    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Blue Rock B&B. Breakfast was fascinating. As if Stephanie had read my mind, she prepared breakfast with all sorts of my favorite dishes. They were very attentive to our requests and eager to help with our needs. I will definitely come back to stay if I have a chance and will recommend this place.

    This warm and inviting B&B was a wonderful experience. The Innkeepers were very accomodating and genuinely caring. Throughout our group's multi-day stay, we were wowed every morning with scrumptious breakfasts. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit the area. Beth H. from Virginia

    This was our first B & B and we were impressed. The owners were great and a joy to visit with. We stayed in the family suite that was clean, quiet and comfortable. It was nice to have two couches where we could watch TV. There was plenty of space to play games on the floor with the kids too. The food was top notch also. Good job Blue Rock!

    I was really surprised when I descovered how warm and inviting a Bed and Breakfast can be and because of this experience, I will not hestitate to stay at a bed and breakfast in the future. Although, I doubt that I will find any finer two people than Stephanie and Ed. Ruby G. Scripka Woodstock, GA
