Pilot Knob Inn Bed & Breakfast

This was our second visit to the inn. We first visited 2 years ago. I love the tobacco barn cabins. It's a great escape from the hustle of everyday life. Very peaceful and romantic not to mention the fantastic breakfast! Jennifer and Kathy are very welcoming. Can't wait to return!!

We had a wonderful time at "The Love Shack " log cabin this past Thurs night. It was so cozy and comfortable, cheesecake & cider just perfect... breakfast out of this world! All homemade and delicious. Even their dog was so friendly- is he a dingo/Australian shepard ? My husband thought he was "fake" because he was so perfect ... just like everything else at your place.We will definitely be back. We hope to be back soon ! Dawn & Ron of Hooksett NH

My partner decided after 2yrs it was time to exchange rings. We had to plan this at Pilot Knob Inn. Jennifer and Kathy were great in helping us plan. Most of it was a surprise, and Jennifer was such a big help, from flowers to letting us check in early. Was the most wonderful weekend! We have been going to Pilot Knob for a year now, and just can't even imagine staying anywhere else. It has become our home away from home.

Sit on the porch and rock, sleep on the brown leather sofa, soak in the jacuzzi, take a swim in the pool, take a hike in the woods, eat, repeat. 3 days was not enough....neither would 4. Soooo glad we found you.

My husband totally surprised me and we had a great time. The cabins, ground and pool were delightful. We fished and caught several panfish and bass in the pond. We saw deer run across the property. The breakfast was wonderful and included waffles, omlets, ham, bacon, sausage, muffins, all sorts of preserves and your choice of orange juice, apple juice, tea, milk, or coffee...I think I missed one. LOL. I would definitely love to go again.

Penthouse Suite is wonderful. It is large and relaxing with a full wall of windows, floor to ceiling, that look out to the knob of Pilot Mountain. The hottub in the living room was great, but the chlorine fumes were a little overwhelming...but we fixed that by opening all the upper windows and it didn't get cold because of the beautiful gas log fireplace heating it. This trip was for our 20th anniversary and we will be back!!! The breakfast was worth the cost of the trip alone...the hospitality was terrific. STAY here and you will be absolutely pleased. Thank you Pilot Knob Inn for giving us a quiet wonderful place to escape to...on 2/15-17, 2012 and for the future!!

We had a great anniversary weekend. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We arrived Friday evening in the dark, which was a little scary because it is truly in the woods. We stayed in the SW cabin and it was wonderful. The next morning is when we really were able to appreciate the beauty of the property and the area in general. We also went to a nearby park to hike and see waterfalls. It was a really enjoyable weekend. The cabins/suites were very private and romantic. We definately plan to return!

We spent our wedding night in the Pilot Knob Inn 6 years ago, and have always wanted to come back and stay in one of the cabins. We finally did it for our 6th anniversary and it was great. We stayed in cabin #2 for Friday/Saturday nights and it was rustic, but charming and romantic. The cabin was clean and private and Jennifer and Kathy were great at attending to us at breakfast each morning. The breakfast is outstanding and their service is extraordinary. I highly recommend a stay at the Pilot Knob Inn, and I know we will definitely try to come back before another six years passes. Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend.

We just returned from a 3 nt stay at the Pilot Knot Inn. We stayed in Cabin #1. It was just what we were looking for and generally met our expectations. We found it attractive because it's rustic, nicely located, yet offer convenient ammenities inside. The service was outstanding. We were well-taken care of and given lots of privacy. Kathy and Jennifer simply couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. They make you feel right at home. Here are my (hopefully helpful) suggestions to the owners: (1) place screens in the upstairs bedroom windows to get airflow w/out having to run the air conditioning. (2) place a satellite or cabled-enabled TV in the living room (only the bedroom had this and the mainfloor TV could only play VHS tapes) (3) place hangars in the bedroom armoire - we saw the spindles inside but there really weren't enough (4) fix the bathroom tile since there were several areas of tile in the bathroom that were noticeably loose (5) place a latch or lock on the front screen door - it really didn't latch so we had to keep the large front door closed to keep out the insects and this further inhibited airflow. (5) air out the cabin before incoming guests arrive - the previous occupant had obviously burned firewood in the fireplace shortly before our arrival and the cabin needed airing out very badly! It also smelled a little musty (6) place something on the stairs separating the main floor and bedroom with slip resistent material to avoid potential hazards. You have to hold onto the hand rail tightly and walk slowly to ensure you don't fall - especially while wearing your socks. (7) place a least 1 hassock in the bedroom to making sitting in the chairs more comfortable. Overall - a great stay. The breakfast is awesome and Jennifer & Kathy make you feel so welcome. Getting to meet their family pets Jean, Douglas, and Trooper really made for a fun time!

Wonnderful place, wonderful retreat. Stayed in Cabin #3 and had a great mini vacation.

We stayed in Cabin#1 7-8-11 thru 7-10-11. We had a great time. From the time we arrived to the time we HAD to leave......it was fantastic. It is so peaceful there. The cabin was great. The service was great. The breakfast was fast and out of this world. I took my sweetie up for the weekend just to get away and that's what we did. No agendas....just relaxation. We loved sitting on the front porch and talking. We hiked along some of the trails and saw no one else. There were people there but you did not see them until maybe at breakfast. It was so peaceful. The weekend was everything and more than we were expecting. Thanks for a great getaway weekend! We will be back. Donnie & Cindy

My wife and I made a trip down to Winston Salem to view the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (potential job for my wife) and we made reservations to stay at the Pilot Knob Inn....All I can say is that this place is as close to Heaven as you can possibly get without being there! We stayed in the Heavenly Hideaway Suite and it was perfect. The name says it all....because it was truly Heavenly! We ate dinner at Soppers which was amazing and then in the morning, the breakfast was incredible! This place takes Southern Hospitality to the extreme....and that's not a bad thing! It was a wonderful getaway for my wife and I. We HIGHLY recommend it and will definitely be back!

