Jackie Kent is an innkeeper whose dream of owning a bed and breakfast in a very old house has come true and pampering and caring for her guests is her priority. Her personal attention to every detail and helping every guest feel special is her way of making your stay more comfortable, more enjoyable and more memorable. The restoration of this grand 1884 home kept Jackie hunting from Alabama to North Carolina for antiques and furnishings. In every way possible the house was returned to its original state. Every bit of original wood in the house was salvaged and re-utilized. Two areas in particular have a wall that is the original exterior wall with untouched authentic paint! The original claw foot tubs were refinished and replaced in the new bathrooms. As the work progressed, two autograph books were found hiding in a crevice of the house. Dated 1879-1880, they belonging to Hattie and Charles Vedder who were later found to be the first owners of the house. What our guests are saying... Fabulous!
