Lovill House Inn

The breakfast each morning was amazing and we couldn't have asked for better service. We expected to spend money but it was well worth it. Our room was so cozy and perfect for our retreat away from home.

This place is wonderful! The Inn was beautiful, the breakfast was delectable, the room was outstanding, but best of all, were the innkeepers Scott and Anne. I made plans to propose to my fiancée in the NC Mountains sometime in early 2012. After thoroughly searching around the web and asking for recommendations, I decided to give the Lovill House Inn a call. I called the inn later into the evening on a Wednesday night and Scott answered. I told him my plans and from the beginning, he was very helpful and jovial. Quickly into our call, I knew this was the place. Scott and I concocted our plans and over the next few weeks, he helped me make our wonderful weekend happen. Later into a Friday evening, we arrived at the inn and Scott gave us a wonderful tour. During the tour, we were taken in by the beautiful house. He made us feel right at home and helped us to our room. We both loved the place right away. Both weekend mornings, Anne prepared a scrumptious breakfast. There were plenty of options and we left full and happy. Scott and Anne are incredibly interesting and have many wonderful stories to share. They encourage guests to meet and great. They treat everyone with respect and provide outstanding customer service. Both provided my fiancée and me with great advice and tips about the area. We look forward to our next visit back to the Inn for the wonderful time as well as to see our friends Scott and Anne. -Jack Michel (4/23/2012)

We have stayed at several B&B all across the East Coast. The Lovill House Inn was the best one that we have stayed at so far. Scott and Anne were awesome and great cooks and just provided a very nice and comfortable stay. Sterling, Va

Lovill house is an amazing B&B the history to the town of Boone and the House is very interesting. The Bristol Room we stayed in was fantastic very quaint and cozy with its own wood burning fire place for a wonderful romantic experience. The servive is supurb Scott, Ann and their staff are wonderful and extremely friendly making everyone feel comfortable and at home. The place is spotless, the livingroom with its grand fire place and wonderful light hearted music playing makes for a great meeting place and very relaxing. The dining experience well what can we say the food Anne prepares is wonderful she is an amazing cook. The fruit the serve with breakfast is extremely fresh and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend Lovill House to anyone wanted to have one of the best experiences they will ever have at a B&B, and there prices are very reasonable we will be returning first chase we get.

Thank you for all the personalized service and care with our brief family stay. Jeannie. Russ & GiGi Lytton

Super friendly hosts, Super delicious breakfasts, cozy bedroom, highly recommended !!!

we had a wonderful stay at the Lovill House. Scott and Anne are great hosts and made us feel right at home. Scott is full of suggestions on where to visit and very knowledgeable about the area. the breakfasts are delicious!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for New Years Eve and were extremely happy with not only the service and the Bristol Room, but we were also surprised to find how close we were to downtown Boone and King St. Lovill House is about a 10 minute walk to shopping and dining. It most definitely made for a convenient New Years celebration. It's worth mentioning the Bristol Room is filled with charm and history, being that the Lovill House is the oldest house in Boone, NC. The wood burning fireplace was a plus for us and the main reason we chose this room above all others. It's nostalgic charm and cozy feel made getting up for breakfast extremely hard, but worth it. Scott and Ann are lovely innkeepers and I would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for something not too tucked away for some city slicker action but just enough to enjoy 10 acres of exploring. Most definitely a home away from home.

Once again our Lovill House Inn experience was excellent. This was our second consective year staying with Ed and Ann and the we can't say enough about their hopitality and genuine desire to make our stay a memorable one.

We were looking for a simple, relaxing getaway in quaint setting and boy did we find it. The experience was simple yet elegant.

We recently stayed at the Lovill House and it was an incredible experience. The Inn is incredible with beautiful grounds, wonderful atmosphere and top notch hospitality. We arrived early and received a map to our Christmas Tree location. When we returned our room was ready, received a tour of the grounds and even saw a 6 point buck outside the back door. We will be going back again and hope to make it a yearly event. Loved it!!!

Scott and Anne are fabulous hosts and went out of their way to make our stay relaxing and memorable. Anne went above and beyond by preparing food to accommodate my special diet. I was surprised and especially touched. No bed & breakfast that I have stayed at before has done that for me!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Lovill House in November. The hi-light for us was the warm and friendly atmosphere provided by owners, Scott & Anne. Highly recommend.

My stay at the Lovill house inn was amazing!! The in keepers are awesome, welcoming, and really care about their guests. The owners went out of their ways to make my partner and I feel welcome and my partner's birthday special! The website didn't do the place justice it was BEAUTIEFUL!!!!!!!! I can't thank them enough!!!! I will go back and send as many people as I can!

We have stayed at many B&B's over the past 20 years. The Lovill House Inn is a great location for an APPState football weekend. Close enough to downtown to walk, but secluded enough for quiet relaxation. We liked having the buffett breakfast for choices. It was also nice to come down to breakfast have a cup of coffee first and be ablt to chat with other quest. Scott and Anne are very nice innkeepers!!!!1

Scott and Anne were wonderful hosts. The rooms were exceptional and the food delicious. It was a wonderful visit.

