Tessa and Bernard are running one of the cleanest and friendliest establishments in our lovely NC mountains. After a day of travel and meetings, I received a warm welcome by both of them and assistance with my luggage. My room was crisp and clean and the bed had a very comfortable mattress and pillows (lots of them!) which allowed for a great night's sleep. They had recommendations for local restaurants for dinner and served a most scruptious breakfast. I was allowed a late check-out due to weather conditions and had a quiet place to do my computer work while waiting for the roads to clear. Yes, it did snow and Bernard cleaned off my car for me! Because I was there in early January, many of the Christmas decorations were still up so the inn smelled so good with the greenery which still had a fresh scent. I would also like to comment on the rates - it was nice to find a B&B which was affordable for the business traveler's budget. Although I booked a lower priced room, I was upgraded because a king bed was available for the evening. The inn is located on a narrrow country road so you have the quiet of the countryside, but really easy to find and just a short distance from Mast General Store.
