    The drive out of town had us a little confused, its really was only about 2 or so miles out of town, when we got there we were so surprised. This home was built to be a Bed and Breakfast so they have all the standard conviences of a hotel but with a fabulous homey feel. The place is furnished so beautifully and they have a wonderful view of Lake Cumberland. We also really liked the friendly atmosphere and innkeeper. We will definetly be returning.

    "Lakeside" -- the name of our room, overlooking a cliff of rustling trees, focusing on Cumberland lake below. But view is the same from the living room walled with windows or the charming screened-in porch. Breakfast -- scrumptious! Hospitality -- satisfying, helpful, charming! Don't let this be your first B&B; you might find it hard to measure up to next time.

    What a wonderful experience our family and extended family had at the Acorn and Fox Inn. Not only were we treated as family, but Myrna and Al went above and beyond our expectations. We were there during a difficult time. Having just lost my Father, we were able to have a "home" away from home while making funeral arrangements. I will never forget the hospitalilty and caring that were shown to us. Thanks again, Myrna and Al. You were truly a blessing to us. Babs and Fred Summers
