August 12, 2012
A remarkably well priced and most comfortable property. The accommodations were lovely, not overdone, extremely comfortable and conveniently set up. The hosts were warm and delightful, and their service all that could be asked for. Most highly recommended for a stay near downtown Montgomery.

Red Bluff Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Each room is set in a different style and all are beautifully decorated. Our host and hostess were great people and very friendly. For an at home type autmosphere this is a must place to be when visiting Montgomery

Red Bluff is well appointed, clean and quiet with breakfast at the leisurely hour of 8:30 a.m. The rates seem a bit high and multiple night stays do not receive any "maid service" which brings into question the noticeable requests for a gratuity. The food was good but the host should observe the generally accepted concept of not discussing politics or religion.

Rose Bedroom
The romantic atmosphere of this beautifully appointed guest room invites you to escape to a quieter time and place. Its focal point is a sleigh bed accented by an oval Queen Anne desk, a Tiffany lamp and a unique well-worn New England rocker. Relax as you cuddle up on the cozy loveseat or recliner and listen to your favorite CD. Read a book from the owners' library or one of many available right in your room. Take in the aroma of fresh flowers as you eat several of the candies left especially for you.

My room was comfortable and extremely well-appointed. This is a lovely venue, and the innkeepers are very accommodating and welcoming. There is one long dining room table where the guests gathered for breakfast, and I much preferred that to separate tables. Bonnie and Barry are wonderful hosts, and by the time I left, I felt like a friend. This is among the best of the B&Bs in which I have stayed over the years.

My first visit to a B&B, very relaxing, beautiful rooms and distinct southern charm! Will definately stay again.
5 out of 5Weekend in Montgomery
April 16, 2007
My companion and I had a wonderful weekend at the Red Bluff Cottage. The room was fantastic and very romantic. We had dinner at restaurant located only blocks away, followed by the Shakespeare theater and the following morning breakfast and the quests we enjoyed it with were simply unique. They even have a porch with a resident cat to enjoy your morning coffee and paper. We'll definitely go back again.