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Pilot Knob Inn and we had a wonderful time! The staff, Jen, Will and Kathy could not have been more accommodating and friendly - they are extremely attentive! The location is wonderful to visit many interesting sites and beautiful scenery. The cabins are adorable and very comfortable - will look forward to visiting in the cooler weather to use the lovely fireplace. Breakfast is great, with many choices - and very fast! Thanks for a great vacation - PS: Brought our dog which is so great to be able to do!

Greatest time I have had this year. Listening to the rain hit the tin roof of the cabin reminded me of when I was a kid growing up. Man what a great time fishing and hiking. This was really a relaxing time.

This is a beautiful property and beautiful people run it. Our stay there was perfect. The room was very clean and gorgeous. The breakfast was amazing! Kathy really knows how to cook and is just a sweet person. Jennifer is an amazing innkeeper and just so friendly and helpful. If you want a truly peaceful and restful retreat in a beautiful rustic setting, go. Even if you don't, go. You will not be disappointed. I will be back.

Pilot Knob Inn is a breathtaking getaway hidden in our beautiful North Carolina mountains. A wonderful getaway for my husband and I. We love spending our anniversaries there. The cabins are unbelievable. They are so romantic. The lake is peace and quiet mixed with the beauty of nature. The staff is so friendly its like visiting with old friends. You know they are there if you need anything, but they will not intrude on your privacy. The breakfast room is terrific. Specktacular view and country feel inside with fresh flowers and warm sunshine. Jen and Kathy have everything for breakfast you would ever want. Thank you for the special memories that my husband and I share everytime we stay. We are looking forward to working our way through each of the cozy cabins. PEACE-BEAUTY-ROMANCE!!!!! The Potts from Stokesdale, NC

Spent a wonderful night in cabin # 4 and couldn't have been more pleased! Wonderful fire, wonderful jacuzzi, great private porch out front and back deck off the bedroom, huge comfy bed, and tasty breakfast. Very romantic & cozy if you appreciate a genuine rustic setting. Jennifer & family were responsive & friendly - real southern hospitality! Convenient to nice hiking at Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock, plus things to do and places to eat in Mt. Airy. Excellent value. We'll be returning! Scott - Greensboro, NC

This is an awesome vacation spot if you enjoy mountain view in a camp type atmosphere without all the work of camping. Thanks so much to the staff for making out honeymoon so relaxing.

An outstanding weekend at the Pilot Knob Inn. Will and Jennifer are great people. The lady who cooked our breakfast was the best. Great food. We will be back. Brent & Amy

My wife and I celebrated our 5th anniversary at this wonderful B&B . This was our second time staying here and it did not disappoint.We had a great time and great breakfast. The service was great and the room and view even better. We are planning our next trip now. Don't pass this place up.

I was at work and I decided to take a trip to the beach. Well my wife reminded me that we had never went on our honeymoon. So, she sent me this B and B through my e-mail. I did not want to spend that kind of money on a weekend trip but man was I surprised when I arrived. We have never stayed at a B and B before and needless to say, it was underpriced for the hospitality and the feel of the place. They dotted all their i's and crossed all their t's. We didn't lack anything. I highley recomend this B and B for your honeymoon or just a romantic weekend get away. Thanks Michael and Kim

The setting at Pilot Knob Inn was very relaxing. Everyone we spoke to there was very nice. Unfortunately I'm not a morning person, so we didn't get any breakfast. We did have a slice of cake, which was very tasty. We loved the room! It was so nice to be able to just relax at this place! I would recomend the Inn. We will return when we get a chance!

We stayed at the Pilot Knob Inn for a business trip and getaway combined. What a wonderful, "lost in the forest" site this is. It was so quiet and so very different than any place we have been that it quickly became our favorite! The breakfast was so good and prepared by Kathy to order! I have some food sensitivities and she made me feel like I wasn't a big pain. Thegrounds were wonderfull natural with Pilot Knob practically in the cabin! I couldn't believe the nice photos I got. We will be back again! Linda and Larry Biggs Sugarcreek, Ohio

Beautiful property, awesome breakfast, an overall wonderful experience, no complaints. Will definately visit again.

This was a very nice cabin. The pictures do NOT do it justice. The breakfast was out of this world! Brent and Donna

A week in the cabin was an oasis from the noise and confusion of our day-to-day technology-laden life. It was sheer pleasure to walk out on the front porch in the silence of the woods and hear nothing but the wind or a squirrel scampering by in the leaves. Building a fire in the fireplace was a comforting and hypnotic daily ritual. There is a sense of accomplishment in contructing the perfect blaze, and a oneness with the world as you stare at the everchanging flames. Will and Jennifer's inn gives you total privacy with a warm, friendly presence just around the corner so that you never feel alone. Kathy served up delicious breakfasts with her local wisdom and good humor. She is a treasure and a delight! We are already planning our next visit (4th year in a row). Thanks to all of you at Pilot Knob Inn and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I planned this trip as a birthday present for my significant other. It exceeded our expectations.

This was our second "Christmas" at Pilot Knob Inn and we will almost certainly be back! The cabins are a great way to get away from the world and reconnect with each other for a few days.

Love Pilot Knob Inn - everything was wonderful & we had a great time!

Tim & I really enjoyed our weekend at Pilot Knob. We felt like we were in another world. We will definitley be back soon.

Didn't know what to expect. Beautiful inside, and great friendly Innkeeper and chef.

We stayed in Cabin 1 for my fiance's birthday and we really enjoyed it. The cabin has a wood fireplace and a nice jacuzzi tub. The staff was very nice and the full breakfast was delicious (belgian waffles, eggs, sausage, grits, fruit, yogurt, etc). We would definitely recommend it and visit it again.

The room was excellent and as much as we could ask for. The food and service was great! This is our second time there and it was better than the first! Lots of things to do near by including just about any type of food you can imagine for a dinner.

We made our annual trip to Pilot Knob for time for ourselves and as always we were pleased with our stay. It is the perfect place for couples to go to spend time alone and relax and enjoy each other. The cabins allows for privacy. Our hostess and staff are always so very pleasant, polite, smiling and helpful. We look forward to our next stay.

