The place had just changed hands when we got there. The previous owners left no information concerning reservations for any guests that were on their way. We were not allowed into the main house area the first night, and we were not given any explanation about why. However, the people who were staying in that building were allowed in the main room. We stayed in the log cabin which was charming and quaint. The breakfast was okay, nothing special, though. The rates are high for what you get at this place, and it is out of the way and hard to find. The trails through the woods were hard to maneuver, but we did see some turkeys. I had a good time because my husband and I enjoy going places together, but we were a bit less than impressed with the grounds and the service. The storage, drawers, etc in the cabin were filled with cleaning products, and used soaps and used candles, dirty cleaning cloths. There was no storage at all for our clothing, etc. I hope the new owners concentrate more on the grounds, and are more organized in the near future, although I think we will stay somewhere else next trip to the Amber Falls Winery. I do not regret staying at Ridge Top. We have traveled enough to expect more, though.

I was very surprised to read this review. Even though we did only have the B&B for two days, the guests were all very happy and understanding of the transistion. I appolagized for the miscommunication about the main house and everyone was able to utilize it after the first night. I remember the guests commenting on how much they loved the plants and the grounds. I asked each guest if we could improve on anything from the old owners and everyone said things were great. The three things some of the guests would have liked were, Direct TV, wireless internet and a land line. All of the guests raved about the breakfasts that were served. Even though we have not received your payment for the time you did spend with us, we would love to have you back again and show how we have updated things.
Ridgetop is located on top of a ridge in Hampshire TN, we are surrounded by 170 acres of woods. Even though we are in the country we do have two small towns located 15 miles away for dining and entertainment. We have two beautiful wineries located close to us, one is not even a mile away and the other is about 4 miles down the road. We are three miles away from the beautiful Natchez Trace parkway with historic markers all along the way. There is horse back riding, canoeing, camping, and the elephant sanctuary all withing minutes from us.
