The hospitality was outstanding, and the entire staff made our group feel comfortable. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious -- everything came out perfect.

The piano player even came over and greeted us in such a friendly way, asking the teenage girls if they played piano. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that made the night extra special. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Wonderful owner, amazing food and drinks, and a warm, welcoming environment. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

That said, this place and the host "Paps" are such a refreshing change from the usual B&B fare. The place is a well lived in 150 year old farm house and the host is a warm, personable person who also puts out an excellent breakfast. The location is about 10 minutes from downtown West J. We stayed in the President's suite and I would recommend it. It has everything needed including a large bathroom and a comfortable queen bed; not to mention the fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Soft drinks, lite snacks, and Kuerig pucks are included... Thanks Paps and Susan for the excellent accommodations and good local information.. We will be back when we visit the area..

We planned this trip as our first anniversary weekend to get away from the chaos of everyday life and it was every bit of what we needed. Unlike other B&Bs, Scott and Loren's home offers a secluded and private setting where you can enjoy the grounds without having to tiptoe around other guests or wait for a good spot on the porch to open up. It offers a level of comfort and seclusion not easily found elsewhere. Their property is amazing with gardens throughout and a quietness you cannot find at other B&Bs. They are incredibly welcoming to their home and go out of their way to make you feel appreciated. While we were secluded from civilization, the home itself offered all of the amenities you could ever need. We especially enjoyed exploring the books on the shelves, sitting on the porch, looking at the many species of trees and plant life, and perhaps best of all Scott's French Toast breakfast. I cannot stress enough just how wonderful our stay was and how accommodating they were to our last-minute changes. We are deeply appreciative for their hospitality and every little touch they put in to make our stay a memorable one. We will definitely be back for future stays.

As the holidays approach I find myself reminiscing about my stay at Meadowsweet Gardens Inn two…read moreyears ago. My best friend, her husband, and I stayed in two of their beautiful, cozy rooms in the days leading up to Christmas. The inn grounds were lit up with sparkling lights as I approached the inn, and I was blown away by the incredible Christmas decor throughout the entire establishment. Debra and Ken were incredible hosts who paid attention to all of the details, ensuring we had the most comfortable stay. We had so much fun exploring all that the outdoors have to offer, and I was dazzled by the surrounding Christmas tree farm. Meadowsweet Gardens Inn is a true treasure, and I look forward to meeting friends for more adventures there soon!

Pat & Tom, the owners were personable and informative about the area and the B&B. Although transplants themselves you can appreciate their knowledge of the area and know that this is home for them now. Eight rooms, each with their own bathroom and unique personality. Our room, a 1st floor spacious bedroom with a queen bed & twin day bed and trundle. Enough room for 3-4 comfortably. Modest bathroom with built in storage shelves, sink, toilet and vintage claw foot tub with a modern shower head. Breakfast at B&Bs are one of the highlights of the stay. Here was no different. To start, Greek yogurt with honey, fresh diced fruit (apples & oranges), and warm zucchini bread. Followed by a vegetable omelette, sliced strawberries, roasted potatoes and tomatoes. Seasoned to taste, appetizing and filling. Drink options varied from coffee, tea and juices. Charming B&B that I would recommend if you want to stay in a home-style environment with personal attention, great conversation, snacks, drinks and above par b/fast to fill you up.

It is out of the way down a long driveway, and most likely you'll be greeted by their super friendly dog, Hunter. Jim and Margaret are great hosts, providing freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and lemonade upon arrival. The check-in process is short and sweet and they are available when you need them, but the place is big enough to give enough privacy despite the community spaces. I surprised my bf for his birthday and we came up just for one night. We stayed in the Yosemite room and it was perfect. The king bed was super comfortable, and the room had a ceiling fan, flat screen tv, electric fireplace (for ambiance and/or for heat), and the bathroom had a shower and a jacuzzi tub. It was right around the corner from the kitchen, so in terms of noise, you do hear the clinging and clanging of cooking and cabinets/drawers closing, but it wasn't a major issue for us. If you're sensitive to noise, then I would suggest getting a room on the second floor instead. Our room leads off to an external entrance to the back balcony/porch area so we could come and go from the back door instead of going through the house/common area which was nice. There is always access to coffee (fresh brewed in the morning or a Keurig for afternoon) and hot water for tea or hot chocolate. Upstairs, there is a small fridge that has complimentary can sodas and bottles of water for guests to have. I put our bottle of champagne there to chill. The highlight of the stay of course was the breakfast promptly served at 8:30a. We woke up to a beautiful spread and shared a nice breakfast with nice conversation with 12 other guests. It was family style, so we passed the food around and around until we were all miserably/happily stuffed. Margaret's famous cinnabuns were really delicious - super sweet and fresh. Overall - Everything was clean and just really done well with nice subtle touches throughout the B&B (ie. light music in the background of the common areas, fresh cut flowers in the bathroom and bedside, foaming bubble bath by the tub with a pillow, several candles in the room to assist with creating a romantic ambiance, super plush robes and Bath & Body Works shower products (soaps, shampoo, etc) to use... We definitely hope to come back and enjoy/relax again in the near future :)

This cozy little cabin has a loft bedroom with one bed and a half bath. Downstairs is a living room that is equipped with a pull out sofa bed, perfect of an eight-year-old. The grey stone fireplace and chimney occupy the center of the structure and are beautiful. The full kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee-maker, cups, coffee, tea and there was a plate of fresh-baked cookies waiting for us on the table when we arrived. Just off the kitchen is a full bathroom with a fantastic Jacuzzi tub. But the piece de resistance: the most perfect "settin' porch" overlooking the creek behind. No kidding, the perfect spot for your morning coffee! In the mornings, we walked up the hill to the main house log home with another amazing porch. The innkeepers make a homemade sumptuous breakfast every morning. On the first morning, there was fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, baked grits. On the second morning, we had shirred eggs with ham, waffles, Moravian sugar bread, fruit salad. We enjoyed the breakfast at a common table with other guests, sharing our stories of our journeys and adventures. Delish!!

If there weren't so many telephone/power poles around the front of the place, photography opportunities would be great. At least the backyard is picturesque. The only slightly negative thing worth noting is that outside it can be a bit loud considering both the river with its small waterfall and the live music. Def would go back!

After staying in…read moreprior years in smaller economy rooms, I booked a large room on the second floor with access to a shared balcony for 2 nights. The sound of the waterfall was extremely relaxing and since I was able to open windows it made for a restful sleep. My room was near the noise from the bar but it ended at 9:00. The breakfast in the morning was delicious (fluffy eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, fruit, muffins, toast, bagels and mugs of coffee), managed by a wonderfully attentive woman who went table to table to ask if everythi was ok. All of this was accompanied by a beautiful view of the river. Great way to start the day. Dinner of grilled trout, mashed potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and braised heirloom carrots from the new fall menu was lovely. Finally, I enjoyed the mix of people I encountered, from retirees (like me) there to ride the Creeper trail (currently the Damascus to Abingdon portion is open, trail from Whitetop to Damascus open Mar27), to a group planning to hike the Appalachian Trail for 3 days. Lots of adventure to be found in the area. My favorite though was relaxing and painting on the deck by the river. Will definitely be back.