Spent a wonderful night in the Love Shack - second time in that cabin. Great cabin, great service and completely relaxing. I would recommend to anyone

The cabins are cozy, clean and private. Jacuzzi tubs may be a bit tight for two people, but certainly relaxing. Innkeepers are very nice and responsive to your needs. NC taxes and fees are high, so keep in that in mind when calculating your total cost. There is no question that I will return soon!!

We were thrilled with our stay in one of the tobacco barn cabins. We had nice hikes in the woods and came back to enjoy a fire in our real wood burning fireplace. If you want rustic but without truly roughing it, this is the place. A wonderful breakfast was served each morning in the lovely breakfast room and everyone made us feel as though we've known them forever. We will be back for a longer stay next time. There is a stable available so think about bringing your horse too! It is a beautiful area to ride.

Could not have asked for a more perfect place to spend a romantic weekend!

The picture to our cabin was misleading. It is not standing alone as pictured. It is connected to another building and is in very close proximity to foot traffic for guests going to their rooms. It should be noted in the details so that guests are not surprised.

We spent our first anniversary here and it was an outstanding weekend. Jenn is a wonderful host. We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect little hidden treasure at the base of a beautiful mountain. We stayed in the Yadkin Valley Honeymoon Cabin, and everything was just outstanding! From the sparkling cider and truffles waiting when we arrived to the luxury of an extra hour at checkout time, our expectations were exceeded. The hot tub was delightful, and the bed was so comfy it was hard to get up for breakfast. But breakfast was certainly worth it, yum! We will definitely be back.

When my husband and I opened the doors to Castle Suite 11, we stood with mouths agape. It was one of the must elegant, luxurious rooms we have ever stayed in. The rich dark paneling on the walls contrasted beautifully with the white floor-to-ceiling bookcases. The entire room was decorated with some of the most highly-detailed, unique antiques. The room even featured a jacuzzi tub easily large enough for two, and our own private sauna! I could have laid on the comfortable sofa or the embroaidered setee for days just reading. There is also a large private balcony overlooking the woods. Breakfast was delicious--we just had too many choices! The owner and chef were a wonderful team in making sure no one left hungry. We are looking forward to our return!

Room and service were great. Breakfast the best I've ever had. Just a little on the expensive side for my tastes. But would come back again.

Wonderfull experience. Great cabin with a beautiful view of the mountain. excellent customer service by the owner and staff. We will return again soon.

My sister and I stayed one night and truly enjoyed all of the hospitality/great breakfast and home like atmostphere. We grew up in the Mts of NC and this was a treat.

10/28/10 - We stayed in the "Best View" Cabin at Pilot Knob Inn and it was wonderful!!! The cabin and view were fantastic!!! This was our first time and we intend to make it a yearly tradition. The breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly. A wonderful, relaxing experience.

I desperately needed an escape from my crazy life and I found it at Pilot Knob Inn. I had been searching for a cabin the woods and I stayed in the one pictured on the website. I had my own fireplace and front porch with rockers. The setting is beautiful wooded with a wonderful view of Pilot Mountain from my front porch. I would highly recommend this inn and I plan to come back.

We only got to spend one night at the inn but you can bet next time it will be much longer. It's the perfect getaway - peaceful, relaxing, great food and conversation. We were in cabin #4. My husband and I can't wait to return!

We stayed in one of the tobacco barns, which was quaint but rustic. When visiting a B&B my wife notices attention to detail, which was lacking; the sink had no stopper, the soap dispenser was empty, the TP roll low. Simple things, but important to her. There's a lot of road noise since its close to the highway, but the thick log walls do a pretty good job of stopping it if you don't need a window open. The window air conditioner filter was filthy, and I cleaned it out in the sink. We rowed around the lake in the flat-bottom boat, and had to temper our excursion by the speed the boat was leaking and filling up the bottom (we made it before our feet got wet). Breakfast was good and the cook friendly; overall not quite the value we expected.

This was a 5th wedding anniversary getaway for us and this was a great place to celebrate. We stayed in the Southwest Honeymoon Suite. All of our hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. With all due respect to the two legged hosts, I have to give special praise to Trooper who showed us all the best hiking trails. He was a bit reluctant to stay in sight while hiding his bone again but I am sure he felt confident we could find our way down that section of the trail. The location puts quiet romantic walks, a visit to Mt. Airy("Mayberry"), Pilot Mountain State park, Hanging Rock State park, and the Ydkin Valley Vineyards within easy reach.

We wanted a different kind of getaway for our 32nd anniversary and we were not disappointed. This was a great combination of creature comforts, rustic accomodations, and friendly staff. We had a most enjoyable experience.

My husband & I stayed in the Castle Room for our Honeymoon and this was exactly the setting for our honeymoon i imagined! It was nothing short of perfection. The room was great and the people were very pleasant! We will definitely be back every year! This was certainly a memorable experience. Thank you so much for everything! :)

We stayed in a cabin which was great. The food and service at breakfast was outstanding. Our only complaint was that we had several questions about the Inn, attractions, etc. but the office was not staffed when we were there. We could contact someone by phone, but we prefer face-to-face discussions. Regardless, we highly recommend Pilot Knob Inn and we will certainly go back again.

what a charming and romantic place!! the breakfast was fab!! i have already recommended this place.

My girlfriend at the time took me there for my birthday, we stayed May 10 of 2008, the first cabin on the right as soon as u pull in, as soon as we got there was a deer right beside the cabin so we sat there in the car for about 5mins wathching, we go in the cabin and i was overwelmed by how nice the cabin was,it sure was nice being there we built a fire and got in the hottub it was the best birthday gift ever! Marvin Hall

We celebrated our 18th anniversary at the Pine Knob Inn and were completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The staff took good care of us and we hated to leave after just one night. I would recommend this get away to my best friends.

Cleanliness - score for bathroom & drinking glasses in room only; rest of room perfectly fine.

Just a one night stay but wish we'd been able to make it two. The place was genuinely relaxing, the room clean and comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. It caters to a specific need -- a couples retreat to just get away from the grind and enjoy the outdoors and indoors together. If that's what you're after and you don't need luxury then this place is your answer.

