We had not stayed at Select Registry inns before but we will certainly search them out in the future. This bed & breakfast is a hidden jewel and we wish we had found it sooner. Opened in 2004 by innkeepers Greg and Mary, it is a charming... read more

One of two best B/B we've ever stayed. The number one "bestest" breakfast. Overall, it was a great experience. Other B/B should take note.

Our son recently moved to Daphne, AL and we wanted to visit him from our home in Pennsylvania. We searched Google for motels which also presented this B&B. It seemed like a good alternative for our 3 day stay so we reserved the Old West Room. It... read more
Innkeeper Response
Greg and I enjoy offering a place to relax and rest for all our guests. When visiting family or friends it often works out better for everyone to stay somewhere else. But that doesn't mean you should settle for a motel or hotel room when you can literally make yourself at home. As for those of you who have never heard of or tried chocolate gravy, you're in for a treat that is every chocoholic's dream, whether on a warm biscuit or fresh strawberries. Yum!

Innkeeper Response
Our inn is also our home, so we consider all who enter to be extended family. So when a "family member" receives upsetting news while here, we take it personally and do all we can to provide whatever comfort we can, even if it's just lots of hugs and a bag of goodies for the road. As for Porky, he is our very old, very independent cat. If you're allergic to cats, you don't have to worry about him hopping into your lap. But he will allow you to see him from time to time between naps.

Innkeeper Response
Thanks so much for the glowing review. We love sharing this special place with our guests. We feel blessed to have found this private oasis where folks can enjoy some peace and quiet as a break from alway being on the go. I've never considered myself to be a gourmet cook, but I really enjoy seeing guests leave the table full and satisfied. In fact, most guests say they skip lunch, which just leaves more time for exploring the area or relaxing. It's definitely the kind of place you want to be for more than one night so you really get a chance to enjoy your surroundings.

Innkeeper Response
Greg and I especially enjoy guests such as these who are getting the bed-and-breakfast experience for the first time. We see ourselves as not only trying to provide service that will have our guests wanting to come back again and again to our inn, but as ambassadors for the bed-and-breakfast experience overall. It is true that once you have enjoyed the uniqueness of staying in B&Bs, it's hard to make yourself go back to hotels and motels for extended vacations. And the conversation with guests at breakfast is our favorite part, too. It never ceases to amaze us how people from different walks of life and in different stages of their lives can sit down together for brunch and always find something to talk about, sometimes finding it hard to leave the table. Innkeeping is about the people and offering a special place to kick back and enjoy life, so we hope that those reading these reviews will hear themselves in the words and come enjoy the B&B experience personally.

Innkeeper Response
Thank you so much for your glowing review. Greg and I are always so pleased when someone has had such a positive experience at our inn. We work very hard to think like a guest and provide an atmosphere that is going to allow guests to make themselves at home. Of course, no inn is a perfect fit for every traveler, but we have been extremely fortunate to have had the majority of our guests be as wonderful and appreciative of our efforts as these.

Review Montrose Hideaway Bed-and-Breakfast Retreat, Fairhope, AL

Photo Album

There are two large living areas on the first floor where guests can gather to visit, play a board game or cards, or work a puzzle. A baby grand piano is provided for guests who play or for use during special occasions, such as weddings or receptions. Also, wireless Internet access is available in the first-floor common areas and on the deck for guests with laptop computers that have wireless capability.The Grand Master is the largest and most luxurious room. It includes a king-size bed, full-sized sofa, oversized leather recliner, desk with Internet access, armoire with TV/VCR/DVD/CD, clock/radio/CD and large private balcony. The luxury bathroom has his-and-hers sink areas (each with a hairdryer), and a bathing room with a large walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub surrounded by mirrored walls accented with 48 candles. A large walk-in closet has the iron/ironing board, luxury robes and slippers.
There are no shortage of wonderful outdoor places to kick up your heals and enjoy the fresh South Alabama air; whether from your room's balcony or the large deck, in the hammock under a shade tree or the gazebo tucked under trees and surrounded by azaleas, or while strolling around the 10-acre grounds and by the spring-fed pond. Come ready to relax and be renewed.Montrose Hideaway Bed-and-Breakfast Retreat lives up to its name ... it's a perfect spot to hide away and retreat. Come experience the casual elegance in this unique contemporary home. The meandering floor plan maximizes privacy and views, with an abundance of common space for relaxing and visiting with family and friends, as well as the privacy of the guest rooms. And because the property is tucked away off the road, you'll feel like you've been transported out into the countryside rather than just down the street from Daphne, the fastest growing communities in Baldwin county, and only four miles from downtown Fairhope and all its fabulous shopping possibilities.
The property features a large spring-fed pond, which makes a wonderful backdrop for intimate weddings. Contact us to schedule a tour and free consultations if you are interested in holding your wedding at this uniquely tranquil property.The bathroom in the Grand Master is an experience all its own. Includes his and her sink areas, garden tub, large walk-in shower and heated marble floors. The bathing area also includes mirrored walls accented by approximately 50 candles.
This great room is private to How Suite It Is, the two-bedroom suite. It is a great place for family, friends or business associates traveling together to gather in private in addition to having access to all the first-floor common areas.This spring-fed pond is a focal point of the property. Bring your fishing pole to see what you might catch. You may also see a variety of wildlife taking advantage of this beautiful setting.
We believe that if breakfast is going to be in the name, we'd better deliver. Come let us fill you with our bountiful brunch breakfasts. Menus change daily. Adjustments can be made if informed of food allergies or dietary restrictions in advance.
