Pat is a warm, friendly innkeeper. She makes you feel welcome and special. We met others staying at the inn and it was nice talking with them over the wonderful food that Pat prepares for her guests. Our room was so nice and our bed was extremely comfortable. We took a walking tour which we enjoyed and Pat is so willing to share the history of the area. We look forward to returning to the John Denham House.

Can't say enough good things about Pat and her wonderful B&B. My husband and I were in town for our son's wedding and everything was perfect. The room was large, clean and decorated with fresh flowers. Breakfast was great. Pat was gracious and friendly. The wedding pictures taken at the B&B are fantastic. Couldn't have been happier. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Pat

We spent three wonderful days with Pat in her gracious home. . . breakfasts were plentiful and very delicious. Don is still talking about the pecan waffles! Pat and the other guests were delightful. We had good chats. . . made new friends! Enjoyed the porch and our ground floor room. Living Room was a good place to gather with others, which we did often! Ghost stories and pictures were fun! Would love to drive down from Indiana again and again. Do visit, you will be more than pleased!

We stayed at this bed & breakfast Friday and Saturday nights (our friends daughter was getting married and they rented the whole bed & breakfast for family and friends to stay in. Our stay was very enjoyable. Our bed was so comfortable. Pat the innkeeper was very friendly and makes a wonderful breakfast. The first morning we had ham and cheese omelets, fresh fruit, and toast with a glass of juice made up of different fruits, and hot coffee and tea . It was awesome. The second morning we had pecan waffles with hot melted butter as well as hot syrup you can pour on your waffle, crisp bacon, and scrambled eggs with I think she called it fruit soup, it had fresh squeezed juice which was made up of different fruit. We were out late on Friday night , got back to the B&B around midnight and there Pat was in the kitchen squeezing grapefuit, oranges etc. We would definitely stay ate this B&B again.

We just finished our second stay at the Denham House. Pat is a gracious hostess and we felt very welcomed. We stayed in the Gold Room (the anniversary suite) and it was terrific - extremely comfortable bed, luxurious linens, and very spacious. You'll open your room door each morning to find a crisp newspaper, and our suite had a few magazines also. Wireless internet was a snap to use. Coffee is readily available in the morning for early risers, and while we were unable to enjoy breakfast due to zealous family cooks in the area, I'm sure like everything at the Denham house it would be excellent. I'm sure we'll be back the next time we're in town for Christmas.

After a long week of being on the road for my work, I decided instead of another hotel stay, I'd look for a quiet B&B so I could wind down before heading home. The John Denham House was the perfect choice. Nestled away about 5 miles off of I-10 in the small town of Monticello east of Tallahassee, I discovered a wonderful secret. Off by itself, quiet and beautiful rooms, wonderful bedding and Miss Pat was amazing! The service was perfect, attentive bue not over-done. Smiling, happy, with attention to detail. Clean, fresh and private. Needless to say, I will be back! This is the perfect spot for me to recoup after I come back from my next trip! JT/Vero Beach

My wife and I found our room to be quite large and sparkling clean. The owner and help were friendly --even to the point of cooking me grits-- which are not normal on their gourmet breakfast of juice, fresh fruit dish, biscuits , eggs and sausages. We will return and recommend this B&B to our friends. Great value and the grits were great too!!!

Pat is a nice woman(the Inn keeper). The front,outside of the house was "under construction" and the front outside patio was not in good shape. Travelling to many B&B's, resting on the front porch is always an important part of my stay. Front living room was, also, not real comfortable. Again, I'm used to "floppy"/read a book in, chairs and couches. There wasn't a true "hang out" room for the guests.

Innkeeper Response
Our beautiful front porch and lawn restoration is finished!! Come sit a spell in our wicker rockers and enjoy the spacious green lawn with new antique brick sidewalk and bubbling fountain. It is now a favorite wedding spot. Enjoy your your reading material or ours in our quiet parlor or veranda. Cable television is in every guest room with DVD along with comfy chairs or sofas.

