The property was gorgeous and Russell and Jim were as charming as ever! They were so welcoming. We felt like we were family. Oh and the food….breakfast was amazing!!
Russell and Jim are great hosts. Our room was clean and the bottle water and cookies were greatly appreciated. The breakfasts were delicious. Very convenient place to stay for walking around town. Enjoyed sitting on the upper porch in the evening.
Charming bed and breakfast. The owners/hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the property. The gardens outside were lovely. Breakfast was delightful with coffee served in real chinaware and flowers on the table!
The extra cost is well worth it. Such a different experience from staying at a chain hotel. Made for some great memories!!
Our recent stay at the Carrier house in Rutherfordton was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful inside and out – exterior is perfectly maintained with an adorable garden. That makes a charming first impression. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed, blending historical character with tasteful modern amenities. Jim and Russell are exceptional host. They took the time to share the fascinating history of the house and even told us about the background of our individual room, which made our stay even more special. We spent two nights here and are still talking about how amazing the breakfast were – truly some of the best we’ve had at a B&B! Our room was spacious, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt warm and Homie. This is easily one of the best bed-and-breakfast as we stayed at this year. We can’t wait to return!
I liked the comfortable rooms and kitchen amenities
The welcoming staff and the luxury breakfast I was treated to. I should have picked a lengthier stay with this one.
Everything was excellent!
Friendly and very knowledgable about history of home. Breakfast was always amazing! Great location, beautiful property and room was very comfortable.
It was a wonderful stay in historic downtown Rutherfordton, NC. We enjoyed our stay and breakfast every morning was an excellent adventure thanks to Jim and Russell.
Pre Civil War house near downtown . Several restaurants within walking distance. Lovingly cared for home with beautiful flowers.
Outstanding breakfast !
Charming hosts who gave excellent advice on biking, dining, etc.
Russell and Jim are incredible! Their attention to detail is visible everywhere. Jim accommodated our vegan requests with great culinary skill. Our room was comfortable, and obviously extremely well maintained. We look forward to returning, as we felt as though we were visiting with family. We were there to enjoy the Earl Scruggs Music Festival and were delighted to see the lights on when we arrived home some nights after midnight!
Hospitality of owners was phenomenal! Breakfast was fresh and delicious. History of the home well documented and interesting. Beautiful outdoor gardens and comfortable front porch. No complaints!
The Carrier House is everything I could have wished for in a bed and breakfast: starting with a warm welcome from our 2 host and owners, followed be the enchanting landscaping as well as a charming 19th Century Inn. Our breakfast was memorable for the good company, the dishes presentation and of course the taste!