We just returned from a trip to Boone and a visit to the Lovill House Inn. From the moment we arrived, Scott and Anne treated us as old friends and were happy to help us with information on restaurants, outings, etc. The breakfasts were outstanding, and there was a choice of light fare (yogurt, fruit) and/or egg dishes and breads. We also got a tip from Scott for a great deli which packed sandwiches for our hiking trip. We will definitely be back. Bruce and Pat

This was the first time here and we loved it! Scott and Anne are really great! The Lovill House is beautiful, and being the oldest house in Boone. We will stay here again on our next vist to the mountains! Harold & Carol

We stayed in the Spring House for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 1st year anniversary. The small cottage met our expectations and then some. Great privacy while also providing us all of the amenities of the main house. The small touches provided by Scott and Anne, such as chocolate-covered strawberries and heart-shaped waffles to celebrate our anniversary was icing on the cake. Will definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, super nice host!! Will be returning soon.

We will definitely visit the Lovill House Inn again. Scott and Anne are gracious hosts, and the accomodations were perfect!

Wish we could have stayed longer. Scott and Anne were delightful. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We hope to go again. Janice and Clyde Hollis

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend. It was our first stay at the Lovill House Inn. Scott and Anne are so welcoming. Their attention to detail is impeccable and Anne's breakfasts are a treat to eat. Our room was quite spacious and had all of the comforts of home. We will be back to stay again whenever we're in Boone visiting our daughter at ASU.

Always good to be back with some warm welcomes from Scott and Ann who became friends over the years. The food is fabulous and you get to meet some very interesting people. The rooms are always very clean. The best place to stay in Boone. AMG

Warm, comforting atmosphere. Helpful and welcoming hosts. In the fresh mountain air. Just what I needed!

Beautiful home - great location - innkeepers were average, didn't feel comfortable in the main house area, always felt as though we were being watched - breakfast was just average

We recently stayed at the Lovill House Inn located in Boone, NC. Whether we need to just 'get away' from it all, are travelling, or on a vacation, our first choice for a place to stay is at a bed and breakfast. The high quality of service, the rooms, dining and atmosphere are what you expect when staying at a bed and breakfast and the Lovill House Inn is no exception. Our hosts, Scott and Anne, were very gracious and accomodating (as we needed to check in earlier than the allotted time). We highly recommend staying at the Lovill House Inn - you won't be disappointed!

We found the innkeepers to be warm, welcoming and full of information they were willing to share. We felt they really cared about us being there and enjoying our visit to the Boone area to the fullest. Their desire to make us feel at home greatly surpassed our expectations and we would recommend them to all who wished to visit that area of our state.

We had planned a weekend in the mountains and could not have been more pleased with our choice of places to stay. Everything was perfect, from the rooms, to the beautiful grounds, the breakfast, and the warm hospitality of the innkeepers, Scott and Anne. The location is great, right near downtown Boone but far enough away to escape the noise.

We enjoyed our stay at Lovill House Inn. The hosts were very helpful with dinner suggestions and things to do in the area, the breakfasts were amazing, and the inn and grounds are beautiful. We have been to many b&b's and this was the first one that had wine available for the guests in the kitchen fridge!

We had a great time in Boone! Our stay was wonderful and we were very pleased with the room. The Innkeepers were very friendly and the food was yummy!

Very clean, host was quite solicitous, road noise in the room I had was pretty constant, mattress and pillows were very comfortable, wireless for the iPad was hard to find, gardens and property were totally charming. Value would have been better if I had arrived earlier and stayed later to enjoy both the property, the breakfast and the people more. The large porch with swings and cosy chairs was peaceful and inviting. I would stay there again and would recommend the place to others.

The Lovill House went above and beyond our expectations. Scott and Anne were warm and gracious hosts, the rooms were delightful and the food was spectacular. It has a beautiful garden; you simply can't go wrong!

This was our first experience at a Bed and Breakfast. Loved the Lovill House Inn and would definitely go back!

We just got back Friday from a wonderful 3-night stay at the Lovill House Inn in Boone. The location was great--only a few blocks from downtown Boone but sitting on the front porch felt like you were a million miles away from the world. The heirloom flowers in the gardens were gorgeous and perfect for a historic home. Scott and Ann were the best of hosts, giving us enough attention to make us feel welcome and at home but giving us enough space to feel free to enjoy their home. The breakfasts were delicious and we had such a good time with the other guests that we found ourselves lingering at the dining room table each morning. We hope that we will get the chance to visit Lovill House Inn again.

Absolutely a fantastic B and B and very nice and knowledgeable innkeepers. The accomodations were top notch and the breakfasts were super.

Nice people, pleasant company, wonderful accommodations.

This is by far the BEST ROOM we have stayed in. It was roomy and extremely clean. A very enjoyable and relaxing inn.

The Lovill House Inn is surrounded by colorful, well maintained gardens, giving a peaceful and serene feeling to the property. Ann and Scott, the owners, are available for area information and are very helpful without being obtrusive. Delicious breakfasts. Highly recommend this B&B!

Scott and Anne are excellent hosts. The house is beautiful and very comfortable and the breakfasts are superb. Would love to stay there again.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Scott and Ann staying 3 nights at the Inn. Wonderful time, outstanding food from Ann and great attention to our comfort from Scott. Very helpful in providing directions to attractions and dinner opportunities. The Inn itself was set nicely and very quiet in the evenings where we spent time rocking on the porch and enjoying the comfortable evenings. I would recommend the Inn to anyone looking for accomodations close to areas of interest but set apart from the main flow of traffic and congestion. Scott and Ann are excellent hosts and work hard to ensure your stay exceeds your expectations. Kerry & Debbie, Fuquay-Varina, NC.

beautiful setting...exceptional service...great food...ideal b&b experience

Great spot, great house, great rooms, nice balance of service/informality was very relaxing.

