I've been meaning to write this review for a year - my husband and I went to Lovill House for our honeymoon in October 2008, and it was just perfect. Scott and Anne can give recommendations and exact directions for whatever your heart desires - including, for us, the perfect 5-mile scenic hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway and "the best way to see the 'face' of Grandfather Mountain." We highly recommend their "stress reduction package" with massage. The rooms (we stayed in Lenoir) are old-fashioned, lovely and romantic but with every comfort; the gardens are gorgeous, breakfast was delicious and friendly, the whole feel is elegant without being stuffy. We really liked that Anne and Scott have their own separate "quarters" so it feels less like walking in on someone's home than a typical B & B does. Just perfect. You'll love it. - Rachel and Kevin

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway South I had a absolutely pleasant stay. The room was cosy, the open fireplace helped a lot with autumn in the mountains. Breakfast was varying every day and a great experience.

We stayed at the Lovill House Inn for two nights in August 2009. Perfect location in Boone, NC. The room we occupied was called "The Spring House" which is a small cottage behind the house. It was lovely! Very CLEAN and cozy. The grounds are covered with flowers and the front porch of the house was delightful to sit on every morning while drinking coffee waiting for the fabulous breakfast that the Innkeepers prepare each morning. They do a wonderful job making you feel welcome and special. Can't wait to return! Thank you Scott and Anne!

Lovill House is owned and operated by a couple who is meticulous in all aspects of running a B&B from the details of appearance, to creating the "down home" feeling one would expect from a Southern B&B experience. It is tastefully decorated keeping the elegant historic look and feel combined with upgraded and modern accommodations. Location in a serene setting set back from the main highway creates a perfect venue to enjoy a quiet evening on the expansive wrap around deck with a glass of provided wine; or a cup of coffee provided in hot mugs in the early morning. Breakfast featured unique culinary tastes that presented traditional breakfast foods in new and different dishes! Would highly recommend and we hope to visit again in the near future.

Lovill House was delightful. The location was close to a major road and suffered from traffic noise, but the room was good and grounds were spectacular. The innkeepers were very efficient and attentive. Midway through our stay, my wife had a short hospital stay, and the innkeepers were very concerned and helped us in every way. I would recommend the Lovill House to anyone who wants to stay in Boone.

our hosts, Scott and Ann, saw to every need. Very helpful in planning our days. We felt like we were leaving 'family' when we started home. Their home was our home that week!

We discovered Lovill House Inn when we came to Boone with our daughter to look at Appalachian State in March 2009. She fell in love with the college and Boone and our family truly enjoyed the hospitality provided by Scott and Anne. The Inn is lovely, relaxing, and welcoming. The rooms are charming and the breakfasts are wonderful. It is very convenient to the campus. Our daughter has decided to attend Appalachian and we returned to Lovill House to stay in June 2009 during new student and parent orientation. My husband and I have already made our reservations at Lovill House Inn for parent's weekend in September. We highly recommend it to other Appalachian parents.

Even the excellent website didn't do it justice!! The impeccable grounds were only matched by the top notch accomodations and our wonderful innkeepers Scott and Anne Peacock!! The food was skilllfully prepared, the social hours provided memories for a lifetime. Even nature was conspiring for us--Margie and I were visited by a young fawn as we sat in the gazebo. What a way to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary!!--Tom and Margie Reilly

Anne and Scott made our gathering of family and friends for Merlefest a perfect reunion. Every detail, including several dietary restrictions and the need for a massage was accomodated with grace and ease. We look forward to another visit to Lovill House Inn and appreciate the warmth and welcome extended by our hosts. The location is beautiful and the accomodations well appointed. Thanks again for providing a wonderful setting for our gathering! Susan and Dave North Wales, PA

Spent two nights here recently. A beautiful property. Room, "The Bristol," was roomy, comfortable and well-appointed. Innkeepers demonstrated concern for guests' comfort and were quick to respond to requests. Innkeepers fully knowledgeable about Boone area and helpful with suggestions for day trips. Breakfasts were generous and included meats, eggs, breads and fruits. Coffee available 30 minutes before breakfast served at 8:30. Recommend this property highly.

My wife and I spent 4 days and 3 nights enjoying the hospitality and family atmosphere at Lovill House. Scott and Ann bent over backwards to make sure we were happy and to make us feel at home. From a cozy fire to heart shapped pancakes, life was well above normal for a few precious days. We will definitly stay there again.

