Guest Reviews

An excellent experience from start to finish. Our adult children treated us to an amazing weekend with them in the Huntsman Guesthouse. It was posh, but comfortable and a very, very pleasant experience all around. Full breakfast included daily in the main house plus a treat delivered to the door every afternoon.

This was the most romantic inn I’ve ever stayed. The room was enchanting and the staff was kind and accommodating. This place is absolutely beautiful and immaculate.

The Inn is spotless, the rooms each have their own Southern inspired design and the bedding...See More

And bountiful breakfasts are motivation to rise early…with a big appetite. If you are inclined to wander off, the shops, restaurants, and bars of Versailles...See More

I didn't stay here, but I'm just so grateful Story Inn Bed and Breakfast is generous enough to let "not overnight guest" use the charger. It was my first time of "almost running out of range" in 3 years of road trip. An accident on my route caused a stand still traffic for a while, and when the traffic officials showed up, they made us cross the median to...See More
