Signature Dish
Pecan Waffles
Requested over and over these waffles are made like Grandma used to make from scratch with beaten egg whites and served hot from the waffle iron. The large plentiful pecans are grown from trees in the yard or locally. Melted real butter and warm pecan syrup which tastes like the best melted candy you ever ate put guests in heaven. They are served with homemade breakfast sausage from the highly acclaimed local locker plantand eggs. I also have fresh fruit salad every morning. The apple-pecan/Kahlua icing mini muffins run a close second for popularity. Come Enjoy!

My wife and I stayed at the John Denham House B & B while visiting my parents in Monticello. After that, we knew this was the place to have our family reunion. Innkeeper, Pat Inmon, did a fantastic job accommodating our very large family, providing fantastic meals and service. We are sure to stay again and again! -Bob and Lizanne Mast, Tampa Bay

This is the best B&B we have been to in 10 years. The breakfast was just awesome! I am still tasting the pumpkin bread, ultralight waffles, farm fresh eggs and pure florida orange juice.This year for our anniversary we did not want to stay in a big overpriced hotel. We wanted some much more low key and intimate. We were close enough to the "Big City" of Tallahassee to stop by for dinner. During the day, we estopped by one of the Nature Trails and enjoyed a lazy river boat tour. The property is so nicely tucked away and it was so very peaceful and quite. My spouse and I enjoyed just having time for conversation and reading. Make sure you ask Pat to make you that pumpkin bread...yum !! 5 stars out of 5.

My daughter and I stayed here in March 2011. The rooms are very big, breakfast was delicious, the inn is in a quiet location off busy roads, Pat is a gracious hostess, the yard is large and pretty, and you can walk downtown. I recommend this inn.

Recently I stayed at the John Denham House. I called and made a reservation with Pat Inmon. My wife and I were greeted at the door with a warm smile and a friendly laugh. We signed in and were shown around the house and told a little about the history of the home. Having just met Pat we felt that we had known her as a family friend for years. The rooms were beautiful and her hospitality was above anything that we were expecting. Although we only stayed one night it will stay with us for a long time. We look forward to going back and spending some more time and enjoying the area. I highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to experience the best of the best..!!!!!!

All I have to Say is WOW! What great value and service.

I was just on my way through the area and I found this HUGE gem of a place on-line, I almost just past it buy the price was so tempting I decided to stop. I have to say It felt like I found my own hideaway only in a mansion. The inn keeper was so inviting and found myself transported back in time. It was so quite and charming, I was so- stress out from the traveling, but this place just took the edge right off, big beds with such comfort. I feel like not telling anyone and keeping it to myself, so it will be just as nice when I come this way the next time. I awoke well rested, to have a breakfast that tasted like a million, right on time. Then I was ready to hit the road. I will have to stay a little longer next time the Inn Keeper Pat told me about her local ingredients and I have to say it was a lot of food. And every bite was just yummy. It was the best I have had on my trip, otherwise I would have felt guilty for not writing this review. It's said to get to a mans heart go though is stomach; well If you don't stop for the beds and a good nights the food will win your heart.
