I stayed here for a work retreat over three days and had the absolute best stay! Not only is this property beautifully appointed and maintained, but the staff was friendly and helpful every day. We are a variety of meals on the property, including breakfast each morning. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the peanut butter heath bar cookies that awaited us in our rooms.

This classic bed-and-breakfast couldn’t have been any more lovely. The linens were beautiful, the rooms were beautiful, and breakfast was so delicious. The service provided was unmatched. Kathy was our point of contact and was in charge of service and was incredible. Her breakfast was so tasty. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

One of the best stays we’ve ever had. Every detail was beautifully thought out—from the stunning room (robes, full-length mirror, cookies!) to the warm service, fresh afternoon coffee, easy-to-use digital guide, and deliciously fresh breakfast. Morning coffee delivered by text, personal touches everywhere, and even the most adorable miniature donkeys in a nearby pasture. If you appreciate thoughtful details, you’ll love this place. Thank you, Matt and Kedri!

I stayed at the South Mountain Inn twice this summer, and both visits were wonderful. The inn and its grounds are absolutely beautiful. You feel like you're on vacation the moment you drive up the long driveway. Breakfast is incredible, and Matt and Kedri are fantastic hosts. I can’t wait to come back!
