This B&B is clean, comfortable and beautiful. The decor and antiques take you to another time, but don't feel stuffy or dusty. The location near Floyd is beautiful if you want to be in the mountains and truly get away.

We recently enjoyed our first stay here and recommend it without any hesitation. The innkeepers are very helpful answering questions about the area. But the food! Food to die for. Breakfast is four courses: cereal (organic granola), fruit (apple crepes for example), main course (omelet with chicken, spinach, cheese for example) , and dessert (yes, DESSERT - for example peppermint ice cream). In the evening there's sherry and dessert (pecan pie for example). I have never had food this good and so creatively presented as this. So go - eat - enjoy!

Our stay at the Mountain Rose Inn was a celebration of our wedding anniversary and my birthday. So we wanted a B & B that was a bit special, and that it was. Mike and Dora Jane made us feel welcome, and were so attentive to our needs, it made for a very enjoyable stay. They are exceptional hosts, and they make this old house come to life. And yet the grounds and the house had a quiet serenity about them. Others may have detailed the breakfasts served, I'll just say that we found them to be scrumptious! You would too.

We visited "Mountain Rose Inn" for our July 4th celebration. The hundred year old home was immaculate. We spent rainy days reading on one of the inns 6 covered porches. Then swam in the pool, went antique shopping, canoeing, visited art galleries & wineries and rode down the parkway. Every morning was begun with a 4 course breakfast, an offer to pack lunch and dozens of hummingbirds. The fourth was celebrated with a shrimp & grits dinner with other guests followed by desert & fireworks! We have already booked for the fall !

My wife and I have stayed at the Inn twice and loved it! The rooms are comfortable and have the convenience of a private bath. The parlor is cozy and stocked with snacks. Breakfast has been fabulous, and Dora Jane went out of her way to accomodate my wife's dietary restrictions (no wheat) and still made amazing food! I cannot recommend the inn highly enough. The inn is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the antique shops and galleries in Floyd so it's perfect for the weekend getaway or as a stopover while driving the parkway.

Really, my husband and I could go on and on about our stay at the Mountain Rose... but we'll keep this practical, yet enticing. First, the innkeepers, Dora Jane and Mike, are tremendous managers and hosts!! They went above and beyond to make us feel right at home but completely special. We found ourselves drawn to them personally during our afternoon/evening down-time-- very easy to be with! They are open-books, professional business people, quick to respond to any needs, and eager to please. We actually miss them right now! My husband and I stayed at the Inn on a whim for our honeymoon, having never heard of it two days prior. We found them online and felt good about the website... and that was all we had going for us. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with how modern it is (yet still quaint and cozy), how CLEAN they keep every room, well-maintained grounds, flexible scheduling, fireplace in every room, privacy, porches, very nice bathrooms, etc. Oh, and the multi-course breakfasts are outstanding!! It's truly the whole "too-good-to-be-true" bit. My husband is a man's man, and even he's telling everyone about this B&B now. We were looking for a mild-winter honeymoon destination with privacy and the opportunity to just be together. The small, hip, artsy town of Floyd is nearby for a good dinner, gallery-visits, country stores, antiques, coffee, music... And Mike recommended various spots for hiking (again, stunning!!)... but, really, we found ourselves saying to each other: "Let's just go back to the inn, sit by the fireplace, eat snacks, and play Scrabble." So we did. We didn't want to leave, even for a few hours. You just feel good there. We are officially fans of honeymoons now, but we're junkies for The Mountain Rose Inn.

My husband and I were married at the Inn April 2006 and went back this April to celebrate our anniversary. And while we were there we discussed making it a yearly trip, we love the Inn. It is a beautiful place. The rooms are very romantic and relaxing. Breakfast at the Inn is one of the best meals you will ever eat. But the Innkeepers with their genuine warmth are what give the place a feeling of "home". Anyone looking for an enjoyable, relaxing and romantic trip near the Blue Ridge Parkway should definitely give the Mountain Rose Inn a try. You won't be sorry.