This was our first experience at a B&B, and I have to stay that this was one of the most comfortable places to stay for me, next to home. Ms. Pat and Mr. T were very personable people, not like your very typical meet & greeter's at the Hyatt or the Radisson. We occupied the Magnolia room, and on the day that we had to check out I found it almost impossible to get up! It was a wonderful stay, and I'm sure that we will return, even if it is just to say hello toMs. Pat and Mr. T!!! What a beautiful place!!!

I think we were the last to leave the house that morning. Pat and her staff cooked us an awesome breakfast, the best juice I've ever had. We felt like we were her only guest in years. She sat with us afterwards and showed us pictures of the house that a family member had sent her. I loved hearing about the history of the house. The house is simply gorgeous and sitting on the porch at night was a special treat, it was so silent. I couldn't have asked for more, everything was perfect.

Stayed at the Denham House the week of Feb. 19th '07. Four other musicians and myself were lead into the house by Pat. She is an Awesome lady and treated all of us like family. As we entered one of our guys just happened to ask about ghosts, and she proceeded to enlighten us about the house be voted one of the best places to sleep with a ghost. Needless to say thats all we needed to hear so the hunt was on. Little did we know that our 2 day stay would provoke more activity in that house than there has probably been in 50 years, but it was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had with my buddies. We laughed at each other getting spooked so hard we were all sore for a week.If you are a ghost hunter looking for entities trust me, this house is full of chilling cold spots, flickering lights and phisical happenings that are unexplainable and definately things that I have never experienced.For ghost busters its a perfect spot to have a blast. For normal folks its a beautiful spot to vacation with awesome accomodations, a wonderful host and fantastic cooking for breakfast. Thanks for an awesome experience. Definately 5 stars all the way accross the board.

Review 1872 John Denham House, Monticello, FL

Photo Album

Come sit a spell on the front porch and chat or just enjoy the quiet with only the courthouse clock chiming the hour. The church chimes plays patriotic songs or hymns from time to time.  Listening to the fountain in the yard and  a glass of specially brewed iced tea will keep you cool.This is the front parlour done in the original paint color which reflects candlelight beautifully. This area is used for family get togethers, morning coffee and newspaper, as well as tea time and wine or drinks.  The 12 foot Christmas tree and decorations make this room breathtaking at the Holidays.
This is the main foyer and entrance of The 1872 John Denham House.  Please come visit us.This is the beautiful old worlde dining area.  You'll enjoy your full, served, gourmet breakfast with candles for special occasions.
Gold Honeymoon/Anniversary Suite includes the bath with an extra large claw foot tub/shower combination.  This suite was named top twenty spots to spend your honeymoon in Florida by Florida Magazine.This is the large beautiful bath attached to the Honeymoon/Anniversary  Suite.  It boasts a tub built for two as well as a shower, dressing table and bath soothers.
The Magnolia Room has a king bed and a walk- in shower. This quiet,serene room makes you feel like you have stepped in a whole different world made for reflection and happiness. Lacy Room - named for Mrs. O. Lacy, the long time third owner whose family had three  generations in the house.  It is our "oh so special" and romantic Honeymoon-Anniversary Suite with clawfoot tub/shower combination in the bath. 
    It adjoins another room which can be opened to make a very large family suite.
This is Harry and Lissy, the new puppies. Can you see Lissy hiding?  They are Lhasa Apso brother and sister who are rescue dogs.  I had to go to Tennessee to get them.  They love to meet our guests!This is the Camillia Room, named after the many Camillia trees with beautiful blossoms grown on the grounds and original camellia light fixture.  The pinks replicate the colors of the Camillas. It has a queen and also twin trundle/daybed for extra persons.  Candles in the fireplace and a lucious bath in the antique clawfoot tub/shower in the bathroom complete a wonderful picture and stay.
This is our upstairs foyer - another place for quiet conversations.  The stairs to the cuppola are located here.  Jefferson's Blue Room is just waiting to make you slip into comfort.  Candles in the fireplace add more romance. This room has a walk in shower in the large bath and a king bed.   
    There is an twin bed not seen in this view for extra guests.