Hosts were very friendly, very helpful with directions, attractions. Room was very clean, adequately appointed. Bed was very comfortable. Grounds and common areas were beautiful and very well maintained. Enjoyed our stay.

We were celebrating our anniversary and spent two days at the Lovill House. Scott and Anne go above and beyond in every aspect starting with the breakfast which were both outstanding. They know so many things to do in the area; they can keep you busy your entire stay. Don't know where to have dinner? Don't worry, they have menus for all the restaurants so you can sit in the living room and browse them. Anne and Scott are great. We had a great time.

We stayed in the separate cottage, which was quite cozy. We enjoyed the superb breakfast!

Just the best place! In the city, but feels like it is miles away from anywhere. The pictures don't do the inn justice. it is immaculate and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was just fantastic and served in such a warm and personal manner. Scott and Anne are the best-so personal and helpful in getting the most out of your trip to the Boone area. If you are looking for a B&B in the Boone area-stop looking and book your room here!

We stayed here 3 nights last week and loved it. The innkeepers are friendly and helpful. The inn was spotless, and the food delicious. Highly recommended !!

How can anyone stay here and not love it? You are greeted warmly by the owner, fed well, sleep soundly, surrounded by beauty, and all for a reasonable price. The inn keepers are so charming, knowledgeable, and accommodating. That, alone, is worth the trip. Additionally though, the historical house is conducive to relaxation. You can sit on the porch rockers with a book and a glass of wine. You can listen to music, watch a movie (they have a huge collection), help yourself to a variety of beverages in the fridge, walk the gardens, sit by the fire, or head out to the zillions of possible things to do in the area. My elderly father and I stayed there while visiting my son at App State. We couldn't have picked a better retreat. My son was welcomed like family by the innkeepers when he stopped in to pick us up. Stay there. You won't be disappointed.

Peaceful stay, close to town, innkeepers are warm people who are a wealth of information. Would recommend this Inn to everyone.

There's not a better place to stay in the heart of the High Country than the Lovill House. What a wonderful, peaceful, enjoyable time we spent getting to know Scott and Anne and walking around the breathtaking grounds. Of course Boone and the surrounding area was spectacular but what made our 3-night stay rate the best was feeling so at home with Scott and Anne. Did I mention the wonderful breakfast feasts that were prepared...we will be back many times. Scott and Anne thank you for a wonderful anniversary filled with treasured memories; our stay was beyond our dreams!! Tim and Rhonda

We loved our visit to the Lovill House Inn. Scott and Anne are outstanding hosts--very familiar with the area, willing to share information, and warm and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful with lovely flower gardens, a stream right outside the inn, and a gazebo with a porch swing next to the stream to help you relax and enjoy a quiet morning. The wrap-around porch is wonderful with an abundance of rocking chairs and tables. The location of the inn is downtown Boone, but it's hidden behind a wall of trees so you would never know you were near King St. But that makes it a perfect, centrally located place to use for day trips and close to downtown restaurants and shopping. Thank you, Scott and Anne, for your generous hospitality. Sincerely, Lynne and Norm from Michigan.

We were celebrating our anniversary and had never been to Boone. I had found the Lovill House Inn by researching online and decided, "why not?" I am so thankful that we did! Scoot & Anne took such great care of us and made sure we were as comfortable as if we were at our very own home. They made sure we knew the area and gave us guided instrutions and information about the area. We also were impressed that they gave a military discount. I just hope we get a chance to visit Boone again and if we do you will find us at the Lovill House Inn!

We could not have asked for a better place to end our trip to NC. Anne and Scott are the best innkeepers and the whole place is just lovely. Breakfast was outstanding, tasty, delicious, with a bit of everything. Our room on the second floor was beautiful with a very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom.

This is the quintessential B&B experience. Anne and Scott are wonderful hosts and great prople. They are very helpful with finding restaurants, things to do, and making your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The layout and breakfast setup encourage the interraction of guests and make for an enjoyable and friendly visit.

This historic house was very beautiful. We especially liked the wormy chestnut (saved from renovation of the house) door facings. The grounds were inviting to look at and walk around. There were many personal touches such as heated coffee mugs and turn down service. We couldn't ask for a cleaner inn--our bedroom and bath were immaculate. The hosts were available to answer our questions and help whenever needed. We especially enjoyed the full breakfast each morning.

We had a most enjoyable and pleasant stay with Scott and Anne. They were very gracious and hospitable and full of information on the historic property and the town. The breakfasts were well planned and encourgaed guests to share in conversation. I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone. We were there during March but we guess it would be even better in spring, summer and fall..... Margot & Gary.. Delaware

We stayed in the Cottage behind the main house and it was imaculant with a small fireplace inside and a wonderfull view from the porch! We experienced great southern hospitality by the inn keepers themselves! We had a very tastefull breakfast waiting for us the next morning with plenty left for secounds if wanted and fresh brewed ground coffee! I would recommend the Lovill house inn to anyone wanting that taste of home feel with the southern hospitality as well.

This was our 6th visit to the Lovill House Inn...obviously we love it. We look forward to the welcoming greetings and hugs from innkeepers (and now friends) Scott and Anne Peecook when we arrive. The home has a comfortable feel...the big front porch, the beautifully decorated rooms, the comfortable living room, the delicious home-cooked breakfast...and so clean! The gardens are lovely and so well-kept...a lot of time and love goes into making the yard pretty in all seasons. It is a great place to call home as you explore the surrounding areas. Scott and Anne are attentive to the needs of their guests and enjoy serving in any way they can. We look forward to our next visit...