My husband and I spent our 6 month Wedding Anniversary at the Pilot Knobb Inn. What a special treat! I have never been to such a unique Inn before. We loved the privacy of having our own cabin and that wonderful spa tub! The breakfast was delicious and the hosts delightful. I think our dog enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Thanks for a great experience!

It was a delight to discover such a quiet, enjoyable B&B in such a convenient location less than 2 hours from our home -- a mountain-y feeling even in the Piedmont, with quaint cabins refurbished inside with modern conveniences, hiking trails easily accessible both on the property and almost next door throughout Pilot Mountain State Park, a cheerful and very welcoming and helpful hostess, and even a pond with rowboats right on the property. We will return often.

Price was a bit high. The cabin was very nice and met all of our needs. The staff was very friendly and helpful and responded promptly to some issues we had with the DVD player. The rocking chairs on the front porch were wonderful.

Pilot Knob B&B is a treasure! Your 'get-away' time will be well-spent in a comfortable cabin with lots of hiking trail opportunities, a lake for boating, and close access to nearby attractions. Our visit was one of the most relaxing that we've ever had. Will and Jennifer provide you with genuine hospitality and do everything to make your visit comfortable. We will definitely return!

The breakfast is always amazing! We just love staying at the Pilot Inn Bed and Breakfast.

My husband and I live just 20 minutes away in north Winston Salem and turn to Pilot Knob Inn whenever we can. it is just far enough away we feel like we are in another world but close enough we don't loose any time to travel. Jennifer and Kathy work round the clock to make each visit different yet absolutley perfect! You can bet on the fact that we will be back again... as soon as we can... and as many times as the purse will allow!!!!

we have the outstanding two days. we will br back

We really liked the cabin and the way it was done-up.

We just spent a night at Pilot Knob Inn in the Pilot Knob Suite and loved it! The pictures do not do the room justice. The hot tub was wonderful, and Jennifer was a sweetheart. We will definitely stay here again!

Reserved cabin online at the last minute and was very pleased with the fast response. Great place to get away for a few days. Beautiful pool, great atmosphere. The cabins are well equipped, I was suprised that the full DirecTv lineup was on, not just one HBO channel like at a hotel. The breakfast was excellent, everything cooked to order. Total first class all the way.

My husband and I recently spent one night in the Southwestern Suite to celebrate our August birthdays. From relaxing in the sparkling pool to walking down to the quiet lake to soaking in the enormous spa tub in our suite to being served a very delicious breakfast, we felt like we celebrated our big days in style! We hope to return soon when we can stay a little longer..........

The Southwest Suite is GREAT!!! We are regulars at Pilot Knob B&B. Southwest Suite is our favorite. It's cozy and we love it. It is the only suite that has a kitchenette, table and chairs. We like to sit out on the porch in the rockers and enjoy a glass of wine. The king size bed and a HUGE whirlpool tub is more than big enough for two . The bedroom is very spacious. It has the most comfy leather sofa and recliner chair. Kathy does a super job of keeping everything clean in all the rooms, suites and cabins, and she makes a fabulous breakfast. Jen is a phone call away if we have any need at all. Jen makes you feel right at home. And don't forget the cheese cake, crackers, sparkling cider, and truffles as an add-on to the deal. The breakfast is amazing. You can have a little or have it all -- from eggs, waffles, fresh fruits, cakes or pies, canadian bacon, country ham, toast -- it's all there. It's truly a treasure that we found Pilot Mountain B&B a few years ago. I am always looking at the calendar for a time we can squeeze in a get away. You'll love the Southwest Suite!

We absolutely loved the cabin! It was perfect! We enjoyed the pool, as well. Breakfast was outstanding!

nice setting. wish we woould have known that we needed paper plates, etc...

Pilot Knob was a wonderful and relaxing place to stay. The cabin was adorable and we had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was delicious! We will certainly stay again!

Delightful surroundings. The ultimate in "recycling". Who would have thought a tobacco barn could be such a comfortable cabin. Will be returning for another visit. Thank you to the delightful and friendly owners.

My husband & I stayed in the Southwest Honeymoon Suite for our anniversary weekend at $179/night and staying for 2 nights. Walking into the bedroom before even putting down my bag, I got splinters from the wall in my hand, wrist & arm. The bedspread was old & faded and pillows, sham pillows and neckrolls were flat. The rooms were dark, no decoration on the walls of any kind in the bedroom. Sparsely decorated with cheap, homemade paintings in the bathroom on unframed small canvases complete with staples showing. One was literally 7 feet high! Only one small, cheap towel rack across the room from the sink. Medicine chest with mirror over sink you had to be careful not to knock it off the wall. The shower was at least 8 feet high and you cannot get a shower. It felt like a light rain coming from that high. VERY disappointed in room. Breakfast was also disappointing. No bacon or sausage smells wafting in the air because they are pre-cooked and/or frozen, reheated for your dining pleasure. I asked for country ham one morning and heard the microwave going and beep, then my food came. Hm. The fruits are wonderful. However they take them away about 910am, even though it states on the website that breakfast is from 830-930am. The 6-acre pond we never did see on the property anywhere. Overall, a huge disappointment for the money!

My husband I celebrated our 42nd anniversary here. We had wonderful time and were made to feel very special by Kathy especially. The full breakfast each morning was great even though it lacked some "variety" in choices. We had the Yadkinville Honeymoon Cabin. It had everything we needed to relax and make our stay pleasant. We had a great time hiking around the grounds and in the state park, swimming, fishing, visiting Mt. Airy, and a nearby winery. Just happened the weekend we were there was the Pilot Mountain "Cruise In". My husband loves old cars, so it was a pleasant surprise and fun evening. Will put it on our list of things to do again!

We spent 3 terrific nights in Tobacco Barn Cabin #1. I had heard such great things about this inn, that I just had to see for myself. It was charming and a great adult get away. We were able to take our toy poodle with us. The breakfast was superb as well as the service. We were not bothered by anyone and it was like we were in a small mountain community. We will certainly be back as soon as we can! - Mark & Susan, New Bern, NC

spent a wonderful night in the love shack, was a wonderful getaway and we enjoyed the hospitality and privacy.

