My husband and I stayed at Tara Point Inn and Cottages for our anniversary. The property is well-maintained and beautifully situated on a bluff above the river. We stayed in a cottage with its own porch. The view of the river and land beyond was very lovely and peaceful. The cottage was enormous. The main room is a living room... More

There were so many great things about this place, I am not sure where to start. I do admit to being a little hesitant at first as the price was more than I really wanted to pay, but in the end it was worth it. OK, the usual things VERY nice cottage, huge comfy bed,(the bedroom itself was larger than... More

This property is fantastic! The rustic cottages are a perfect place to sit back and relax. We visit every year for Valentine's day and have never had a bad experience. Grafton is the perfect place to Eagle watch in the winter and the deer were grazing right outside our door. The view is wonderful and the staff is very friendly.

I don't know where to start. This was our first time to a B & B and where my husband proposed. I can't think of a more beautiful place for that to have happened. It was March at sunset on the deck of the main house at Tara Point. We had the entire house to ourselves that evening and it... More

We went here for our anniversary. The cabins are beautiful and the view is awesome! It was incredibly hot and humid out, but we still sat out on the porch watching the birds, deer, raccoons, barges and river. It was incredible! I did not want to leave. I would definitely go back! They cabin even had binoculars!

AHHHHH! What can I say about Tara Point Inn? My husband and I discovered it several years ago sitting on a point overlooking the confluence of the rivers. What a view they have! What surprises us is that very few people know it exists! Three rooms a the inn ( two with fabulous views) and 8 cottages that are roomy,... More

We stayed in the Dogwood Cottage on a Thursday night. The weather was great. We got fish from Beasley's Fish Market and ate dinner on the covered porch. We watched a fox catch and eat 4 mice. We saw several barges on the river. The sunset was nice. We hated to leave the porch! The cottage is nicely decorated with... More

We just spent one night in the Redbud Cottage and the view was fantastic, not only from the deck, but the sitting room and the bedroom. The cottages are beautifully decorated. We had a fire going and chose a video to watch from their nice selection. The tub is a two person with jets. The rooms are very large. Not... More

We stayed here in late May for our anniversary on a weekend. The Delta Queen suite in the main house was very nice. Interesting decor in the game room and there are many books and DVD’s to keep you entertained in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. The view from the deck was outstanding. Breakfast was very good. The hostess Marg... More