Anne and Scott were perfect Innkeepers and very knowledgeable about the area and changing weather conditions. The Inn was beautifully appointed, and every thought was for the comfort of its guests. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Scott and Anne are wonderful, gracious hosts. The atmosphere could not be more relaxing. The breakfast is by far the BEST I have had! We look forward to our next stay.

We had a great time at Lovill House Inn. The food was amazing and Scott and Anne made us feel welcome and well taken care of. We will definitely be returning!

We stayed for our honeymoon, it was wonderful! Scott and Anne are delightful innkeepers! We highly recommend the Lovill House Inn.

Have stayed here many times and have always enjoyed our stay's.

It doesn't get any better than Anne and Scott Peecook at the Lovill Inn.

We pullled into Boone at 4PM on Thanksgiving day - no idea where to stay. Punched my smartphone looking for a B&B - with great wonder, the Lovill house I did see. They asked if we would join them for a Thanksgiving feast - we replyed, of course we'll help you carve that beast! It was the BEST thanksgiving diner to date!!! Make your reservations for Christmas and don't be late!!!! Thank you Scott and Anne - surely you will see us again.

From the moment we arrived at the Lovill House Inn to the moment we left, it was a great experience. We arrived the day after Thanksgiving and were greated by Scott, Anne and the lingering smell of a big family dinner. Scott and Anne were extremely friendly and helped us with everything we needed. We only stayed one night and they treated us like we had been there for a week. The room was spotless and the bed was great. Loved the turn-down service while we were at dinner. Now comes the food. Breakfast was delicious. Every thing was home-cooked and great. There is no question that we will be back to stay at the Inn and visit Scott and Anne again. Matt and Rachel, KY

My wife and I decided to get away for the Thanksgiving holiday seeing how we had our family gathering the weekend before. Since the Lovill House Inn was offering a Thanksgiving dinner package we decided to opt in. What a great choice that was!. The meal was fantastic, everything you would expect for a Thanksgiving feast. Anne and Scott (innkeepers) joined the guests for the meal making everyone feel like family. Breakfast was also great, very attentive service. Anne is a terrific cook; Scott is a wealth of information. This couple knows how to treat their guests. The room was very spacious, clean, comfortable. We would definitely return!

Our son is a Freshman at App St. Our stay was the first time we had been up to see him. The Lovill is a great location - close to everything. From now on, we will be staying at the Lovill House Inn.

My wife and I went to the Lovill House Inn for a weekend of peace and quiet. We were very impressed with Scott's knowledge of the area and appreciated his recommendations for food and fun. Anne did a great job with breakfast and it was definitely the home cooked meal we were looking for.

We came up for a long weekend and the Lovill House Inn was wonderful. We stayed in the Spring House and loved the fireplace. Breakfast was delicious in the morning and a great way to start the day. I am looking forward to coming back in the spring to see all the beautiful gardens around the inn.

We have visited many times at the Lovill House Inn and found it to be our 'home away from home'! All the rooms are uniquely decorated inviting warmth and serenity. This past visit we stayed two nights in the roomy Bristol Suite with its comfortable king bed and wood-burning fireplace! Scott and Anne have always been courteous, attentive hosts catering to our every need and have put much thought and effort into presenting tasty gourmet breakfasts as well. We love staying at the Lovill House Inn where we are treated like family and will definitely be back for another visit! Ken and Cheryl

Upon arrival, the innkeeper met us and gave a thorough tour and instructions on using the facilities. The Inn was clean, nicely decorated, and well organized. However, there was no "hosted social hour" as advertised (we were invited to help ourselves to soft drinks or box wine, which was nearly empty) nor was there a fire in the fireplace as promised during breakfast. Only a couple acres of the 11-acre estate were available for guests to enjoy, the rest being an undeveloped ridge.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I would like to say I am sorry. The night you stayed with us was my birthday. Our son and his bride booked a room to surprise me, and I dropped the ball in not recognizing that the social hour was important to you. Concerning the fireplace the next morning, I believe that no one was in the living room by 8:20 so we did not light the fire since breakfast was at 8:30. The layout of our property is 11 acres, 8 are wooded and 3 are groomed. You can walk up to the waterfall, sit in the gazebo swing or enjoy the picnic table under the walnut tree. Hopefully, the next time you come you can stay longer and fully enjoy what we have to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back.

- Anne Peecook (Innkeeper)

We had a wonderful time at the Lovill House Inn. To stay in a B & B and have the opportunity to meet other and converse with other guests makes the experience very memorable. Our hosts did a spectacular job of making our stay enjoyable. I'm anxious to spend time there again soon. David Blakeslee

Stayed two night in the lenoir room. It was very clean and comfortable but a little noisy due to the fact of the house being in close proximity to the highway but nothing that kept me awake at night. Breakfast was good but a little regimented, at 0830 the bell rings and you better be their. All in all it was a nice stay and we'd recomend it.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our several stays at this wonderful Home away from Home. Scott and Anne go out of their way to assure the stay is one to remember. The food is GREAT, the beds are wonderful, and the feeling you are with people who care and enjoy the good things in life says it all. Our son stayed with us the first trip and really enjoyed it. Our daughter is a student at ASU so we feel like we are at home while visiting her. We can hardly wait for our next visit. Do yourself a favor and stay with our friends Scott and Anne. Relax and enjoy our little secret. Steve and Beth Thrower, Morehead City N.C.