We spent 3 days and 2 nights at the Lovill House Inn. Not only was the inn was of the most well kept inns we've ever stayed at, but the innkeepers really exceed all expectations. The breakfast was out of this world and always plenty served. We loved the old buildings on the grounds and especially the waterfall. We will be back!

This bed and breakfast was perfect for my long business days. Scott and Anne were able to accomodate my breakfast time so I could be at work by 8:30 a.m. I was able to use the Inn to do my email in my room and also in the living room and dining room in the evenings. I felt at home when doing my work in the evenings. A change of pace from the ususal hotels. I would recommend any business travler to stay at this inn for a good night sleep and a place to work from in the evenings.

We stayed at the Lovill House Inn for a family weekend birthday celebration and had a fantastic time! The inn with its beautifully landscaped flowers and gardens, the alluring wrap-around porch with its country rockers and the warm and inviting interior helped set the tone for a casual, relaxing atmosphere. Scott and Anne were wonderful hosts who were attentive to all our needs and provided little 'extras' like turn down bed service and fresh flowers in the room. The breakfasts were well presented, varied, tasty, and delicious. They treated us like 'family' and we definitely will return again when we want to celebrate a special occasion or just want to get away to relax, recharge, and renew ourselves. Loved the Lovill and loved Scott and Anne!

The first time we visited Anne and Scott at the Lovill House Inn, we thought we had found heaven – the warmth, friendliness, hospitality, and comfortable surroundings! But of course, first impressions can fool you. The second time we visited them, our first impressions were confirmed. What an outstanding location – what an outstanding host and hostess! Anne and Scott will make you forget what you’re escaping from. If you want solitude – they will let you have it. If you want to know “what’s happening,” they have all the answers. I’m sure everyone says they treat you like family. No, they treat you better than family – all the warmth and love without the dysfunctionality! Anne and Scott know how to make you feel welcome. When you stay at Lovill House, you’re not staying at a B&B – you’re visiting Anne and Scott, and they will go out of their way to make you feel like part of the family.

We regularly stay in B&B's in our travels throughout our travels in the US and Europe, and spots like the Lovill House Inn are what we always hope to find. The innkeepers are friendly and attentive to your needs. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. There is great attention to detail, from adequate lighting throughout the inn to free beverages, including wines. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. Your rooms are aired out while you are away enjoying all that the mountains in the Boone/Blowing Rock area has to offer. You will also appreciate Anne's delicious breakfasts. We visit at least once a year and are always welcomed like long time friends. We are certain your stay will be will be a wonderful experience if it's in the innkeepers' power. Gene and Sandy

Our stay at the Lovill House Inn was remarkable. Scott and Anne took us in even though we showed up on their doors step late in the evening without a reservation. And, thanks to Anne noticing our arrival we descovered this "gem" of a Bed and Breakfast in Boone, NC. We can't wait to go back...this was our best experience staying at a B&B due to the warm and genuine hospitality provided by Scott and Anne.

This was our second stay with Scott and Ann and will not be our last. We began many wonderful memories there and now we have returned as a part of our honeymoon. They are wonderful people and Inn Keepers. Cindy and I would reccommend them to anyone who would love to feel like they were welcomed and genuinely cared for. You would be hard pressed to find a place like this one.

We have had the pleasure of staying at the Lovill House for the past Three Years in a row now. I cannot begin to explain how Beautiful the Inn is or how much we Treasure Scott and Anne. They are the reason that we continue to visit year after year. I have already made our reservations for 2008. They really make you feel welcome, comfortable, and very special. I would recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone and everyone. The location is perfect, It is a vacation in itself just to stay at what we like to consider our "Home away from Home".

Whenever we decide to get away from the big city, our first thought for a mountain getaway, in any season, is the Boone, NC area and always The Lovill House Inn. The first-class accommodations and, most importantly, the wonderful hospitality of Anne and Scott, make our stays there the restful & refreshing getaway we are seeking. To call the Inn our second home is not an exaggeration. The comfort we get there truly allows us that feeling. Thank you Anne and Scott.

The Lovill House Inn is the best place to stay as a Bed and Breakfast if you like to be treated as a King and Queen. The Owners, Scott and Anne are such warm people and so eager to help you anyway they can. We couldn't imagine staying any other places when we visit in Boone, you have to try it to believe it. Don't take our word for it, book a night or two and you'll be hooked. It's also within walking distance to Grrrrrreat Shopping so thing about it!!!
