Hubby and I were looking for a weekend getaway that was not too far of a drive so we decided to go…read morecheck out De Soto park and falls in Mentone. We found this B&B nearby and thought it would be cool to stay here for a night. It is very near the border with Georgia and Tennesse so it's close to the Chattanooga area as well. The house itself is located in Valley Head.The house was easy to spot from a distance as it really stands out in this area. Next to the railroad tracks, the property is beautiful with gorgeous old trees surrounding it.There actually used to be a council tree on this property that the Indians used for ceremonies, e.t.c. before they were forced out on the Trail of Tears. There's a lot of history in this place. We were met by Jim Bunch, one of the owners, who gave us a tour and told us the history of the place before showing us our room. The original owner was related to Winston Churchill and Dolly Madison. I won't tell you all the history so if you want to know more, you'll have to visit it yourself! I appreciated that there was a folder in our room that contained reading materials about the house and the area so I could read more about it! Our room was lovely and the bed was really comfy. There was a tv in our room as well. We had rented the Patrick Henry Suite so we actually had another room next door that had an old fashioned bed with curtains all around it. Each rental has its own full bathroom so no worry about sharing. The house actually has a game room with a piano, pool table, and ping pong table. We didn't use it on this visit but would be fun if you have kids. You can actually rent the whole house if you wish for family events etc. People can get married here as well. There are some beautiful pictures from weddings on the property. Our stay included breakfast in the morning. Jim made us a wonderful breakfast that included French toast, eggs, breakfast potatoes, grits, bacon, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee and tea. I was stuffed. Everything was delicious. It was hard to leave this wonderful old house. I would definitely stay here again.

You are sunken down in a small valley with hills on each side. This home is historically beautiful. The wrap around porches are nice to sit in and relax taking in the sounds of the crickets and frogs. Our bed was comfortable and pillows nice. The bathroom was decorated immaculately!! Beautiful! The hostess even gave us a tour of the home and the others rooms that were vacant. She brought ice to our room and showed us the kitchen so we can self serve in the night if we wish for water or coffee or teas. This experience was one of our best at a B and B. It was Mrs. Fays breakfast the next morning that knocked out socks off!! As we gathered in the beautifully appointed dining room; we were served coffee and juice. Out came the fruit cup with watermelon (in season and sweet) then the gravy with homemade from Scratch biscuits; scrambled fluffy eggs, bacon, sausage patties, and then this amazing cheesy hash brown casserole that I will be craving the rest of my life!!! The homegrown, sliced garden tomatoes. Wow!!! This was by far the best breakfast on our entire trip! Then to top it off; I forgot my iPad and we called after being an hour away and Leslie ( our host) said it's going in fedex and we should have it when we arrive home Monday. Just a wonderful overall experience here and Winston place. You come in as a guest and leave friends :)

I've wanted to come to Gorham's Bluff for years. Overlooking the Tennessee River, it's one of the…read moreloveliest natural spots in Alabama. My fiancé and I came for a weekend and we're considering spending our lives here. The inn is a lovely old place - kept up by folks who cherish it, and it shows. Meals are by reservation only, but an experience not to be missed. Food was excellent, a little costly but not at all out of line. Our room was lovely - the Satterfield Room. The only complaint I have is the height of the bed is ridiculous - I had to climb over the sofa at the foot to spring up onto the mattress. But - it was very comfortable. We had a beautiful view of the bluff from our private porch and rocking chairs. There was hot tea and snacks available 24/7, which was so nice after a day hiking. The neighborhood is great - houses are a bargain - which is why we'll give serious consideration to a move if it makes sense when the time comes. Dawn, the owner, is lovely and kind and takes a lot of pride in treating guests specially. We will definitely be back!