My fiance' and I stayed here midway through my R&R from Afghanistan. I've stayed with Scott and Anne before, but it was Dawn's first time. As always, from the first contact to make reservations, to the drive through the Blue Ridge area, to the wonderful "presentation" of the home as we pulled into the parking area, to Scott's warm and insightful tour of the home, to the clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms, to Anne's amazingly tasty breakfast cooking ... I could go on for a long time, but suffice it to say that the Lovill House Inn - not to mention the gracious Innkeepers - is worth whatever detour you need to take in order to get there. But it can't be called much of a detour when you consider the locale! Boone is in the heart of some of the very best destinations that the Blue Ridge Parkway has to offer. Lovill House Inn is, and will continue to be, a destination unto itself for me whenever I plan a vacation or need to just get away for a few days.

We have been coming to the Lovill House Inn for 12 years and I plan to come back every year as long as we can. The Inn is great and the Innkeepers are super. We love the rooms and have stayed in them all. We try to rotate and spend equal time per room. Everything is always clean and neat and they always provide that little extra touch that most B&B's don"t. The flowers were especially beautiful on the grounds this fall. They always manage to find your room too. Fresh flowers are perfect and add that touch you never expect. Food is flawless and I am glad we don't live close or I would be packing on the pounds. Always a great selection and here again, if special needs are requested, they are met. We personally love it all! Don't miss a chance to stay here and enjoy the beauty and the great Inn. We miss you already and can't wait to book our next stay. Thanks

The Lovill House Inn provided us a very cozy quaint home base for our six day vacation within the mountains of western North Carolina where we could return each afternoon for relaxation, sipping wine and planning our activity for the next day. Each new day's morning breakfast was extraordinary, offering a unique new menu carefully crafted to ensure variety throughout the entire week. We particularly enjoyed the pleasure of spending our nights in the sping house cottage where we could enjoy our early morning solitude and coffee. Scott and Anne's wonderful personnalities and interaction with their guests are the signature that wraps the entire package into a perfect experience. If you plan to stay in the Boone area give yourself the gift of staying at the Lovill House Inn.

We arrived Friday evening around 6 pm to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. The owner gave us the name of a good restaurant, Char's, where we began our celebration. And of course, we topped off our meal with ice cream at Custard Depot! Delish! Saturday morning we ate a delicious meal and let our food settle while rocking in the chairs out on the wrap around front porch. Then we took a picnic and did a 3 mile hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway. After our nap back at the B&B, we went to The Red Onion for dinner and had more ice cream over at Scoops! Anybody see a common theme here? Sunday morning was rainy, but our breakfast was wonderful and then we went into town to do some last minute shopping. We really enjoyed our stay at the Lovill House Inn. Scott and Anne are wonderful hosts!

We spent a long weekend In Boone, N.C. recently at the Loville House Inn. We couldn't ask for a warmer greeting from our Host and Hostess. They were available at all times to help us in every way. Although we thought we would be in the country, this inn is actually on the edge of town, tucked back on a side street. Very convenient . We enjoyed eating at the big tables with all the other guests in the mornings, but would enjoy some flexiblility on the time. 8:30 is early on a rainy Saturday morning. Our room had a wood burning fireplace and a sofa. So cozy. Our mattress on the otherhand could use an upgrade. Not really bad, but not a pillow top . New pillows, maybe a few down pillows, would have been welcome. There is no airconditioning, but every room has a powerful little window fan, and a ceiling fan. We were comfortable, but wondered about the people in the upstairs rooms. We would probably return ...when the mattresses are upgraded. Boone is a great little college town and so close to so many other attractions in the Western N.C. mountains.

Even though this is a favorite room of guests and we have had many compliments on the bed of late, we appreciate your concerns and have taken action to improve the sleep experience in the room.

- Scott Peecook (Innkeeper)

Hosts were welcoming and thorough about explaining the Inn. Plenty of information available about the surrounding area. Very hospitable about drinks etc from fridge. Room was a good size and very comfortable. Parking was by side of the Inn and off road so no problems. Breakfast was tasty and service was cheerful and friendly. Would strongly recommend a stay in the Lovill House Inn.

My wife and I had never stayed in a B&B before but wanted to to escape the NC coastal heat and do something special for her 52 birthday. I did some internet research into the Boone, NC area nd came up with the Lovill House as my choice. I could not have been more right. Scott and Anne were the best ! We felt as if we were family back in town for a reunion. We could not have felt more at home in their beautiful inn. It was as if we were in our own own home with full run of the house and nothing to do but enjoy. What a lovely porch, breakfasts were perfectly prepared bt Anne and Scott saw to our every need. The room, house and grounds were absolutely spotless and beautiful, evenb fired up the gas fireplace a few times! We will definitely stay again when in the Boone area. Never had a better time or nicer place to stay and I have been to many 5 star big name hotels. And I got lots of points with the wife for a great birthday choice !! Don't miss this great home. We're now sold on the B&B experience. Thank you so much !

Scott and Anne were great and the Inn was beautiful. The breakfasts were awesome and the innkeepers were very helpful with suggestions of where to eat and things to do.

We just spent four days at the Lovill House Inn B & B. Although we have been staying at B & B's for many years, this one ranks among the very best. Anne & Scott made every effort to make our stay memorable, and they succeeded beyond our expectations. The Boone-Blowing Rock area has much to offer, but if you are looking for quiet and solitude, you can find that, as well. We have reservations for a fall leaves visit, and can't wait.

