    Amazing Getaway Weekend

    February 12, 2013

    My wife and I booked two nights at the Baird House as a quick mini-vacation. We were amazed how great our experience was. The best part were the hospitality of Deede and Tom. The homemade breakfast she cooked in the mornings could be the best thing I've ever tasted. I definitely recommend the Baird House for anyone looking to get away for a few days.

    Comfortable, warm, delicious breakfasts, friendly innkeepers and dog, plus we had a light dusting of snow during our visit! Let Tom make a reservation for dinner for you in nearby Boone. Large selection of DVDs and videos to view in your room when you return from dinner. Wonderfully relaxing!

    The Baird House at Christmas

    January 03, 2013

    Nothing but raves for every aspect of The Baird House. The hosts are charming and very helpful with dining and shopping hints. The breakfasts are out-of-this-world good. On top of it all, you're staying at house that is 222 years old.
