    We spent an evening at the Lamplight Inn for our anniversary this year. As history and cinema buffs, we chose the Gone With the Wind room for our stay. Our room was beautiful, our hostess delightful, and breakfast superb.

    A great anniversary get-away!

    Stayed in the Regal Room. Being located right at the dining room was great for helping ourselves to a snack and beverage. Our hostess met our food preferences and standards with Ridgeway honey dew melon with blueberries, soy milk, decaf., and Splenda with Fiber. Not to mention the baked mushroom egg dish, homemade biscuits, link sausage, orange juice and the to-die-for homemade coffee cake. We were the only guests during this one-night stay. We got to choose when we would have breakfast. We had breakfast after an early self-tour of the farm. My favorite was the fitness center, a converted tobacco pack-house. Our complimentary personal chocolate cake was also scrumptious. The bed was as comfortable as the one we slept on at the Grove Park Inn in Ashville during our honeymoon. We followed the innkeeper's suggestion and ate at the Middleburg Steak House, which is open only Wednesday-Sunday. Awesome! Didn't want to leave!

    Relaxing on the porch, looking over the tobacco farm I could imagine days of yesteryear. Shirley has created and unique retreat. I would recommend to all to come.

    I've had the experience at both the main house and the cabins, and each is an exceptional treat. I'm very thankful for Shirley Payne.

    I didn't actually use the B&B. We were in the adjacent RV Camp. Absolutely perfect for us. Shirley and Gary were very accommodating. The grounds were well kept. Reminding me of Bodie CA, this old tobacco farm RV park is in arrested decay. The outbuildings serve as rustic (but safe) porches and lounges. And they are fantastic artistic photographic opportunities. Being a retired photographer/graphic designer I took over 400 images. Some will definitely become part of my fine art portfolio. So, especially to your artists out there, if you want a quiet absolutely beautiful place to stay in your RV, or at the adjacent B&B, I HIGHLY recommend The Tobacco Farm Camp and Lamplight Inn.