From the moment we drove into the flower lined driveway we felt at home. The Lovell House owners were right there and went to work making us feel welcome. It was comfortable, clean convenient and just what we needed. Thanks to Scott and Ann for the perfect stay. Next time it will be a longer stay.

Could not have been more pleased. Our plan was to use Lovill House as a center from which to "tour" around the mountains during the week. However, we found the Innkeepers, the Inn & staff, and its grounds so delightful that we seldom left its confines. As honeymooners, we enjoyed the warm, yet unobtrusive, hospitality, the always available assistance (I locked us out of the cabin late one evening), the to-die-for breakfasts, the overall beauty of the Inn and its people, its proximity to every restaurant and place we did visit, mingling with the other guests; it just couldn't have been any better. Our desire is to return again and again. The Peecooks are new freinds. Ted & Jan

We stayed in the cottage, and it was very pleasant. The innkeepers were always available and very good at assisting us in whatever our plans were for the day. We found the furnishings comfortable. In fact, I wrote about the inn in my blog after the trip. http://riverwalkpics.blogspot.com/2010/07/butterflies-bees-bears-and-birds-at.html The scenery and nature are what we went to Boone for, but we received much more with the very comfortable accommodations. In fact, we didn't have to travel far for nature with the magnificent gardens right outside the cottage door where there were numerous butterflies and songbirds every day. Very nice place to spend our anniversary. David and Elizabeth

My stay here for two days was perfect. This inn is very well kempt and tended to. The rooms are well apportioned and CLEAN. The grounds are beautiful and that big old porch! The innkeepers Scott and Anne are exactly the kind of hosts one thinks of when considering a great B&B experience. They are charming, informative and see to it that your stay is a memorable one. Just what the doctor ordered.

The Innkeeper(s) were awesome!

We have stayed here now several times. When going to the Boone area we automatically book at the Lovill House. There is no reason to go elsewhere, a beautifull house,great breakfasts, all your needs taken care of. However, the the best reason is Scott and Anne, you couldn't find more accomodating hosts. Thank you, John and Nancy Carnegie, Wilmington, N.C.

Good location, lovely room, great breakfast. But what really sets this B & B apart are Scott and Anne. They are the quintessential innkeepers. They are warm, friendly, and amazingly hospitable with so many really nice touches to make your stay exceptional.

It was our anniversary so on a whim we decided to treat ourselves to a B & B in place of the chain hotels we usually frequent. We could not have been more delighted! The room was lovely with attention to every detail. Breakfast was scrumptious. The grounds were gorgeous, with the wraparound porch overlooking flower beds, a waterfall and with several other places to sit and simply contemplate the goodness of God. It was evident that the innkeepers, Scott and Anne Peecook intended for each guest to feel like a cherished family member...which is exactly how we felt. We strongly recommend the Lovill House Inn for anyone traveling in the Boone area. Maybe you will even see us there......... we definitely plan to visit again.

Our experience at the Lovill House Inn was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We were immediately made to feel at home there, and were welcomed warmly by the innkeepers. Our room was inviting and cozy. We also enjoyed the beautiful gardens and surrounding property with the nice little touches like a gazebo swing, a hammock, and rocking chairs on the porch. Scott and Anne Peecook were so kind and welcoming and really helped to make the entire experience perfect.

My husband and I arrived on a cold, snowy night to a warm welcome into a beautiful, comfortable room, all amenities, and awoke to a delicious breakfast with good conversation. We can't wait for our next opportunity to visit Lovill House Inn.

Scott and Anne have a wonderful bed and breakfast! We were pleasantly surprised with the service and the cleanliness of the rooms. Scott and Anne are a pleasure to be around. They made the inn feel like a home away from home and we look forward to another trip to visit them next year. Semper Fidelis!

My husband & I had the pleasure of staying at the Lovell House Inn while traveling to West Virginia and along the way, this lovely B&B is tucked away in a quaint and semi-private manner. We found it to be peaceful and warm, relaxing enough to feel like home! What a lovely place to get away from it all! Scott & Anne were gracious inn keepers that made us feel welcome while allowing us our privacy. I highly recommend that you stay at the Lovell House Inn on your next adventure. You will be glad you did! The Buckners S.C.

We booked the Lovill House Inn as we were tired of the cold atmosphere of the typical hotel. We were visiting our son at Appalachian State for the weekend. The Lovill House Inn was very nice. The innkeeper, Scott Peecock, was welcoming and gave a thorough tour of the house. It was warm and inviting. The room in which we were staying was large with a separate bath, and a gas fireplace; a beautiful feature. The house was very quiet for our entire stay. The only complaint was the bed was a little too soft and we both had somewhat of a backache when we returned home. We would have also preferred a king size bed, but the rooms with the king beds were not available. We would return to the Lovill House Inn for another visit.

I've been meaning to write this review for a year - my husband and I went to Lovill House for our honeymoon in October 2008, and it was just perfect. Scott and Anne can give recommendations and exact directions for whatever your heart desires - including, for us, the perfect 5-mile scenic hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway and "the best way to see the 'face' of Grandfather Mountain." We highly recommend their "stress reduction package" with massage. The rooms (we stayed in Lenoir) are old-fashioned, lovely and romantic but with every comfort; the gardens are gorgeous, breakfast was delicious and friendly, the whole feel is elegant without being stuffy. We really liked that Anne and Scott have their own separate "quarters" so it feels less like walking in on someone's home than a typical B & B does. Just perfect. You'll love it. - Rachel and Kevin

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway South I had a absolutely pleasant stay. The room was cosy, the open fireplace helped a lot with autumn in the mountains. Breakfast was varying every day and a great experience.

