    Outstanding Bed and Breakfast!

    February 13, 2013

    We have stayed in at least 15 Bed and Breakfast inns, from Florida to Maine and The Garden Inn at Bee Rock was the most relaxing inn of all. Tastefully decorated, the inn was spotless and neat, yet completely comfortable. Being sensitive to odors, I was thrilled there were no hint of perfumed scents or aromas, just pure clean air. Breakfast was delicious!

    Anniversary Get-away

    November 25, 2012

    We chose the Garden Inn B&B off the internet and were very happy we did. The setting up on top of a mountain cliff and the scenery is well worth the trip. The proprietors are very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. It was a very quiet relaxing get away for us.

    Great getaway!

    November 05, 2012

    Service was superb, food was great, rooms were clean, awesome view, great place to get away. Only thing that would have made it nicer in my opinion was to have a real fireplace, but I'm sure there is liability involved :-)

    What a wonderful getaway!

    October 22, 2012

    This was my first experience at a B&B and I booked this at the last minute and was not disappointed one bit. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left - I've never felt so comfortable and welcome. Mike & Mirtha and the staff are very gracious and truly care about each and every guests experience at their home. I was especially blessed each evening that Mirtha and I talked over my day and my experiences in their "heaven in the mountains". Everything was perfect...the food, the room, and the location - especially with the Fall trees in almost full color. Mike warned me that my breath would be taken away each morning watching the sunrise over the Cumberland mountains from my room and he was right. Waking up to that each morning was pure serenity each morning! I would definitely recommend The Garden Inn at Bee Rock to anyone who wants a quiet getaway from the fast-paced world around them. To me - it truly was "Heaven in the Mountains".

    I have stayed in B and Bs all over the world; the Garden Inn at Bee rock has it all.

    October 02, 2012

    The view is awesome. The host and hostess make us feel like we are family. The rooms are furnished with beautiful locally made solid cherry creek furniture. The bedding feels like the sheets were ironed. The breakfast is fantastic!

    Most beautiful Bed & Breakfast

    September 30, 2012

    The Garden Inn was the best Bed & Breakfast we have ever stayed at. The place was beautiful both inside as well as ouutside. The owners were very friendly and the service as well as the food was supreme.

    Breath of fresh air

    September 10, 2012

    We stayed two nights at this Bed and Breakfast Inn in the fall and enjoyed ourselves so much. We spent our 24 year Anniversary weekend in Upper Cumberland of Tennessee. Our room had a gorgeous view of the Cumberland valley and a fireplace. We visited Holly Ridge Winery, Cookeville Fall Fest, Fall Creek Falls State Park (waterfall), Chestnut Hill Winery, shopping in Nashville, Dining at Maurice's and The Brass Lantern and had devotions on Bee Rock. Thank you, Tony and Stephanie (and girls) of Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast, for serving us, blessing us and most of all becoming our friends.

    Outstanding!

    August 20, 2012

    Every aspect of our stay at The Garden Inn was wonderful. Warm, friendly, clean and comfortable are just a few adjectives to describe our visit. The Innkeepers and staff were warm and friendly. Breakfast was beyond comparison. We felt right at home, and feel like we have new friends in Mike and Mirtha. They saw to every need. Their suggestions of where to eat and visit were spot on outstanding. This included Mauricio's, The Brass Lantern, and The Treehouse. We hope to return as soon as we can!