The log cabin we rented was incredibly clean, tidy, well appointed. The view from our loft bedroom balcony was worth getting up for -- sunrise through the trees! FABULOUS full breakfast, good walking trail. Will return often!!

Pilot Knob Inn was a wonderful getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. Our accommodations were great! We are planning another trip back as soon as we can!

I just stayed another weekend in cabin number 5. Kathy and Jennifer were great as always. The world stops turning when I am up there. The lake is always full of fish. We caught 60. We saw deer and ground hogs. What a wonderful place to get away.

Was beyond our expectations. We have stayed at several B&Bs before but none like this. The breakfast was great. Waffles, eggs, bacon,sausage; all of the usual stuff plus the best fresh fruit, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, pineapple, canteloupe and more. Then there were the desserts for breakfast, totally unexpected but great. Constant supply of supply of snacks in the breakfast room which was open 24 hours/day. Staff were very helpful but not intrusive. Very peaceful setting. Perfect setting for honeymoon or anniversary. Wonderful place/setting for couples who want to get away from it all and don't want children around. Will be returning and highly recommended to others.

This is an amazing place, the cabins are just perfect. The Morning Breakfast is AMAZING! This is truely a get-away Bed and Breakfast, when you are at Pilot Knob it seems that the outside world does not exist. We will be returning in the near future.

Many thanks to Will, Jennifer, and Kathy for such a wonderful stay. We will definitely return. Our room, the Heavenly Hideaway was absolutley beautiful. Very spacious, and the jacuzzi for two was quite enjoyable. We definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet, cozy getaway.

My husband and I stayed in Heavenly Hideaway Jacuzzi Suite in April and really enjoyed our stay. We took advantage of the $99 a night special. We were looking to unwind and it was just perfect!! The lake is great! We took the paddle boat out- saw turtles, geese, frogs, (and other wildlife I won't mention for those faint at heart). We caught enough fish for a fish fry out at the public grill next to the gazebo. The room is absolutely adorable- very cozy and romantic. Breakfast and our chef were just wonderful! We will definitely come again!

It was our 15 year anniversary and this was a last minute get-away. I made one phone call and we we on our way (even thought we live less than 10 miles from here, it was just what we needed! Everything was very clean and nicely furnished. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicous with great scenic views.We will definetly be back.

My husband & I stayed in the Yadkin Valley Honeymoon Suite last week. It was wonderful! Very quiet & relaxing. It had a king size bed & a large jacuzzi, the living room had a gas log fireplace. We even had our own front porch with rocking chairs! Our room had a minifridge, coffee maker & microwave. We also had DirecTV & wireless internet. The breakfast was wonderful & the owners are very nice. They don't allow children, & they try to screen the guests to ensure a quiet retreat for everyone (ie: no noisy college kids throwing a party!) All of the rooms are non-smoking, which is especially nice when you have allergies. Right now the property is gorgeous with all of the flowers blooming. There are trails to walk, a private lake with gazebos, paddle boats & row boats. They have catch & release fishing, too. There's also a stable about 5 mins away where you can go horseback riding. There are plenty of nice restaurants within 15 mins or so. Why would you stay in a boring hotel when you can have all of this for about the same price? We'll definately be back. It's a perfect weekend getaway! ~ Cheryl M.

We spent two perfect nights relaxing, taking in the country feel and fishing! Breakfast was superb. Our hosts were warm, friendly and outstanding!

The room that we stayed in was the castle room. My husband and I felt like a King and Queen because that room is just so beautiful and we had our own little deck to enjoy such wonderful weather. We stayed there for our 2 year anniversary and we can't wait to go back again! Jennifer is such a sweetheart and the nicest person I have ever met. Also, the breakfast was great! We have never stayed at a bed and breakfast, but let me tell you we would recomment this bed and breakfast.

My boyfriend and I stayed only one night at the Heavenly Hideaway,and it was as close to heaven as possible! It was super clean and very relaxing. It was just what we needed to reconnect. Its very private and pretty! The breakfast was very very good! We would go back again without any doubt!

What more can be said that hasn't already been. We stayed in the Castle Room and experienced the most delightful weekend imaginable. The suite was clean, spacious, full of exquisite decor and fun, relaxing amenities. The staff was extremely customer service oriented, full of great suggestions, warm and inviting. It was everything I expected and more

We celebrated our 50th here and we enjoyed it so much. I left with tears in my eyes. I did not want to leave this peaceful place. Kathy and Jennifer are the greatest. You could not ask for a better breakfast and view. I look forward to our next visit.... just got home and wish we were going back. My husband and I solved all of our problems and the world problems on the cabin front porch rocking in the those wonderful chairs. Thought about taking them but I knew Kathy and Jennifer would notice. What a wonderful place for us to spend some very needed alone time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us.

Great, relaxing weekend stay! Beautiful setting, wonderful owner and staff were so accommodating. Delicious breakfast in a lovely breakfast room. Didn't want to leave!!!

Accomodations were cozy, warm, and charming. The fireplace was perfect for the cold January weekend we stayed. Breakfast was outstanding and the innkeepers were very nice. We will definitely return and would love to experience a visit during the warmer months.

This inn is a wonderful place to get away! My husband secretly booked us a weekend getaway at Pilot Knob Inn for our anniversary and it couldn't have been more perfect for much needed romance, rest and relaxation. The breakfast every morning was wonderful and the service was even better. We spent the weekend kayaking and visiting the local vineyards. There is not anything bad I can say about this wonderful bed and breakfast. I can't wait to come back!

This was a Christmas present and I was excited as I had never been to a bed/breakfast or cabin getaway before. The cabin was spectacular. Very rustic but with all the conveniences! We relaxed and enjoyed the jacuzzi. We took a few short hikes. We felt like we were in our own little world in cabin #4. I highly recommend Pilot Knob Inn. The Allens were very hospitable and made you feel so welcome. The cabin was extremely clean and the breakfast served each morning was delicious! I've decided to make a weekend stay at the Pilot Knob Inn my parent's gift for their upcoming 50th wedding anniversary! A truly delightful experience and I can't wait to go back again.

