My wife and I stayed at this out-of-the-way bed and breakfast back in 2007. We always compare other stays at other places to this experience. We've been lucky so far in our transition into the B & B culture, but not so much with this one. It was nice enough and has the potential to be perfectly quaint and enjoyable. Unfortunately, we still remember what we don't like about it. Most of our criticism centers around the effort put out by the innkeepers or whomever it was that was taking care of the place for them. There wasn't much effort at all. We dealt mostly with a pleasant enough but preoccupied staff gal (not preoccupied by guest needs) and experienced a couple of pretty lame attempts at breakfast. I want to say they had heated up frozen french toast sticks for breakfast. No, I'm sure of it. The staff gal made sure to reinforce the feeling of high-living by bringing out the food in her big, fuzzy bedroom slippers. This place could do really well if they just put a little more effort into making guests feel special--the hallmark of any great bed and breakfast! It has been a while so perhaps things have improved. Staff changes can make a world of difference.

My wife and I stayed at the inn during Valentine's weekend. The inn was offering a good deal for two nights that included Biltmore tickets, and it was not much more than staying in a "regular hotel." Our room was very nice....comfortable bed, well-decorated. The room had a small balcony, but we didn't use it because of the colder weather. The breakfast in the morning was good. Our only complaints were the plumbing on the 2nd floor was a little weak and our room was pretty cold at night. Bringing a space heater might not be a bad idea for winter months.

I love tripadvisor & stumbled on these negative reviews of Sleepyhollow. I wanted to add ours for some more positive feedback! We stayed at Sleepyhollow on two occasions prior to our wedding last July. We live about 4 hours away, but fell in love with the Inn from their website. We priced weddings in several different cities, including our own, and could not beat the value for the price at Sleepyhollow. To make sure it was a legitimate place, we went for a visit prior to booking our wedding in August 06. Had a nice stay; pleased with the grounds although surprised at how small. I guess it appeared larger to us on the website? Anyway, our stay was very nice, quiet, and the grounds are just beautiful. The people are friendly but not overbearing. We returned again in Jan 08 while in town to work out other wedding related details. Again, a nice experience. Our room was clean and well decorated. We returned for our wedding in July 08. With the wedding package we selected, our families all stayed at the Inn for the entire weekend (we had use of the entire Inn & all of the rooms + carriage house). EVERYONE raved at what a nice place it was, and how much they enjoyed it. The rooms were great, the Innkeepers accomodating. Regarding the rehearsal dinner & wedding, if there were any problems, I never knew about them. Danrae worked out all the details with the caterers, DJ's, and the like, and the coordination was seamless. My new husband & I extended our stay a couple of days after the wedding in the carriage house, and again, it was fantastic. I suppose there are a few quirks to a privately owned facility, but people run these types of places, not corporations, so some allowance has to be made for the human factor. Isn't that part of what makes a unique experience, versus a cookie cutter Hampton Inn stay that is the same everywhere? We loved it, had a great experience, appreciated all the effort & beautiful wedding pictures.

I visited Sleepy Hollow as a bridesmaid in a wedding. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. There are only a few people working there which made me really suprised that they were able to keep up with all of us and our confusion on my best friend's wedding day! The grounds are gorgeous and although they have remodeled the home from its original form, they were able to keep much of its history- (And will even show you their beofre & after pictures if you care to see) With all hardwood floors, a parlor, and comfy sitting area, I will definetly be re-visiting the Inn on my own!
