    This was my 3rd stay with Florence & Carl. I guess I could be considered a "regular". A few things had changed about the house since my last stay...like the new porch and some different furniture. But not the atmosphere! This is the homiest place you could ever stay. Just like being in your own home with a different view! Even better!! I WILL keep coming back! See you again next year!

    My family recently stayed at Flo's Hideaway during the Fall Nascar race at Bristol. We were looking for a different kind of experience so decided to try a Bed & Breakfast. I don't think Flo's is a typical B&B as we were treated like family rather than guests. It surpassed our expectations and we have already booked our room for 2013.

    A car problem had us stuck in the Bristol area for a night. A google search pointed to Flo's and we gave it a try although it showed she was only opened during special occasions. After earring our ordeal there was no hesitation and Flo opened her home to us. What a wonderful, compassionate hostess, we are used to B&B's but this was an incredible experience, just like it used to be 30 years ago in Europe, when you could just knock on someone's door and ask if they would accommodate you for the night. Within a few hours we thought we had known each other for years. If you are fortunate enough to spend an evening there you will know exactly how we felt. I believe we got stuck for a reason: so we could meet Flo and Carl.

    We always pick a B&B for our anniversary and this actually was not our first pick for our 40th anniversary, but due to really bad weather closing our 1st choice, we found Flo's. We will never know what we missed at the other but we know what we gained at Flo's, an instant bond of friendship. We stayed in Julia's suite, it is very spacious and very well appointed with antique furniture and "whatnot", the bed was so comfortable, and towels very soft. We love the fact that rather than destroy the integrity of the house to bring all those modern amenities, Flo and Carl worked around the original design to bring all the comfort possible. We also like the fact that they advocate "being green". Breakfast was a variety of french goodies like croissants, toasted homemade baguettes, crepes and preserves, even french butter. Flo agreed to shared her recipe for baguette with me. It was hard saying goodbye but we will be back. Thank you for a perfect weekend.