An absolutely lovely place to stay -- fantastic innkeepers, delicious food and very comfortable accommodations. Can't wait to return.

A welcoming home conveniently located in Boone NC. Hosts scott & anne were warm & thoughtful. The house is immaculately kept & the gardens a delight. Food was delicious. A great retreat from life's bustle!

Innkeepers provide classy service and environment. Beautiful setting and facility. Hosts are outstanding. Well worth checking out this B&B.

large, well-appointed, quiet rooms. Large breakfasts. Very kind proprietors, flower-beds and a waterfall on property. Highly recommend

Excellent in every way. Perfect place for a get away from your cares and worries. Lovely setting. Delicious breakfast. Outstanding hospitality by the innkeepers. We certainly plan a return visit. Steve and Rhonda, Greenville, SC

We stayed at the Lovill House Inn for two nights in August 2009. Perfect location in Boone, NC. The room we occupied was called "The Spring House" which is a small cottage behind the house. It was lovely! Very CLEAN and cozy. The grounds are covered with flowers and the front porch of the house was delightful to sit on every morning while drinking coffee waiting for the fabulous breakfast that the Innkeepers prepare each morning. They do a wonderful job making you feel welcome and special. Can't wait to return! Thank you Scott and Anne!

The bedrooms are comfortable, and the common areas are very appealing. The innkeepers graciously provide whatever is needed. Breakfast is wonderful.

Great!!

Rooms and bathrooms are wonderful. The breakfast is always very good. You are well taken care of at the Lovill House.

Lovill House is owned and operated by a couple who is meticulous in all aspects of running a B&B from the details of appearance, to creating the "down home" feeling one would expect from a Southern B&B experience. It is tastefully decorated keeping the elegant historic look and feel combined with upgraded and modern accommodations. Location in a serene setting set back from the main highway creates a perfect venue to enjoy a quiet evening on the expansive wrap around deck with a glass of provided wine; or a cup of coffee provided in hot mugs in the early morning. Breakfast featured unique culinary tastes that presented traditional breakfast foods in new and different dishes! Would highly recommend and we hope to visit again in the near future.

Lovill House was delightful. The location was close to a major road and suffered from traffic noise, but the room was good and grounds were spectacular. The innkeepers were very efficient and attentive. Midway through our stay, my wife had a short hospital stay, and the innkeepers were very concerned and helped us in every way. I would recommend the Lovill House to anyone who wants to stay in Boone.

our hosts, Scott and Ann, saw to every need. Very helpful in planning our days. We felt like we were leaving 'family' when we started home. Their home was our home that week!

We discovered Lovill House Inn when we came to Boone with our daughter to look at Appalachian State in March 2009. She fell in love with the college and Boone and our family truly enjoyed the hospitality provided by Scott and Anne. The Inn is lovely, relaxing, and welcoming. The rooms are charming and the breakfasts are wonderful. It is very convenient to the campus. Our daughter has decided to attend Appalachian and we returned to Lovill House to stay in June 2009 during new student and parent orientation. My husband and I have already made our reservations at Lovill House Inn for parent's weekend in September. We highly recommend it to other Appalachian parents.

Ann and Scott provided a great atmosphere at the inn. The home is beautiful, the food was great, and the service unsurpassed. I would recommend the Lovill House to anyone!

Even the excellent website didn't do it justice!! The impeccable grounds were only matched by the top notch accomodations and our wonderful innkeepers Scott and Anne Peacock!! The food was skilllfully prepared, the social hours provided memories for a lifetime. Even nature was conspiring for us--Margie and I were visited by a young fawn as we sat in the gazebo. What a way to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary!!--Tom and Margie Reilly

Scott and Anne were amazing. they were very professional and they shared warmth and hospitality. We definitely plan to return!

Anne and Scott made our gathering of family and friends for Merlefest a perfect reunion. Every detail, including several dietary restrictions and the need for a massage was accomodated with grace and ease. We look forward to another visit to Lovill House Inn and appreciate the warmth and welcome extended by our hosts. The location is beautiful and the accomodations well appointed. Thanks again for providing a wonderful setting for our gathering! Susan and Dave North Wales, PA

Spent two nights here recently. A beautiful property. Room, "The Bristol," was roomy, comfortable and well-appointed. Innkeepers demonstrated concern for guests' comfort and were quick to respond to requests. Innkeepers fully knowledgeable about Boone area and helpful with suggestions for day trips. Breakfasts were generous and included meats, eggs, breads and fruits. Coffee available 30 minutes before breakfast served at 8:30. Recommend this property highly.

The inn was comfortable and extremely clean. It met all of our needs. our hosts were friendly and extremely helpful in helping us plan our stay in Boone.

My wife and I spent 4 days and 3 nights enjoying the hospitality and family atmosphere at Lovill House. Scott and Ann bent over backwards to make sure we were happy and to make us feel at home. From a cozy fire to heart shapped pancakes, life was well above normal for a few precious days. We will definitly stay there again.

We stayed at a little cottage behind the main house. Beautiful, homey, and warm. Innkeeper was very friendly and hospitable. Amazing breakfast. Great location. Definitely going back!

comfortable accommodations, with gracious hosts. will definitely return.

great service, good food, excellent overall!

One of the nicest B&B's I have stayed in. Beautifully maintained, both inside and out. Very quiet. Owners, Scott and Anne are very attentive to our needs and requests. Great romantic getaway!

