My husband and I live out of the country but my family is local. We were visiting for Thanksgiving. I wanted to do something special for my husband for his birthday. He has never experienced a Bed and Breakfast before. This was a great treat for him. We thought the Inn was very quaint, Marti´s customer service excellent and the breakfast served in our room to die for! Kudos to the family. Thanks for making our vacation so special and memoriable.

Great B&B! The rooms and bathroom facilities were clean, comfortable, and delightfully quirky, and there were all the free toiletries you could need! (I've found other B&Bs to be a bit stingy with the shampoo.) The owner is a perfect host -- friendly, helpful, fun to talk to, and an amazing chef! He made, hands down, the best B&B breakfast I've ever had. Overall, it's a wonderful value, and if you're in the area, you should check it out!

We stayed only one night but enjoyed our time there. The food was good the rooms spacious and comfortable. Stormy and Marty were more than helpful and completely professional.

My eldery mother was having rennovations made on her home. She needed a respite from the construction. We were looking for a quite place where she could rest, be close to the major highways, and be pampered. We arranged for accomadations at Inn of the Patriots. We both we charmed with the balance Marti, Stormy, and JT have developed. Every possible need and desire where met. I have food allergies and Marti was able to provide us with a beautiful hot breakfast everyday. The owners do not hover, but are nearby. My mother's emotional and physical needs were honored. We had just the right amount of privacy.

Arrived and made to feel at home from the second we stepped in the door. Historically important to the town and the area. The Inn itself has nice large rooms and lots of interesting historic memorbilia to keep you interested. Marti will take you on a tour of the Inn and fill you in on the importance of the local area to the Revol. War. We are both Navy people working for and active duty and it was so nice to have a fellow military man, showing us around. Now if all that is not enough for you. Lets talk about the food.... three words fab u lous!!!! I never had some of the local foods and was happy to try scuppernongs and liver mush. It was exciting to see what was being cooked in the morning...great coffee, terrific food and wonderful company. This Inn is not just a passing place to stay. You should put it on your list as a destination. Add in that Marti was a former chef for the White House, that Stormy was born and raised in the area and that together they suite themselves as perfect ambassodors for the town of Grover. Thank you for a great few days, we hope to return soon.....

We've stayed at many places over the years, but none compared to the Inn of the Patriots. The extra care we received was greatly appreciated. The food cooked by Chef Marty was worth the stay. And the room we chose to sleep in was elegant and most comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed the tour of the Inn and took many pictures. Not only did we vacation at the most wonderful Inn, but we learned so much about our country and it's past. Not to forget, so much about Marty and his work as a chef in the White House. His talent with the culinary arts is phenominal, especially to one's palet. The warm, relaxed atmosphere helped us enjoy every moment we were there. We hope, in the future, to have an opportunity to stay at The Inn of the Patriots again. Thanks Marty, Stormy and JT for a one of a kind stay. You helped to make our stay in NC the best ever!

My friend found this B & B while looking for a place half way between Florida and Virginia for the four of us to spend a long weekend playing cards and hanging out. We are two couples who are retired & active duty Navy who love cooking and great eating and this place seemed to fit the specs perfectly. Marti, JT, and Stormy were the perfect hosts. They were as involved as you wanted them to be. All we wanted was a place to play Euchre, a place to stash our coolers , a Martini shaker, wine and martini glasses and hot coffee in the mornings. We got all that plus! Each morning we had awesome breakfasts. The Austian egg sandwich was a favorite, Marti. We took advantage of asking Marti to cook us a German meal one night and we were stuffed afterwards. Everything was outstanding. The apple strudel had to wait till we walked around the block, but it was great afterwards when we enjoyed it with a cuppa coffee. Marti recommended so many things that we could do. We didn't take advantage of them all as we were primarily there to play cards and relax, but we did take him up on some of his recommendations for dining and were not disappointed. The rooms were nicely decorated, the house tour was so informative and the amenities were great. This was the perfect place for a getaway and one we plan of visiting again and again. I recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and eat like you had a personal chef cooking for you. Marti is a character and someone you can't miss meeting. His knowledge and experience leaves you wanting to hear more stories and pick his brain for recipes. Thanks again Marti, Stormy & JT Brenda & Andy Klaiber Middleburg, FL

This is an unusual B&B. Martin Mongiello, who runs the inn, is a very interesting person. He goes out of his way to be friendly and to entertain you with accounts of his experiences as a White House chef as well as to give local historical information.

