May 05, 2013
My husband, 10 year old daughter and I stayed 4 nights during Easter break. We are looking forward to returning for another 5 nights this July. This B&B is ideally situated off a quiet street, within easy walking distance of the main street in Monticello. We stayed in the pretty first floor Lacy Suite, which boasts an elegant four-poster bed with white lace coverlet. The en-suite has a gorgeous claw-foot bathtub. We paid an additional nightly fee to rent the large adjoining bedroom / study, where our daughter slept. There are many authentic touches, with tasteful, well-maintained décor throughout. I would just add that the home-cooked breakfasts were the highlight of our stay! Pat and her delightful housekeeper could not have been more solicitous for the comfort of their guests. We loved the freshly made coffee and juice, the homemade lemon-curd, waffles, scrambled eggs, fruit cups... I could go on. Breakfast was elegantly served at a large dining table around which all the guests dined. Pat puts guests at ease by introducing them and then leaving them to chat around the table. This B&B is a very special vacation experience, unlike any other in which I have stayed. You will not be disappointed.

As a business taveler, I've been a frequent guest over the past few years. Nice, clean rooms, great breakfasts, relaxing atmosphere, and the best hostess around. The Denham House is always a welcome change of pace, and the town of Monticello in a refreshing step back in time.
5 out of 5Old-style hostessing & Wonderful ambience
January 21, 2013
We were in town for a family funeral & stayed here for 2 days. This is a taste of the Old South you rarely find anymore. Our hostess was very gracious & solicitous. The breakfast was very well prepared using many local products & ingredients. We have stayed in resort communities that could only hope to provide such exquisite hospitality. We will stay here again!!! Steve & Cindy Ingersol Monument, Colorado

We absolutely loved our three day stay at the 1872 John Denham house. The Inn keeper "Pat" has the energy of a twenty year old. The breakfasts were wonderful and the rooms nicely decorated. We had a very relaxing experience and highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Sherry and Joe

5 out of 5Lovely Bed & Breakfast
September 17, 2012
A friend and I stayed at this beautiful B & B just 1 night on our way home from a brief road trip. I wish so much we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the lovely home, the grounds and the surrounding area. Owner Pat Inmon could not have been more gracious, greeted us warmly and got us settled into our room in no time. Our room, "Magnolia", was clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. We were so disappointed that we didn't have time to stay another day or two. We highly recommend this beautiful B & B - try to stay more than 1 night. Oh! Did I mention we were visited by a gentle female spirit overnight? That's something I won't ever forget!
Innkeeper Response
Thanks so much - it was a real joy having you three stay. Pat5 out of 5Peaceful B&B
September 17, 2012
Peaceful rest is what we found at this beautiful house. September is the best time to go for cool crisp mornings & less traffic. Pat is a wonderful cook & a delight to speak with about anything. My husband & I couldn't have had a better time on our vacation. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to have a slow paced relaxing time.

We came to do research on the area, soak up the culture and feel of the town. The home has been beautifully restored to original pastel tones and finishes. The beds are luxurious and the rooms VERY LARGE! Breakfast was delicious(as advertised)- the pecan waffles are a treat! Pat was very helpful with information , maps and suggestions! Prices are VERY GOOD VALUE!

5 stars in every category! My husband & I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary last Sunday. We stayed in the "Gold Honeymoon/Anniversary Suite", it was much bigger than the pictures showed esp the bathroom.. It was also really nice we were able to bring our little dog, Butters, with us! Pat was such a gracious host & her breakfast was amazing!!! We were bummed we didn't get to try any of her famous pecan waffles we kept reading about but the eggs, sausage, scones and fresh fruit she made for us was delicious! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!! Thanks again for making our anniversary that much better! -Nick & Nika

Signature Dish
Pecan Waffles
Requested over and over these waffles are made like Grandma used to make from scratch with beaten egg whites and served hot from the waffle iron. The large plentiful pecans are grown from trees in the yard or locally and melted real butter and warm syrup puts guests in heaven. They are served with homemade breakfast sausage from local locker plants and local yard eggs. I also have fresh fruit salad every morning. The apple-pecan/Kahlua icing mini muffins run a close second for popularity. Come Enjoy!Special meal options
