    This b&b is nestled on three acres off the beaten path, wonderfully quiet and refreshingly dark at night yet just a quick fifteen minutes from Greenville. The innkeepers were fun to get to know and told funny stories which kept us laughing all evening. Breakfast was delicious - everything is cooked from scratch - and the little pastry treats were so yummy. We will visit again!


    Comfortable, great service, wonderful food!

    The owners are genuinely concerned with well-being on the guest, and are very kind. Bed was comfortable, food excellent. Easy enough access to Greenville SC. The only drawbacks were that the bathrooms are in the hall, and there are dogs. The dogs are blocked by a barricade. Excellent value.

    This is the best B&B I have ever visited and epitomizes what a B&B is all about. The house is lovely and comfortable. The owners are very focused on making their guests feel at home. The setting is perfect; I truly felt like I was in the countryside although not too far from the city. The guest room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and well appointed. I will definitely stay at this B&B many times again in the future.


    Fantastic weekend.

    This is one of those times when I find myself really glad to have the internet. The American House on the Hill is not the type of place my wife and I would usually stay at. If not for the internet, I would have never found it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts were FANTASTIC!