We were married 12-12-09 in Lexington NC & came to the Pilot Knobb Inn for our honeymoon. It was very easy to find & we had a wonderfull time. We stayed in the "Love shack" & it was very cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace & the jacuzzi tub was wonderfull. The decor was great & was beyond our expectations. The breakfast was very good. Jennifer & Kathy were awesome. We hope to return for our 1st anniversary!!!

My husband and I stayed in one of the Tobacco Cabins last year and had a great experience!. We had spent the day in Mt. Airy shopping and sight-seeing. The last night we were there I was looking at pictures we had taken and unknowingly dropped my SD card. I had filled up the card and was using a new one in my camera. It wasn't until I got home (Alabama) that I realized I had lost it and was devastated. Not only were there pictures of our tirip, the card had pictures of our grandson's first birthday party and Christmas. I called Jennifer to ask if anyone had found it and they had not. She assured me that she would look extensively for it. I knew that the last place I remembered seeing it was in the cabin. After speaking with Jennifer on several occasions, she called one day to say that my card had been found down in the sofa. I was so relieved and happy. Jennifer and the staff not only made our visit at the cabin a great one, they went out of their way after we left to search for my picture card. Thank you so much staff for making my year and I do plan to visit you agan.

Wow! What a romantic place to remember the "honey" from your honeymoon! The rustic yet first class accomdations of the cabin was wonderful! What can be more romantic than a real wood fire, a mug of fresh coffee and then a soak in the jaccuzi tub for two? The huge bed was so cozy in a large loft with a beautiful view off of the balcony and out the window, we had a wonderful get away and have already recomended it to our friends! The innkeepers were so friendly and the breakfast was wonderful!

Can't say enough about Pilot's Knob! We had the most romantic wonderful time here! Will be back soon hopefully! Everything you could ask for!!!!

Hello, First time I had stayed at the B & B and it is not just a romantic getaway. The ladies I went to high school, (have been graduated for 30 years) still get together once a month. There are eight in our group and five were able to come up for the weekend of New Year's. We wanted a new and exciting adventure to start our new year. (Also, 50th birthdays this year) We were not disappointed. The Southwest suite was perfect. Loved the gas fireplace and the setting, very clean and neat. (would have only changed the size of the TV) We went to Pilot Mountain State Park and hiked up to some of the overlooks and got some great photos. Even went back at sunset to take more photos. Walked around the property at lake, wonderful frozen fountain there. (I am a photographer and got lots of photos for my calendar for 2011) Then also walked down to the swinging bridge and got another "group" shot there. Breakfast was awesome with a good variety of foods and fruits. Did not want to leave we had so much fun. It was very relaxing and just what we needed to start our new year off with wonderful friends. Even made our reservations for next year.

This is by far the most romantic place to stay. it is quiet and very private. I think it almost made my guy cry when we arrived and walked in the cabin. We started planning our next visit before we even fell a sleep.

We just spent 2 of the most wonderful days at Pilot Knob Inn. You guys ROCK!! Loved being there on Sun. and Mon. So quiet. We checked out almost every cabin and suite to make plans for our next visit. Thanks, Jennifer and Kathy for all you do. Your love of the property and guests is so evident.

This was my first time at the Pilot Knob Inn. It was reccommended by my neighbors so we booked one of the cabins. The location was very easy to get to but it's set back from the road so it felt very remote. The cabin was small on square footage but very cozy. We had everything we needed. We purchased some wine from the local vineyards and enjoyed the rustic fireplace with the ton of wood they provided. They next morning we were pleasantly surprised with the included breakfast. There was a ton of delicious food and the service provided by Jennifer and Kathy was great. Wonderful people, wonderful stay. We will be going back and recommending to others.

Went wine tasting for the day and settled in to our private cabin at this B&B. Could not have been any more wonderful. Sat by the fire drinking wine. Very romantic. Breakfast is included in the morning and it was amazing. Staff/owner are some of the nicest, warmest people I've ever met. Will do anything to make your stay the most enjoyable possible. DEFINITELY going back and bringing friends!

My wife and I had a blast at the B&B. We came up for a Yadkin Valley Wine tour, and enjoyed the B&B just as much. We were only able to stay one night, but look forward to coming back for additional nights. When you come up, make sure you get the cheesecake added. It is GREAT!

My wife and I wanted to get away for a couple of days. We looked at some cabins farther away from home, but decided on Pilot Knob. We're glad that we did. Cabin #2 was great, clean, and cozy. The breakfast was very good. We plan to return in the future, and would highly recommend Pilot Knob to anyone looking for a romantic get-away.

My husband and I live very close, but with three kids we need an occasion getaway. This was our third time visiting Pilot Knob Inn. We love it! We have stayed in three different cabins since we started visiting and every one was great. Fireplaces, jacuzzi tub, comfortable atmosphere, great breakfast including fruits, waffles, sausage or bacon, eggs. I can't say enough about this place. One morning we woke up to a deer walking around on our porch. If you need a cozy getaway or just passing through, don't pass this place by. By reading all the guests entries in the guestbook, everybody loves it. Can't wait to surprise my husband again!!

This unique bed and breakfast is nestled in the woods at the foot of Pilot Mountain. It is a very private and romantic retreat with excellent views of the mountain. Our room was very clean and we had everyting we needed. The innkeeper and staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. We will definitely visit this B&B again.

I booked a two night stay at this inn for my husband and myself for our third anniversary. We have nine children and four grandkids and 3 St. Bernards. We never had a honeymoon and with all them people to tend to we were in need of this mini vacation. This place was FANTASTIC! The owners and staff were beyond exceptional, very caring and extremely courteous. The room was ready and also exceeded our expectations when we arrived. It was hastle free. We just went into our room and began enjoying. The breakfast was absolutely AMAZING. The waffles are great and I dont even like waffles. The atmosphere was so enjoyable and the scenery was remarkable. We had a great view from our penthouse suite , of pilot mountain. We just could not have asked for a better place to stay and have a great third anniversary celebrated. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We definately reccommend this inn as well we plan to return as soon as we can.

