We only stayed one night but the B&B was excellent from beginning to end. We will definitely come back again. Shell and Barb were very gracious hosts who worked very hard to please the guests.
5 out of 5The best B&B we have ever stayed at
April 24, 2013
We stayed at the Oak Hill for three nights. The 3 course breakfasts were amazing!!! Deb is great about working around food allergies - which a lot of B&B owners are not. The house and grounds are lovely. Shell and Deb are great about giving directions and recommendations for things in the area and surrounding areas as well. They called ahead to the restaurants we wanted to eat at and made sure there was a table waiting for us. They are very warm and inviting but also respectful of personal space and privacy. We will definitely go back there again.
5 out of 5The Best First B&B Experience
April 06, 2013
Where do I begin?...My wife and I were looking for something different to do for our 2nd anniversary, but weren't sure about what. I randomly suggested something in the mountains of NC and maybe doing a B&B, which we had never done before. My wife was the one who found Oak Hill and saw it's stellar reviews, this being extremely influential in our decision to make our arrangements here. It turned out to be one of the best choices we have made as man and wife so far. Immediately upon arrival, it felt like we had come to the warmest, safest, and coziest home there is in America. It felt like Christmas in March. We walked in and took a tour of all the most beautiful and picturesque rooms the home had to offer. We stayed in the Bess Ray-Howell room and were in awe. I wanted to stay forever. Deb and Shell were so very sweet and wonderful. They knew everything about everything; I felt like I could ask how to get to the moon. Now, our anniversary falls right in between the offseason and when it begins, so we were limited on what we could fill our day with. However, they made it seem like we had arrived at the perfect time and could have done just about anything. And the food was scrumptious and delicious. They, also, made extra specific accommodations for my wife because of her special diet needs. I, nor my wife, would have changed a thing and could not have wished for a better experience. Thank you Oak Hill, Deb and Shell, for such a great and wonderful time and for making our anniversary impeccable. We will most definitely be going back.

We recently spent 3 nights in the Clyde Ray Suite at this B&B and had a fantastic experience! Deb & Shell were wonderful! We felt they were friends instead of just the proprietors. The house is beautiful, the rooms immaculate and we can't say enough about the breakfasts. They were not only delicious but beautiful in their presentation! At the end of breakfast you will leave with one of Deb's "little white bags," with a special treat for later. Attention to detail was in evidence during our entire stay. We highly recommend that everyone experience Oak Hill on Love Lane, as well as, the charming town of Waynesville, NC. Our many thanks to Deb and Shell for their wonderful hospitality!

Ella Davis-Ray, the matriarch of the Ray family, was a strong-willed and beautiful woman accustomed to all the luxuries of the time.

The story has it that after the birth of her 12 children, Ella, in an effort to insure her privacy, moved up to the guest room and promptly had a lock installed on the door! Needless to say, there were no more children after that. * Bedroom, En-Suite Bathroom (second floor) * Standard Tub/Shower * King Bed

March 06, 2013
My wife and I literally had zero complaints on our stay. We explained that though we are only a half hour away, we were looking for a quite night to have a mini-get away. We were treated to exceptional hospitality, a wonderful bed, and then the breakfast was out of this world. The owners were very kind. They showed hospitality without being overbearing and provided us with plenty of suggestions as to where to eat and what to do for fun. We will return to this B and B. We recommend it without any hesitation.
5 out of 5Gorgeous B&B
March 01, 2013
Our stay at Oak Hill on Love Lane was a wonderful experience. Deb and Shell are WONDERFUL cooks and the hospitality was above and beyond our expectations. The house is warm and inviting and they know so much interesting history for the house that it made it that much more interesting. Everything was clean and very well maintained. It was so nice to "make ourselves at home" with the coffee and homemade goodies provided each day. It was also a special treat to be sent on your way for the day after breakfast with a homemade "snack" to go ! I would definitely stay at this B&B again and I would recommend it to friends and strangers alike !

From the minute you walk in the door to the time you sadly say good-bye it was a wonderful experience. The breakfast was wonderful and even custom made for my husband and I, which was a special touch for us. I can see us going back in the near future. It made for a very romantic Valentine weekend for us.
