“A Pleasant Surprise”

Reviewed 26 October 2011

We had just had a bad B&B experience and were not too hopeful about our next stay. The innkeepers were very friendly, but not overly apparent, so we were left to enjoy their place on our own, which was just what we wanted. Our bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was very generous and good. We had some diet... More

“A grand porch, charming rooms, what else could you want?”

The porch and the rooms are only part of the pleasure. What stands out is the hospitality of the owners. Following greetings and being shown our rooms home made double chocolate cookies were available and were eaten in the garden with its charming, pond. Inside, too, is a guest living room equipped with entertainments. The rooms are Victoriana at its... More

We stayed here a few days ago as part of our honeymoon throughout the eastern States of the USA. We were blown away by the wonderful hospitality from the whole family including Juni the dog who did a great job at keeping the squirrels away! The room was beautifully decorated and it looks like that Shellie and Tony had thought... More

“Outstanding, Ausgezeichnet, Magnifique, Pendientes, In Sospeso”

Reviewed 7 March 2011

We had the distinct pleasure of staying at this 5-star B&B for one evening. Shellie and Tony are extraordinary hosts, caring, down-to-earth and very Genuine. Their B&B is immaculate, their suite exquisite, and the breakfast was a feast for a King. They are the total package and leave nothing to be desired, other than a longer stay. They have hospitality... More

Happy guests make for happy innkeepers! We were so pleased to meet you and share a piece of your long journey northward home. The next visit requires a little mountain music tossed into the equation and seeing the local sites. God bless from our family to yours...Shellie More

“Lap of Luxury”

I enjoyed my stay at the Clairborne B&B. I was rather spoiled staying in the Sierra Suite. The owner was a delight and her morning meals were scrumptious. Will be staying there again.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again. The exterior of the house was really gorgoue. We loved the big front porch and the backyard was lovely. We booked the Sierra Suite and it was awesome. The room was quite large and had it's own private entrance as well as the interior access. We felt very "at home"... More