What a wonderful place! So very cozy and romantic! Great food! Great view! Great things to do in the area! Very friendly people!! Will definitely go back!

We try to stay at the Pilot Knob every fall but had missed a couple years. It is always such a wonderful getaway. It is rustic and well hidden. The view of Pilot Mountain is awesome. The breakfast is out of this world and Jennifer is always so helpful!!

We were traveling from the Outer Banks back to the Nashville area and wanted to stay in a log cabin in the mountains on the way home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! My husband never wanted to stay in a B & B even though I've stayed in many through the years in the US and in Europe. This has changed his mind. The only problem was that we couldn't fit the cabin in our vehicle to bring it home! If we lived closer, we would FREQUENT Pilot Knob Inn!

My wife and I had a wonderfully peaceful and fun 31st wedding anniversary. We were impressed at how clean our cabin was and very comfy. The morning breakfast was absolutely delicious. I almost slept in...glad I didn't...fresh blackberries on top of homemade waffles with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. Delicious! Will not be taking chances if you stay at Pilot Knob Inn...you will just have to figure out when to come back!

Awesome! We cannot wait to go back! We have decided to make this an annual destination! We loved our cabin, and the area surrounding it! The Breakfast was outstanding! We will be back! :-)

My wife and I were looking for a short getaway and were blessed to have found this location! What an outstanding value with an ideal setting and location with a genuine touch of elegance and class! We loved the room and furnishings and felt right at home. Everything was outstanding and we will go back.

We had a marvelous time. The cabin was very quaint. This is a great place for some relaxation.

Husband and I celebrated our birthday with a get-a-way. Beautiful scenary, secluded area but close enough to attractions and state park. Hospitality is A+. Thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing area.

We came to Pilot Knob Inn for our honeymoon in 2006, and came back for our anniversary this year. We will definitely be back again. We love this place. The staff are among the most friendly people you will ever meet. The campus is a beautiful, secluded get-away. Nice little bass lake on site in which we caught and released about 6 large-mouth in two hours. Breakfast is amazing -- don't make the mistake of sleeping through it.

My husband booked Cabin 2 as a total anniversary surprise. He knew how much I had wanted a cabin getaway, so he thought he had found a deal. Compared to other cabins, it was less expensive. Jennifer & Kathy were incredibly friendly and the breakfast is wonderful! Rooms review: Our cabin, however did not look like the photos. I feel they should advertise each cabin with the actual photos of that cabin. We had a loveseat in the livingroom with no coffee table, where a sofa is shown on the website. There was a chair, but being an anniversary, we wanted to spend time "together". Service: The service was very friendly, but our bathroom door was squeaky. We asked that the hinges be sprayed with some oil, but that didn't happen during our visit. Not a big deal, it's just that they said they would and they did not. Again, the value, was just okay for our cabin, other cabins might be different. Cleanliness: The floor of the shower definitely needed to be bleached or resurfaced and the tub was not exactly inviting either. The shower was not a "two-person" shower either, as the online ad displayed. There was also a log that had been left behind in the fireplace that had the entire cabin smelling of old smoke. Once we removed it, that was fine. Dining - the breakfast is everything promised! It was very tasty and Jennifer and Kathy are great hostesses. Would we return? Maybe we would go to the B&B, but not back to the cabin. The Innkeepers are more than friendly - so it's worth looking into, but ask questions.

We stayed in a cabin for two nights. It was very homey and relaxed, well renovated and nicely furnished. Loved being able to bring breakfast back to the cabin the first morning. It was wonderful to be so close to Pilot Knob State Park, and we loved Soppers Restaurant in the town of Pilot Knob. The only negative comments would be the too-hard mattress, and the lack of a step to get into the whirlpool tub.

We were pleasantly surprised with the Pilot Knob Inn. The Inn has a secluded feel, but very easy to find and close to area attractions. We stayed in the Castle Room, which was elegant, but very warm and cozy. A must for a romantic getaway.

It was a birthday present for my girlfriend. It was one of the most beautiful experience i have ever had. And she was so happy. The Southwest Honeymoon cabin was great. The staff at breakfast was really very nice. We will visit again.

My husband & I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on September 11th. We stayed in the beautiful & spacious Southwest Honeymoon Suite. It greatly exceeded our expectations. It was so serene and tranquil. The jacuzzi was absolutely fabulous. It was truly well oversized for two! The bed slept like a dream. The breakfast was delicious. They had the best waffles in the world! The scenery was gorgeous. We loved the cool breeze as we rocked on the front porch of the suite. Jennifer & Kathy are absolute DOLLS! They made us feel so special. We are already checking the calendar to plan our return trip to this terrific B & B.

Really beautiful room, we're in the Heavenly Hideaway. The breakfast was top notch.

I suprised my husband with a weekend getaway and we loved it. We will be back!

I suprised my husband with a weekend get away and we loved it. It is very rustic and the grounds are beautiful. It is now our new getaway.

Although we live less than two hours away, this was the perfect retreat for our fourth anniversary. As soon as we settled in to Cabin #0 (The Love Shack) it was if we were miles away from home and totally relaxed. Everything from the room, the jacuzzi for two, and the fantastic breakfast each morning added to the experience. We relaxed, explored, fished, had a picnic and thoroughly enjoyed the time away. The staff was wonderfull, and it was nice to see the dedication the owner and staff had to our experience and privacy. We look forward to coming back in the fall.

I wanted to let you knoW that we almost did'nt come to the castle room, because of it's last reveiw.Iam so glad that we did.It's AWESOME!! We could not of asked for anything any better.The room,service,cleanliness,everything was the best.My wife and i were cellebrating our 18th anneversary,we have been to alot of places over the years. My wife says this is her favorite,as well as mine.If you are looking for a place to pamper the one you love,this is it.Area attractions were good,as well as local restraunts. The PENDELLS

My husband and I wanted to have a nice weekend getaway and this was the perfect place. We loved the Pilot Knob Bed & Breakfast. We stayed in the heavenly hideaway and it was spotless and breakfast and the staff was outstanding. We are looking forward to returning again real soon. Thanks for making us feel so welcome!!!!!