The Inn of the Patriots itself was a pleasant place to stay. A quiet porch for reading and a lawn for horseshoes and croquet provided an abundance of leisurely entertainment. In addition, Chef Marty's tour of the mansion and White House culinary items was both interesting and very amusing. We would definitely stay again, and we would recommend the Inn of the Patriots to friends and family.

Marti was as welcoming as if we were members of his family. He immediately made us feel at home and gave us the best room in the house even though there were others vacant. His excitement over his collections of historic memorabilia is contagious and we really wished we had more time to see and hear about all that was there. Breakfast was beautifully served, delicious to eat, and lovely to look at. We will definitely recommend the Inn to our friends and will look forward to the next opportunity we may have to stay there.

My sister and I joined 3 cousins for a mini-family reunion in July. Marti and Stormy turned over the entire first floor to us, and three of us stayed 2 nights. The other two came down from Shelby and we spent hours in the parlor, laughing, talking and reminiscing. Everyone was very respectful of our need to talk and visit. We enjoyed Marti's delicious brownies while we sat and talked. Breakfasts were outstanding . . . especially the omelettes. Marti said he makes 22 different breakfasts and many different kinds of omelettes. I think it will be just a matter of time before we come back to sample more of them! We enjoyed the ambience, looking at the wonderful antiques, and walking in the garden. This is not a fancy place, but a home in which all are made to feel welcome. It was perfect for our needs, and we will certainly tell family and friends about it. I hope that next time we can take the tour and learn more about the history of the house and the people who were a part of Cleveland County's history. Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this B&B very much. The innkeeper was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. He gave us a tour of the mansion and offered to take us to a historical site. We were unable (due to our time constraints) to go to the historical site, however, we are looking forward to returning to this B&B. I would make only one suggestion. I would have preferred to have advance notice of the breakfast items to be served. The food was excellent, very nicely presented, and served promptly. The Inn was nicely decorated in the period of Civil War History. The bed was comfortable, the towels soft and plush, and lots of bathroom ammenities.

This B&B is very accommodating from our late arrival to our lost, locally purchased, merchandise. We had an exceptionally good culinary breakfast, which was served and prepared by a former Executive Chef to the President of the United States. The tour of the Presidential Culinary Museum was both very informative and historical. The innkeeper was also very knowledgeable about the local historical significance of the area. Through his input we were able to fully experience the importance of the area as it relates to the successful outcome of the Revolutionary War. The inn was well kept and very clean. We also enjoyed the exceptional furnishings from the Revolutionary period. When we departed we decided to plan out next trip north to include another stop at this inn. We will definitely pass the good word about this inn to our friends. The day we left, we received a cell phone call from the innkeeper to let us know that he had found some merchandise we had purchased (we thought we had lost the merchandise) and he was shipping the merchandise to our home address.

The Inn of the Patriots is a very unique and interesting place to celebrate a special event. With its themed rooms, large porch with rocking chairs and fascinating artifacts and memorabilia covering every available wall and space, the building is as interesting on the inside as it is unpretentious on the outside. The Colonial ambiance of the Inn, coupled with the region’s place in history is a perfect match. Innkeepers Marti and Stormy are congenial, down to earth people that truly make you feel welcome in their home. Marti is very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and attractions and up to date on all local events. Fresh flowers in our room, breakfast by candlelight, a birthday cake for Joan and an impromptu invitation for me to be a “Redcoat” in the reenactment of the Battle at Kings Mountain were unexpected extras that added to an already pleasurable experience.

The Inn of the Patriots may look like any other quiet bed and breakfast. However once you walk through the doors you know that you have stumbled upon a well kept culinary secret. Chef Marti is a former executive chef to the President of the United States. We choose the option to have the German dinner with Marti. He was polite enough to hold dinner an extra 45 minutes for us as we fought through traffic on our way from Virginia. A giant of a man, Marti met us in the foyer wearing a crisp white uniform and towering chef hat. We sat down at the formally set table as the smell of the German fare wafted in from the adjoining kitchen. My husband and I are history buffs and Chef Marti filled us in on the history of the mansion along with his tenure as an executive chef. I choose the Blue Ocean Dreams room to stay in. The room has all manors of nautical items, including many hidden items a vintage sailors uniform was draped on the bed. The entire mansion is a museum and you can spend quite a while reading the articles, pictures, and viewing antiques. The back porch is an ideal place to sit in the shade, or explore the civil war camp set up, complete with tent. We awoke early and my husband was able to spend some time pursuing the house and chatting with Chef Marti. I joined them after browsing through the ample literature for area attractions. The common sitting room was set up with many board games and toys. They also provide a guest kitchen where you can bring your own food, and prepare your own meals for an extended stay. Attention to detail is always a priority at the Inn of the Patriots. Candles were lit for breakfast and we sat down for a formal meal. A gourmet fruit salad and petite New York Strip steak with piping omelet was served. The omelet was excellent. Our stay at the Inn of the Patriots was memorable and Chef Marti and his family are the ultimate hosts. The dinner was a gourmet experience and the mansion a historic jewel.

