    A Peaceful and Luxurius Rest

    March 11, 2013

    The Shelton's hospitality was matched only by the beauty and quiet atmoshphere of the Garden House B&B. My wife and I have 3 teenage boys and needed a brief "Couple" getaway. The location, beauty and amenities make for a fantastic value. The breakfasts were magnificent and the portions large! My wife and I cannot wait to go back. Curt & Melissa S. Taylors, SC

    All stars in every category! Congenial hosts, fellow guests -- the epitome of gracious, southern hospitality. Beautiful house, with porches, veranda, and series of gardens. And the food -- oh, my -- perfection.

    An enjoyable stay made more enjoyable

    September 18, 2012

    The purpose of our short vacation was to explore the Upcountry of South Carolina, specifically Greenville with its revitalized Central Business District. We stayed at the Garden House in Simpsonville, a short drive down the Interstate from Greenville. The Garden House lives up to our expectations. The room we stayed in was clean, comfortable, spacious, attractive, and private. The breakfasts were different each day (we stayed for four nights) as well as delicious and filling. We didn't "run out of gas" in the middle of the day which allowed us to further explore Greenville and surrounding communities. The yard is a one of a kind beauty, meticulously cared for by Roy. While our stay was enhanced by the facilities it was made even more so by Frances and Roy. They are gracious hosts and most interesting conversationalists. We won't hesitate to schedule another stay.

    what a place to stay ......

    September 17, 2012

    ... when not expecting much after having stayed at some many hotels before and than you step into this wondrful place! Never thought that business trips could become that nice ... well at least as far as accomodation is concerned .... and not just the room itself ... it's the overall atmosphere / the "feel at home & getting spoiled" feeling starting from the place itself (house, rooms, garden etc) and definitely not stopping with Frances & Roy's warm welcome & magnificent way of looking after you (that includes a breathtaking breakfast every morning) .... unfortunately I was pretty busy on that trip so I could not spend enough time at teh Gardenhouse .... yet enxt time I will ......

    Lovely Get Away

    August 13, 2012

    Upon seeing the formal garden, followed by a more natural scape, we knew we had a great place. Francis & Roy have created a warm & welcoming escape where no detail is overlooked. The house is lovely and comfortable. We highly recommend The Garden House.

    Two Weeks of Southern Charm

    January 27, 2012

    The Garden House is a beautiful Victorian home which was renovated in the early 2000's. Mr. and Mrs. Shelton live on the third floor, leaving the first and second (very spacious) floors for their guests. I was able to experience the new living room TV, which Mr. Shelton noted had a 60' screen. I stayed at the Garden House for 11 nights during a two week trip to the Greenville area. Mr. and Mrs. Shelton are truly kind and friendly hosts who strive to make their guests feel comfortable. I thought 11 days worth of breakfast would push Mrs. Shelton to her limits, but somehow she managed to make me a new, delicious breakfast creation every morning. She is an outstanding cook.

    FABULOUS!

    June 06, 2011

    Frances Shelton is an outstanding innkeeper. Everything exceeded my expectations. The inn is a palace and Frances will make you feel at home the instant you walk in. But, don't think you'll be able to remain on your summer diet. Frances will provide you w. a sumptuous amount of delicious Southern hospitality. And that's all there is to it! Leeds Levy