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in the Castle room. Clear to see maintenance on facility and housekeeping is lacking. Not sure how long the owners have had possession but clear they have not put much money into business. They were not there during our stay. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and waffles every morning. Worst breakfast of any B&B we have ever stayed in. We thought after reading all the reviews that our experience would be better than it was.

My husband and I rented a tobacco barn cabin for vacation. The cabin was very clean and confortable. The staff Kathy checked on us to be sure that everything was at hand that could be needed. The breakfast each morning was outsanding. Jennifer the owner was present in the morning, at breakfast, also helping Kathy and inquiring on our stay, to be sure everything was going well for us. The hospitality was exceptional and I would recommend this B & B to anyone. I will definitely return! Also if you like history and the good old days the area has several things to keep you entertained. Pilot Mountain was beautiful.

I wanted to surprise my husband so I blind-folded him and took him to Pilot Knob Inn, which is only a few miles from our home. When we got there, it was so awesome. I took him to the door still blind-folded and then unfolded the surprise. He was so shocked. He is usually the romantic one but I wanted to just get away to relax for the weekend and thats just what we did :) We fished for a while and then we got in the hottub. The next day, we layed around and was just lazy after we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast cooked by Kathy. She is the sweetest thing! I really couldn't have pulled it off without Jennifer's help. I thought she was going to crack up after seeing my husband blind folded. Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend Jennifer and Kathy. You made our stay even better than I could have ask for...

Great place to stay. Wonderful setting and very friendly people. The breakfast was fantastic!!!

This was an extraordinary highlight of our first vacation together. While not an official honeymoon, it certainly had the feeling of one when we arrived at this secluded "Castle Room". It felt like we had entered a wonderland and our stay here brought back all those feelings of falling in love all over again. We felt like we were being treated like royalty even before we learned that the walls in the room had been imported from a castle in Versailles, France. If you are needing to connect or reconnect with your mate and want a place to do this, you will not be sorry if you choose this one.

A relaxing bit of elegant back country. My husband and I stayed in the Castle Room for a long weekend. Everything was absolutely wonderful: the room, the pool, the view, the breakfast. Can't wait to go back and try a cabin!

Wonderful setting, though you can hear traffic noise at times. Wonderful accomodations, nearby lake is a treat.

We stayed recently at this B&B for our honeymoon. We loved the privacy, space from others, and the facility was beautiful. The variety of foods offered at breakfast was enormous. All the employees were so nice and helpful. The location was great for wine touring, visiting natural parks and seeing local color. We would love to return in the future.

My husband and I went to get away for a few days and found this B&B online. We were so surpise when we arrived. When we walked into our place (the castle room) we where amaze how beautiful this palce was. Will go back again and telling other if they want a great place to get away go here.

What a great trip! We only live two hours away so it was a great little one night out of town trip. The cabins were perfect, rustic and cozy. The fact that they are all seperate cabins, and therefor a little more private, is a big plus. The grounds are beautiful. Took a quick little drive up to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, don't know of many other places where you can do that. The breakfast was SUPERB! Will definately be coming back here next time we need to get away.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere kinda close to hav an overnight getaway. After searching on the internet for MANY hours, I found the Pilot Knob B & B and booked it. WOW....this place is absolutely great. Clean, friendly, private, and did I mention clean ??? So very relaxing and what a great time to reconnect. The "no kids" policy is just awesome - and we have kids - but we were looking for a break and this place has it all !! Thanks to Jen for making us feel at home - nothing is left out - we will definitely be back........very soon !!!

My husband and I stayed in Cabin 5 to celebrate our honeymoon on our first anniversary! I recommend staying at Pilot Knob B&B to everyone I know. The rustic tobacco barns have been fully updated, decorated perfectly, cozy and romantic! We spent most of our time inside the cabin, but we also enjoyed hiking, swimming and taking in the views from our porch as well as a 2nd story porch that overlooked the back of the cabin! We have decided to stay here every year to celebrate our anniversary! Mostly because it suited our personalities so well and despite how much we enjoy taking our kids on vacations we know that Jennifer will not allow them to come! :] Therefore we can look forward to a minimum of one weekend a year in a fabulously cozy and romantic cabin!! The jacuzzi was tremendous! Other details will remain private! This is a must! Forever and ever! It was worth every cent! PLUS!!!! They serve a phenomenal breakfast every day! homecooked by someone else! It was delicious, I overate every morning we were there! Please go! Book your reservations today!!

This place was way above all our expectations. I saw a side of my husband I never saw before. He was romantic and truely fell in love with the experience. It is a memory that we will never forget. The owners were so friendly and we instantly felt at home. We had a cute bunch of kittens that played on our porch and 2 cute dogs that followed us on our walk around the lake. We are already planning on going back someday. This is absolutely a MUST if you need to reconnect with eachother...I never even know a place like was still around....I fell even more in love with my husband..and I think him with me

Love this place. Especially the cabins. Great place to get away. Even better than website describes it.

Our room was spacious, clean and well-appointed. Breakfast was very good, plentiful and included a generous variety of fresh fruit. The pool was very clean. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and helpful with directions to nearby restaurants, etc. We were very impressed!

We have celebrated serveral anniversaries at Pilot Knob and we have not been disappointed yet. We have stayed there when snow is on the ground and also in the heat of the summer. The breaksfast, rooms and southern hospitality are great representatives of the wonderful area.

My husband & I recently celebrated our 27th anniversary here. EVERYTHING was wonderful - except ... we wanted to stay LONGER!!!! It was PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!! As soon as we got home we started trying to figure out when we could return!! THANKS, GUYS!! Dale & Sandra Elkin, NC

Beautifull place. Peacfull. Nice pool. Tobacco cabins are nice but the bed is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. The breakfast is the best and Kathy makes it better. Great service.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend get-away and absolutely loved it! Our suite was great and breakfast was amazing! We will definitely be back the next opportunity we get. Jennifer and Kathy were awesome. We loved everything about our stay here! We are reccomending it to everyone!