We (my husband and I ) stayed at The Inn of the Patriots 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July, 2009. What I mean by the best of both worlds is that in my mind I knew that we were on vacation but in the present reality of it all I felt that we were right at home. The rooms are very well themed, and very, very well kept. The hospitality that we were shown during our stay was beyond anything we could have ever asked for. The meals were excellent and the breakfast was phenomenal (excellet french toast). The varieties of the jams and jellies were just out of this world. The den had internet access and board games as well as a good bit of intresting literature. The bedrooms were excellent and the amenities were all name brand and we just had an overall great time. This was and will be in the future our "Home away from home". Not to mention this is near 3 major battlesites from the Revolutionary War. These battlegrounds are very intresting in and of themselves. I would recommend this B&B to first timers as well as vetran B&B visitors.

Marti, Stormy and JT thank you for such a wonderful stay. Your hospitality was impeccable not to mention the delicious breakfasts each morning and the dinner Friday night. I didn't feel like a hotel guest in your home I felt like family. I needed a refresher to refocus and that's exactly what I left with. Who would have thought starting your day with breakfast on the patio in the rain could be so peaceful. I will follow you to where every lives journey takes you in the hospitality industry. Thank you guys see you soon!!! For those of you reading this to determine if you’re going to visit the Inn of the Patriots please visit if you’re looking for a family friendly, laid back country weekend or week away because that is what you will receive. It's not one of those nose in your air B&B's where you feel like a hotel guest and your bill looks like one. So if that's what you want don't book. Hopefully you want peace and quiet time to reflect and reconnect with yourself, your spouse or even the kids and you want a deliciously prepared breakfast in the morning that you don't have to cook. If this sounds like you then do not hesitate to give Marti and Stormy a call. It will be the best call you have ever made.

My husband and I stayed with Chef Marti & fam a few months ago and had no idea what an amazing culinary treat we were in for! There's a reason the world's leaders seek him out for their own kitchens -- and I felt like a queen myself dining at his table. It was just the two of us staying with him that morning, but he went all out -- with freshly cut fruit and berries, sizzling bacon, fried potatoes, and the most amazing goat-cheese-and-rosemary omelet seasoned with herbs from his own garden. Marti's also a serious history buff and gave us a great historical tour of the property, which is an adorable 19th-century home. The proprieters were very warm and welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The decor could use a little work, which is the only thing holding me back from giving the Inn a perfect rating. I know the place is still a work in progress, and I think that if the carpet were ripped up and the two downstairs rooms treated to an interior designer's touch, the Hambright Mansion would be as lovely and charming as it could be. We got into town late and had to leave the next morning, so I was sad that we didn't have more time to explore tiny Grover, NC. But we did have a lovely time sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch listening to the crickets chirp and the very occasional car go by. If I'm ever up that way again, I would definitely stop by for a stay at the Inn of the Patriots and another one of Chef Marti's 4-star omelets. I recommend it to all my Carolina friends.

We chose this inn on the strength of the web site and we were not disappointed. The breakfasts and Marty’s cooking tips were excellent. This inn exudes history. Marty as our guide not only filled us in on the house but the neighboring military parks at Cowpens and King’s Mountain. He went above the normal innkeeper service by making sure that we were informed of what was happening in the area. In addition, Marty called us before our visit to answer any question. He called us afterwards to make sure we got home safely. The ignition key for our Honda fell apart. Marty spent an hour and some olive oil to put it back together. We couldn’t start the car otherwise. He wanted us safely out of the area before the snowstorm. Many B&Bs are nicely decorated and have excellent food. What makes this B&B superior above other is Marty’s personal service and thoughtfulness.