The Lodge at Gorham's Bluff is a secret gem in Northeast Alabama…read more The lodge is the center of a small town composed of personal and public houses/cabins. There are hiking trails, bikes and a pool for the small community. The Lodge itself is a bed and breakfast and intended for relaxing. While the cabins have televisions, the lodge rooms do not. There is a center area downstairs with an older television but this is a place for unwinding and personal time. There is wifi but the connection is teneous at best. Several of the Lodge rooms have private balconies that overlook the bluff. The Lodge is at the highest point of a mountain and overlooks the TN river. Truly amazing views. Hawks and vultures fly low over the bluff and swallows have a small community there and provide a constant source of movement. The Lodge itself features a small restaurant. It offers breakfast, lunch boxes (for pickup) and a dinner prepared by a phenomenal chef. For every guest, a custom menu is printed up for dinner and there are typically two choices offered for appetizer, entree and dessert. Prices range from 60 - 80 a person depending if you want both appetizers (3 v 4 course meal). I've had the caprese salad, tomato soup, steak, pork chop and the chocolate dessert in the three or so meals I've had there. All of the food is amazing but the pork chop is the best thing by far - and not only at the Lodge. Depending on the crowd, there will also be a piano player performing in the dining room. I do not recommend the lunchbox. You don't get a choice of what type of sandwich - I ended up paying 42 dollars for two lunchboxes with a duck sandwich, bag of chips, cookie, pasta salad and an apple. I do not like duck and wasn't prepared for a non-typical meat on a sandwich. I wasn't offered any substitute or refund when I told them I didn't eat duck. Regardless, 42 is too much for a lunchbox for two. There isn't a grocery store nearby though so if you don't want to eat there, recommend bringing your own food. Cabins have full kitchens. Lodge does not nor does it have personal fridges in the room. There is one in the pantry area for the guests though. Tip: Explore the trails along the bluff and walk in the woods to the treehouse. Easy hikes but fun to explore. If you have bug issues, recommend staying at the Lodge. The cabins are bug free but have a lot of spiders and insects on the outside. A lot. This is a great place for lovers and families. It's not too crowded and close to Huntsville but offers a true get away experience.

We stumbled upon this sweet gem while planning our trip to TN. While we originally planned on only…read moregoing to Nashville, we booked two nights here as a side trip and happy we did. It's located on Lookout Mountain, which has a ton of historic significance and we enjoyed learning more at the National Park. Rock City is across the street from the Inn and it was also interesting to stroll through. The Inn itself is quaint and cozy. The main building has a few guest rooms but most are in cottages dotted around the property. Ours was sweet and the bed comfy. Our only issue was the TV cable didn't work and wasn't repaired during our trip. The jetted tub also didn't have functioning hot water and it would've taken too long to fill using the shower, so it went unused. Both of these items would've been much welcomed following a very long travel day from the west coast. Overall very nice.

We had the privilege of speaking with Lynn, the owner, and she was so helpful and friendly. The inn was clean and beautifully decorated. Everything is within convenient driving distance. We will definitely visit again!

The location canNOT be beat - right across from the lake with great access to hiking trails and fishing holes. Even just walking and "setting" along the dam was so nice and breezy. Porch setting with a great view of the lake was relaxing. The beds are comfortable (if a bit high for this 5'3" short-legged lady) and the homemade quiche for breakfast was super creamy, with some berries for extra fiber. The owners served breakfast and though did *NOT* REQUIRE masks for Covid protection, they did wear masks and also showed off their extra-disinfectant machine and other anti-Covid preparations that they were taking. VERY affordable for us ~ $130+taxes and fees for 1 Friday night during Covid, I'm not sure if that was a lower price due to quarantine but it was a definite value from our perspective. I highly recommend this stop to people who want to spend time in Cartersville or at Lake Allatoona or are just passing through and want a non-hotel experience - you will love it!!

This cabin is also great for star gazing as well. There is a cat that made visits nightly he was very friendly and lovable! Also don't worry about buying spices they have the main ones you need wish I would have checked before going shopping. If your looking for a good place to eat we suggest Sally's smokin butt bbq they have amazing bbq , good prices and the best brisket either one of us have ever tasted. They also have yummy bbq sauces!
