    Outstanding Hospitality!!

    March 30, 2013

    JoAnn was a delightful hostess and made us feel so at home! We had a great breakfast both mornings and so enjoyed our conversations. We enjoyed a short trip to a national historical site and found several good restaurants in the area, Would definitely go back again!

    Wonderful stay!

    March 18, 2013

    Our stay at the Mistletoe B&B was a wonderful experience. The house was beautiful and very clean. We were greeted by the innkeeper, JoAnn when we arrived. She had fresh-baked cookies ready for us on arrival. She was a lovely hostess and an excellent cook. We were served delicious french toast for breakfast. If you are interested in a quiet, ambient stay in a beautiful and historic house, then the Mistletoe Bough B&B is right for you. I sincerely hope to stay there again in the future.

    I wanted to stay in every room!

    March 17, 2013

    What a wonderful old home! Joann makes it feel like your home, too! We laughed because I came around to the front door ("the fancy way"), when I arrived. She invited me back to the litchen, to meet another guest, travel writer, Linda Bentley, of The Packed Bag. She was doing her 50 States in 50 weeks tour, and fortunately, had just arrived in Alabama! SHe and JoAnn were like a comedy tag team, and I was surprised when I found that they only just met that day. I think that happens a lot with JoAnn, though! The bed was absolutely lovely and I had the best night's sleep.The Keurig was right outside my room, so that was perfect! I want to stay there again - all I have to figure out is which room next time....

    21st Wedding Anniversary

    February 05, 2013

    We completed our second stay at the Mistletoe Bough Bed and Breakfast and it was even better than the first time. It was a surprise getaway for my wife to celebrate our 21st Wedding Anniversary and our first after recently retiring from the US Navy. I planned the weekend complete with chocolate covered strawberries and beautiful roses both of which JoAnn graciuosly set up for me. The flowers were beautiful and her hand dipped strawberries amazing (she even included some homemade cookies!). We had a wonderful dinner at the Springhouse restaraunt located near lake Martin and only a short distance from the B&B. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special evening. The prices are a little steep but worth every penny! Want to end by saying what a pleasure it was to get to know JoAnn again, she is such a wonderful host and the food is amazing! I would recommend this B&B to anyone weather it is a romantic get-away or just a break from everyday life. God Bless you JoAnn and thanks for an amazing weekend! Rob & Rita Sickmiller

    Our first experience of staying at a Bed & Breakfast

    January 28, 2013

    What an Awesome first time experience of a Bed and Breakfast ! This is a beautiful and unique home very fitting for a Bed and Breakfast. If you enjoy a person that is very professional and yet very personable you will enjoy meeting JoAnn, she's a great cook also. If you ever get the chance to stay at the Mistletoe Bough Bed & Breakfast please do so. You won't regreat it and while your there ask about the Stake House that is in town good food and music! JoAnn suggested and she was right. Very friendly town!

    A wonderful experience

    November 26, 2012

    I spent the Thanksgiving holiday at the Misletoe and had an absolutely wonderful time. JoAnn is the best innkeeper/host ever . What might have been a somewhat quiet holiday for me was a truly wonderful experience thanks to JoAnn and her hospitality. She does everything possible to make you feel comfortable and at home - even allowing me to share a Thanksgiving meal with her and husband, Jesse. Her upside-down Apple Pie was scrumptious. It was a sunny Fall day and I enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing talking with JoAnn and gathering some of the beautiful blooms from the many camellia bushes in the gardens surrounding the house to create a centerpiece for the table and then walked in the side yard to see the fish swimming the in pond. On this visit, I stayed in Andrea's room and could watch the squirrels scampering through the pecan tree outside the windows of my room as they gathered their winter food. This was not my first visit to the Mistletoe and it won't be my last. It doesn't get any better than the Mistletoe, thanks to JoAnn and the genine hospitality she shows her guests.

    Coming Home

    October 22, 2012

    The first stop on our bike trip was the Misletoe Bough and our final stop before retuning home. Each time we felt as if we were visiting family. JoAnn and Max gave us a feeling of being more than just a guest. Truly one of the best B&B that I have stayed at. The house and rooms are wonderful, Can't say enough about JoAnn and how she made us feel so very welcomed. Max stole my heart and wanted to take him home with me. We are already planning our next trip.