Beautiful site, warm home and delightful innkeepers. highly recommended!

We spent 3 days and 2 nights at the Lovill House Inn. Not only was the inn was of the most well kept inns we've ever stayed at, but the innkeepers really exceed all expectations. The breakfast was out of this world and always plenty served. We loved the old buildings on the grounds and especially the waterfall. We will be back!

Ann and Scott have such a wonderful and gracious attitude and give 110% to make sure you are comfortable and full of good, southern cooking. 5 star atmosphere!

Our trip to the Lovill House Inn was a wonderful gift. We had a nice stay, met some really nice couples, and thorougly enjoyed ourselves. We hope to go back again sometime.

This bed and breakfast was perfect for my long business days. Scott and Anne were able to accomodate my breakfast time so I could be at work by 8:30 a.m. I was able to use the Inn to do my email in my room and also in the living room and dining room in the evenings. I felt at home when doing my work in the evenings. A change of pace from the ususal hotels. I would recommend any business travler to stay at this inn for a good night sleep and a place to work from in the evenings.

Our stay at the Lovill House Inn was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were very cozy and the grounds were gorgeous. The innkeepers, Scott and Ann, made us feel right at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice, relaxing place to stay, while visiting this beautiful area! Turns out my boyfriend found it was just the right place to propose!

My husband and I have celebrated several wedding anniversaries here! We love the Brsitol room with the wood fireplace! The inn keepers are fabulous and professional. The food is delicious and they always recommend great area restraunts! App. football is fun to watch too - even though we're Furman fans! We'll go again! Oh and the coffee is awesome!

Ann and Scott are wonderful hosts. Always willing to help with local information. The home is a lovely old home. Spotless. Rome are large and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was grrrreat!!

Room, house, hosts above average. Breakfast standard.

very gracious hosts, relaxing, enjoyable, delicious breakfast, beautiful property.

beautiful home, outstanding breakfast every morning. definitely go back

owners are friendly and accommodating.

very clean, warm, friendly hosts, great breakfast, excellent local tips

wonderful, relaxing weekend. Attention to detail. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. knowledgeable of area and activities. Towels smelled great!

We stayed on the recommendation of people we met on the Blue Ridge parkway and were certainly not disappointed. Anne and Scott give a great welcome, the house is comfortable and spotless and the food was good too! If we pass this way again we'll make sure we book ahead. Flora Lee & Tony, UK

We stayed at the Lovill House Inn for a family weekend birthday celebration and had a fantastic time! The inn with its beautifully landscaped flowers and gardens, the alluring wrap-around porch with its country rockers and the warm and inviting interior helped set the tone for a casual, relaxing atmosphere. Scott and Anne were wonderful hosts who were attentive to all our needs and provided little 'extras' like turn down bed service and fresh flowers in the room. The breakfasts were well presented, varied, tasty, and delicious. They treated us like 'family' and we definitely will return again when we want to celebrate a special occasion or just want to get away to relax, recharge, and renew ourselves. Loved the Lovill and loved Scott and Anne!

The first time we visited Anne and Scott at the Lovill House Inn, we thought we had found heaven – the warmth, friendliness, hospitality, and comfortable surroundings! But of course, first impressions can fool you. The second time we visited them, our first impressions were confirmed. What an outstanding location – what an outstanding host and hostess! Anne and Scott will make you forget what you’re escaping from. If you want solitude – they will let you have it. If you want to know “what’s happening,” they have all the answers. I’m sure everyone says they treat you like family. No, they treat you better than family – all the warmth and love without the dysfunctionality! Anne and Scott know how to make you feel welcome. When you stay at Lovill House, you’re not staying at a B&B – you’re visiting Anne and Scott, and they will go out of their way to make you feel like part of the family.

We regularly stay in B&B's in our travels throughout our travels in the US and Europe, and spots like the Lovill House Inn are what we always hope to find. The innkeepers are friendly and attentive to your needs. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. There is great attention to detail, from adequate lighting throughout the inn to free beverages, including wines. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. Your rooms are aired out while you are away enjoying all that the mountains in the Boone/Blowing Rock area has to offer. You will also appreciate Anne's delicious breakfasts. We visit at least once a year and are always welcomed like long time friends. We are certain your stay will be will be a wonderful experience if it's in the innkeepers' power. Gene and Sandy

Our stay at the Lovill House Inn was remarkable. Scott and Anne took us in even though we showed up on their doors step late in the evening without a reservation. And, thanks to Anne noticing our arrival we descovered this "gem" of a Bed and Breakfast in Boone, NC. We can't wait to go back...this was our best experience staying at a B&B due to the warm and genuine hospitality provided by Scott and Anne.

Scott & Anne were so kind! They went out of their way to make accomodations for our large group and made us feel very much at home. We cannot wait to go back!

This was our second stay with Scott and Ann and will not be our last. We began many wonderful memories there and now we have returned as a part of our honeymoon. They are wonderful people and Inn Keepers. Cindy and I would reccommend them to anyone who would love to feel like they were welcomed and genuinely cared for. You would be hard pressed to find a place like this one.

We have had the pleasure of staying at the Lovill House for the past Three Years in a row now. I cannot begin to explain how Beautiful the Inn is or how much we Treasure Scott and Anne. They are the reason that we continue to visit year after year. I have already made our reservations for 2008. They really make you feel welcome, comfortable, and very special. I would recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone and everyone. The location is perfect, It is a vacation in itself just to stay at what we like to consider our "Home away from Home".
