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Leigh was there when we arrived and was incredibly accommodating. Very sweet and helpful. There was a couple staying there who were renewing their vows in the backyard, and they invited us to join them for it. We kindly declined, but we thought that was very friendly.

We then ventured out to the wineries, had a nice time, then headed back to Montevallo. We stopped in at a bar & grill in the "downtown" area. It was fine for what we were looking for - just a late night snack after a little bit of wine!

We slept well and we awoke to coffee outside the room, then we headed downstairs for breakfast. We sat in the dining room with the couple who renewed their vows. (They were the only other guests at the McKibbon House.) The breakfast was very good - definitely hit the spot and got us ready for the rest of our drive to Florida!

We did see the dog, but he wasn't around for breakfast. He was just there to greet us when we came in. Not a nuisance at all, and I am not even a dog person!

Overall, it was a very nice place to stay, especially if you are looking for a nice, leisurely place to stay during a road trip. Though it was very nice, we probably wouldn't go back there again, just because there is not much to do (that we knew of) in the town and it isn't right on the highway. Just something we thought we would check out because we had never stopped in that area before. But if you do find yourself in Montevallo or nearby, we would totally recommend the McKibbon House! Thanks!

Wonderful place to spend some quiet, quality time. The home is beautiful, clean and full of character. Lyle is glorious and goes out of her way to make certain that her guests are comfortable and have everything that they need. This was mine and my husbands first bed and breakfast stay and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We are looking forward to when we're able to go again!!!

Breakfast service was beautiful and very good.

We arrived just about 430 and were met by Lynn in the yard. She explained that we were the only guests that night and there would be people in and out setting up for a wedding reception. She gave us a quick tour of the house and told us some of the history....We were in the Lawley room and the room was large with a clawfoot tub/shower combo. King sized bed was very comfortable with excellent quality bedding. She recommeded
a restaurant named the Fox Valley about 11 miles from the B&B. Food was excellent,
chef was Cajun with the owners from New York. Didn't expect to find that quality cusine
in the middle of nowhere!! Menu changes nightly depending on what's fresh...got back to the B&B about 8pm. We were met in the yard by Trooper the Lab. He's very well behaved and was not trouble at all.....even in the house he behaved and didn't bother you unless you called him...... The smell of coffee woke me that morning and it smelled wonderful. I wasn't dissapointed with the taste..Drank it waiting for breakfast on the swing out front.. Breakfast was wonderfully simple, cheese omelet, ham, fresh fruit, biscuits with coffee, juice or iced water.....In my opinion, it's more than worth the cost of a stay.... even with just one night, I still felt like I was staying with a cousin or family member. I would highly recommend a stay here for simple pleasures.

We spent three wonderful nights at the McKibbon House B&B. What a warm, welcoming, and lovely experience!

Staying in this large old Victorian is like stepping back in time to another era but with all the modern comforts of today. Each room is unique with an alcove, balcony, or bay window that reflects the house's period architecture. Our bed was very comfortable and the room decorated with lovely old antiques.

We were given such a warm welcome by our host that be the second day of our stay we felt like family members. We found the town of Montevallo charming and fun to explore. This was our first visit to the area and we look forward to returning and staying at the McKibbon House again.

After each wonderful night's sleep in a quiet neighborhood we enjoyed a terrific breakfast. Each morning was different with more than enough to eat. I especially appreciated that the breakfasts were delicious and healthy without too much sugar.

I can recommend the McKibbon House with reservations.

Thanks for a wonderful experience!
