Inn Details

HERE FRIENDS ARE WELCOME, ALL OTHERS SECURE!

We are a 2 bedroom B & B with a private library, kitchen and lake at your door.

The "sleeping room" as we like to call it in the South has two twin beds which can be made into a king bed, just let us know when making reservations. We have several pop up beds which our guests are welcome to use in the Library.

Charm, character, historically significant log house (Pending a National Historic registry) a small private lake with canoe at the end of a gravel road. Sleep to the sounds of crickets and the snap of an old fashioned ceiling fan.

Stay here and you will never want to leave. Long term options available for visiting parents or executives visiting Mercedes Benz and other large suppliers to Mercedes. Ask about special rates for long term guests.

PLEASE NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT! We are a TWO room B & B and PAYMENT MUST BE RECIEVED IN FULL WITHIN 5 DAYS OF MAKING RESERVATION. We DO NOT accept credit cards.

We are nice, good hearted people but this is a business for us and we have learned the hard way by losing money when people say they are going to send a deposit and don't we suffer financially. It isn't all about money with us and we have given the room for free to many people in need of a quick get-a-way who don't have the money to do so. But please adhere to our policy. Thank you for your patronage. We value our returning guests.
Thanks to all our returning guests.
