I stayed here recently after a long day on the road on my way back to Toronto. The Inn is a beautifully restored home with lots of modern upscale amenities. I stayed in the Tiger Eye room which is nicely decorated with a big comfortable bed with high end sheets. I slept like a rock. Even the closet was beautifully... More

We stayed at the Black Lantern Inn on our way to a wedding in Mississippi and discovered a wonderful, modern, charming inn. The hosts, Ron and Claire, were fanastic. They greeted us when we arrived, helped us store our bikes and carried our luggage to the top floor. The skyline room was fantastic - a top floor, tastefully decorated room... More

My fiancé and I stayed at the Black Lantern Inn for one night when we were in town for a concert, but I wish we could have stayed longer! The entire Inn was absolutely gorgeous, our room (the Venetian) was spectacular, and breakfast the next morning was absolutely to die for. I can't say enough great things! Ron and Claire... More

I stayed at the Black Lantern Inn this weekend. It was my first visit and it definitely won't be my last. Ron and Claire are the greatest hosts. The house is wonderful and the meals are so amazing you will be glad you didn't sleep through breakfast. The Skyline Room is a must for a quiet weekend retreat. Visit this... More

We were very pleased with the entire experience. Ron & Claire made us feel very welcome. Ron has done many remodel projects at the house and you will likely take some ideas back to your home. The kitchen is really cool. The immaculate house is the result of Ronnie's skill as a detailed contractor. We stayed in the Tiger Room... More

So many things can be said about the Black Lantern Inn. From the local to the service was excellent. Everything about it a first class. We drove from Southern Maryland to Roanoke for a nice quiet getaway and got much more than that. Ron & Claire made us feel welcome. The accomodations were spotless, the Breakfast was YUMMYLISIOUS. The location... More

The Black Lantern Inn will surpass all of your expectations of quality, friendliness and cleanliness. Ron and Claire are incredible hosts. Not only did Ron pick me up from the airport, he even dropped me off downtown for a conference and he called to check on me when I took the bike out for a rainy day. Chicagoans, you will... More

One of the most comfortable rooms I have ever stayed in. It was beautifully decorated, the bed was very comfortable and it was spotless! The owners were nice and offered great suggestions for dinner. Breakfast was great. Would definitely return.

We have stayed in many B&Bs, but few of them measure up to The Black Lantern. What a find and what a great value! Ron and Claire have done a superb job of renovating an old house into a beautiful inn. Ron's workmanship is truly outstanding as my husband who is in the construction industry noted during our stay. There... More
