This is an amazing inn and it is an experience to be had rather than just a place to spend the night. Themed rooms, antique items and furniture and old books, and random interesting items to check out. Historic building.

This place was SO perfect for our son's graduation . We avoided the high prices in Fayetteville and it was a short drive to the activities there. The Inn gives a charming European hostel vibe with such a sweet and helpful hostess who gave us recommendations for short hikes and walks around the area, to a local swimming hole and to the farmers market. Wonderful sitting areas.

The place is a little creepy and the HVAC units make inconsistent noises… which wasn’t helpful for a good night sleep. In the morning, I noticed that there were at plugs available in several tables. Those would have helped. The place is pretty cool. They’ve done a great job of making look 100 years old.

Housekeeping was below what I expected. There dust bunnies under the bed and dead bugs on the sills. The breakfast items were minimal and dated-coffee beans were 2 years old. Very roomy and quiet since we were the only ones there. Very good bathroom facilities.

Originally, we booked adjoining rooms, but as it turns out, we were the only ones there. We asked to change rooms because the one room in particular, # 4, was creepy. The price difference was not really discussed, so we ended up paying a lot more. That being said, the place is beautifully restored and maintained. There are no TV’s, so a nice unwind. Oh, no elevator either, so make sure you can carry your own bag up the stairs.

An adventure to remember

We had the most interesting an friendly stay at B & L. It was like staying in a curated historic boarding house. Leslie the owner/manager/decorator/"tour guide", was so helpful and patience with our group of 10 friends. each room was themed after a part of her family heritage and experiences. I highly recommend staying there.
