- Innkeeper(s): Wendy and Bill James
After 14 years in Hawaii, we searched the south for the perfect house to fulfill our dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast. We found just that in this historic beauty. And it even came with boxes in the attic filled with treasures! On display in the library are letters and documents dating back to the early 1800's. If you like history, you will love The Kate Shepard House. - The innkeepers speak: English
