The Dian-lee House surpassed our expectations! Meeting the innkeeper Daniel was an added bonus! What a thoughtful and very talented guy - great cook and even played the piano while we ate dinner. Can't wait to go back there.

The Host and Chef of the Dian-Lee absolutely spoiled us rotten! From the moment of our arrival, they did absolutely everything they could to make our stay wonderful. We have a 6 year old and 8 year old daughter who thought for certain we were staying in a castle. The Chef went out of his way to make the children comfortable, and the girls felt very "grown up" with all of the adult attention. We stayed in the Hylton Suite for 2 nights and had a lovely experience. The Suite was enormous, and all four of us had plenty of room to spread out. I was able to sit on the deck with my wireless laptop, while one daughter played in the "master" room with the dollhouse, while my other daughter read in one of the bay window nooks and my husband watched football in the sitting area. The meals were scrumptious and the Host was gracious. We didn't want to leave!

I recently stayed at the Dian-Lee house in Bluefield, WV. This was my first time at a bed & breakfast and I was only staying here because it was close to the trade show I was attending. I have to be completely honest; my stay was an A+++ rating. I don’t have anything negative to say about this place. If I truly wrote about all the things that I enjoyed about this place, my review would be 5 pages long!!!My room was very spacious and decorated wonderfully and the bed was excellent! I even had my own entrance and deck area with a surrounding of beautiful flowers!! I felt welcome the minute I check in and left feeling like a valued customer. The morning breakfast was wonderful and offers all the special touches of a high end establishment. The best features of this place are Daniel and Preston. They are truly two of the most wonderful people I have ever met. They were very concern about my stay and were willing to do whatever it took to make me feel like I was at home. Daniel even offered me some of his sinus personal medicine when he found out I was suffering from a terrible sinus headache. I mean really, he could have told me where the nearest store was so I could go buy my own but that’s just not Daniel! Preston and I spoke about the history of the house and all the wonderful flowers that surrounded the place. I was even allowed to take some seeds home to plant the flowers around my home. To add the cherry on my perfect stay was the price! It was cheaper to stay here than in the dumpy plane chain hotels nearby. I am a customer for life and have told everyone I know about this special place that hides in Bluefield, West Virginia!!

Daniel Clark is the perfect extension of the classic gentility of the Dian-Lee House. I don't know how a 26 year old does it, but Daniel provides guests with personal attention and flexibility without making it seem like a chore. Every morning, guests can pick one of three breakfast entrees to arrive anytime within a two-hour period. Daniel manages this while stopping for a chat about the decor of the house, providing a history of Bluefield, or offering the services of a local therapeutic masseuse. The late-great actor, Spencer Tracy once said, "The secret to acting is remembering your lines and not bumping into the furniture." That's what the best do. They make their assigned task, no matter how difficult, seem easy. Daniel Clark makes it seem easy. My wife, Mina came with me to Bluefield as an act of charity. Since I was a kid, I wanted to see the Bluefield Orioles; the team that was the first professional baseball experience to such greats as Cal Ripken Jr. and Boog Powell, in action. Basically, I was asking her to travel 350 miles, so I could watch a bunch of 19 year old boys play baseball. It was a hard-sell, yet the Dian-Lee House made it easy. Not only did the exquisite furnishings, peaceful neighborhood and gourmet meals make the trip worthwhile for her, a comment about Mina's strained ankle, led to a fortuitous suggestion from Daniel. While I marched off to Pipestem State Park for an afternoon of intense hiking, Daniel arranged for Kathleen, an expert therapeutic masseuse to visit Mina. Kathleen worked her magic, and Mina was relaxed and quite happy upon my return. What have I learned from this? Daniel is able to meet the diverse needs of his guests, even if that diversity exists within the relationship of a married couple. Russ Letra Baltmore, Maryland

Well, This was my first bed and breakfast experience and it was a wonderful one. The rooms and the atmosphere throughout the house were marvelous. At $95 a night, it's cheaper than any hotel in town. The price tells me that the owner is clearly passionate about the B&B and not so much worried about the income. When we stayed, they had just put in 2 new paintings from the 18th century, so it's constantly being updated. Of course, it's a 6000 sqft house, so there are a few things that need tidying up. But the manager, Daniel, is a superb host. He makes you feel very welcomed and even grew up next door. I would definitely recommend staying at the Dian-Lee if you are in the area. It is only 10 minutes off 77 and it's a wonderful stopping point on any route up or down 77. Be sure to check out the hiking trails and the coal mine tour nearby. Also, I got engaged that weekend, and my fiance could not have been happier to come back and relax at the Dian-Lee house. We snuggled up on the couch and read that night, she played the piano, and we helped ourselves to champagne glasses to celebrate! We are planning to return in the winter to go skiing at the nearby mountains.

I immediately felt at home in Dian Lee. And from what I heard from other guests, this seems to be a common experience. There's no staged comfort here. The mansion is filled with an eclectic collection of antiques, giving each room, whether public or private, a character of its own. It's easy to find a place to settle in. And the innkeeper, Daniel, is accommodating and helpful...even delivered homemade peach cobbler one night when he received an unexpected gift of fresh peaches. For those who'd rather have breakfast without conversation with other guests, you have the option of being served in several dining areas, including a table in front of the fireplace or my favorite, a light filled glassed-in porch. I'll be back.

We've stayed at the Dian-Lee House twice. One in September 2006 and again last week. Both times we've reserved the Rhett Butler room, which is roomy and has a four poster queen bed and a fireplace. The common areas of the Inn are beautifully appointed in period antiques. We love to grab an early morning cup of coffee and read on the expansive front porch.
