Not a True Bed & BreakfastâThis Is a Wedding Venue First and Foremost
We booked this place expecting a romantic bed and breakfast, but itâs clearly now a full-time wedding venue that happens to rent rooms. The entire property was staged for a weddingâincluding a fake wedding cakeâmaking it feel awkward, not cozy.
Their website lists amenities that either donât exist or are no longer maintained. Thereâs no pool anymore (itâs been filled in), but old reviews and photos still suggest otherwise. The advertised âSouthern Sipping Hourâ never happened. The patio grill was dirty and unusable, the TV didnât work, and there were no plates as mentioned on the site. Promised pastries at check-in? Also missing.
We texted the innkeeper with our concerns and got no reply. When we saw a man walk by (who never introduced himself), we found out he was the owner. He offered excuses but no solutions, and refused any refundâeven though we hadnât brought in our bags yet.
This might be a great wedding venue, but itâs misleading to promote it as a traditional B&B. It felt like we were house-sitting a wedding setup, not enjoying a relaxing getaway. Weâre easygoing travelers, but the lack of transparency and poor communication made this a disappointing experience. Future guests deserve to know what theyâre actually booking.