In fact, it was so good that two of us raided the fridge at 2:00 am! And then managed to eat the 8-course breakfast the next morning! Anyone who needs a great get-away, a 'girls night out', whatever . . . this is the perfect place! - p shelby, nc

As a frequent travellar, I have experienced many Inns. The Inn of the Patriots has sumptuous beds, quiet atmosphere, and wonderful decor. Any person or persons who stay there, can do no better. Enjoy the large veranda and oversize rocking chairs. Dr. Benjamin Franklin

Chef Marti is genuine and dedicated about his B&B. He will go out of his way to ensure you have the best possible visit. The inn is all you can ask for, to unwind from the daily grind. The meals cannot be beat. There are many attractions close by and Marti is sure to help you find out about. Be sure to visit his website, and see the effort he puts in that as well.

Our first stay at the Inn of the Patriots was probably the best BandB visit we've experienced. The accommodations were great - we stayed in the Cleaveland room - and the service provided by Marti and Stormy was excellent. They made us feel like the most special guests and Marti prepared an excellent dinner for us as well. His talent as a chef is obvious and the friendliness and hospitality they extended was superb. Marti is an extremely interesting man with wonderful experiences to share in his culinary tour and that history combined with the local history of the area make the inn experience a unique one. Service and excellence is definitely their priority and we highly recommend the Inn of the Patriots! Robin & Lawrence, Huntersville, NC

Chef Marti made our stay at the Inn of Patriots wonderful. The service he and his family provide is second to none. Our breakfast was the best and most elaborate my wife and I have ever had at a B & B. Combine all that with the interesting Presidential memorabilia and one has the makings of a great stay.

The Inn is a wonderful place to get away. The service and ammenites are all wonderful. Marti runs a great place and the personal service he gives goes above and beyond. I would highly reccomend and have been back several times. I love this place and think Marti and his family are wonderful. He has also given me a bit of back home memories. And for that I thank him so very much. When my husband and I check in, we feel like we are with good friends, but we also know when we check out we still have a good friend, I truly mean that.

They'd only been open a few weeks, but they already had the service part down. Very friendly and VERY flexible. They love history (including area stories) and love fine dining. It was quite unique (he was a chef in the White House) in regards to getting a tour of the home as well.

Extremely impressed with this operation. My sweetheart and I typically choose out-of-the-way places, and prefer B&B's because of their uniqueness and charm - and the food tends to be not so 'cookie cutter.' We've had a few not-so-great surprises as well, and so we're not really looking for anything unusual - Until we met Marti and Stormy - and yes, that's her Real Name! The hospitality was professional, unobtrusive and superior. The food was simply unbelievable. The rooms well-appointed and it's rare that I don't have a little 'something' to say about my accomodations. But this was a great job and we were impressed. Thank you, Marti and Stormy for a great weekend - looking forward to seeing you again! Kind regards from Allan and Sara

We had a delightful experience at The Inn of the Patriots in Grover, NC. The Inn is just a few minutes from Interstate 85 and is a wonderful retreat after a full day of driving. Marty and Stormy, the owners, are so welcoming. Marty prepared an exquisite Italian meal for us the evening of our stay and breakfast was beyond expectations with a home cooked omelet, fresh eggs, bacon, etc. The food was superb! We had a lovely large room and a private bath. We highly recommend this B&B.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn of the Patriots and were surprised how well this new B&B had come together. Between the owners attention to the smallest details to the quiet setting, we felt welcome and relaxed. I am already considering using this a business retreat for my business associates. I was personally impressed with the owners credentials having served in the Navy and cooking at Camp David.

I have known Marti for over 10 years! This man is the truth when it comes to fine dining. We served together at the Presidential Retreat, Camp David and Marti truly loves to serve. He loves to see a smile on the faces of his guest and will go well above the call of service to acheive that result. His drive and motivation as been an inspiration to me while serving in the US Navy. Marti and Stormy was made for this purpose. I highly suggest that you stop in and enjoy thier hospitality! You will Leave with a smile and feel like you were part of a loving family.

I love small towns, especially in the South. The surrounding cities like Charlotte.Hickory/Spartanburg are within easy reach. The Former Exec Chef of the White House is so entertaining, and the food for breakfast was wonderful. The Kings Mtn Battleground was a great adventure for us as well. Thanks so much!

Marti and Stormy are perfect hosts who truly let you determine the type of B&B experience you want. My mother, sister and I were looking for a unique way to bring our trip to a close and the Inn of the Patriots proved to be the perfect place. We were treated to fine dining and interesting conversation as we "rocked" the evening away on the front porch. Our rooms were comfortable and our hosts made us feel right at home. An amazing breakfast was followed by the White House Culinary Tour . . . a special treat. This is a B&B that can be an overnight retreat or a weekend destination. Either way, Marti and Stormy will make you feel like VIP's. Enjoy the history of the area. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the historic home. Just enjoy!
