The James Wylie House B&B


  • Inn Details

    The James Wylie House is located in the village of White Sulphur Springs at the base of the Allegheny Mountains. Built in 1819 for Greenbrier poineer, Richard Dickson, the property has evolved from a working farm of over 1300 acres to a boarding house.

Come join us on the porch for a lemonade and some fresh mountain air.

    We had a delightful visit here in October 2011. Monica, the innkeeper, was very helpful and even provided us with interesting history stories as well as local information. We would definitely stay there again.

    This is the second time we have stayed at the James Wylie House and each time has been the highlight of our vacation trip. We travel up from Texas and look forward to the host's breakfasts and charming conversation. We have rented the log cabin each time because of the number of family that joins us there and love the history of the house and cabin, the easy access, the accurate era furnishings, and the delicious morning meal. Our stays are generally for a week and every morning Monica greets us with hot coffee, cold juice and a culinary surprise that is guaranteed to delight your palate. Our first stay in 2009, another guest had picked some blueberries nearby and Monica treated all the guests to a freshly made berry breakfast dessert. This time it was our turn as black raspberries were ripe for the picking along a local country road. Monica turned these into a wonderful raspberry crisp for all the guests. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with either the accomodations or the hospitality you will receive.

    My husband and I were traveling to celebrate our 30th anniversary and had read the reviews before booing the room. I don't know that I could say anything more than has already been said, but it was a very homelike feeling. Extremely clean and breakfast was not only excellent, but there was something to satisfy anyone’s appetite. Well done. The innkeeper was very accommodating and we would go back.

    Spent a wonderful evening in the cabin - quaint and historic. A wonderful breakfast the next morning. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

    The James Wylie House is riding the wave of change in WSS. This is a wonderfully maintained and comfortable B&B in a small town that is seeing a revival. Fantastic place.
