    My wife and I had a fantastic time at Prospect Hill - it's a beautiful house, the room was very nice and clean, all three of our breakfasts were great, and Robert and Judy were great hosts. For our anniversary getaway, it was exactly what we were looking for.

    Wonderful time spent at Prospect Hill!

    We had the pleasure of staying at Prospect Hill Bed and Breakfast for 2 nights and what a fun time we had! The inn keepers were extremely accommodating and was able to provide several fun options for our 3 year old for entertainment. They went above and beyond by giving us detailed maps of the areas and detailed great resources for restaurants and shopping. The inn itself is gorgeous and spacious. Our room was perfect and we slept very well that weekend :)

    Get-a-way in the Mountains!

    First time to stay in a bed and breakfast. Couldn't have been more pleased. Peaceful surroundings with lots of comfort available. Enjoyed a quiet morning on the outdoor porch swing, and a cool visit in the backyard garden upon our arrival. The breakfasts were delicious and the company enjoyable from birders to honeymooners! The innkeepers went out of their way to answer all questions and plan day trips to the surrounding 3 states! Stayed an extra day because it was so relaxing. Thanks to Judy and Robert for a pleasant break from 'real' life!

    A great, romantic getaway.

    We stayed here after our wedding in 2006 and just recently for our 5 year anniversary. The place is beautiful and full of character. The innkeepers have done a wonderful job restoring the old home. Speaking of the innkeepers, they are wonderful people; warm and very helpful. The accommodations are wonderful and the breakfast is fresh and unique. My only complaint is that there is not much to do in Mountain City, but if you are looking to get away from everything, this is your spot.

    Not just for newlyweds-we are married 50+ years

    The work and planning Judy and Robert have put into the restoration of this beautiful old home is a labor of love. They are experienced B&B innkeepers. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it is obvious that Judy and Robert care about their guests' comfort. We were traveling and only able to spend one night; we wish it could have been more. We liked the fact that it is "off the beaten path", but within a reasonable distance of shops and restaurants in other nearby areas. We would definitely recommend Prospect Hill to others.
