I rarely ever leave reviews, but what my family and I experienced at this venue deserves to be known. This was supposed to be a beautiful, joyful weekend celebrating my cousin's wedding in Alexander City, Alabama. Family members traveled from all over, some driving over ten hours, others flying in, just to be there. The property itself was absolutely stunning, but the owners' behavior completely ruined any chance of it being the special and happy weekend it was meant to be. From the moment we arrived, the woman who owns the bed and breakfast was immediately rude, condescending, and unwelcoming, an attitude that carried throughout the entire weekend. She spoke to guests like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. During the rehearsal, both owners micromanaged everything, constantly interrupting, yelling, and talking down to the bridal party as if it were their wedding. We were all there to celebrate and help, but their behavior made everyone uncomfortable . It didn't stop there. At one point, my sister's two children were playing a game on their Nintendo Switch in the living room. The woman actually went over and scolded my nephew, telling him to give his brother a turn because she was "tired of hearing him scream." Then, unbelievably, she came back with a TIMER and told the kids they had to take turns. Who in their right mind disciplines guests' children like that? The entire family was shocked that she thought that kind of overstepping was acceptable. Another disturbing moment was when my three-year-old daughter needed to use the restroom. She ran up the steps toward the bathroom we had just used an hour earlier, and before she could even get inside, the same woman stopped her and said, "No, no, no, you need to turn around and go back to your adult." The woman clearly didn't know I was walking around the corner and overheard this. My child was about to have an accident, and this woman was more concerned with controlling people than being kind or accommodating. It was truly unbelievable. To make matters worse, the male owner MOVED MY CAR without permission, claiming it was for parking purposes, yet by the end of the night, the space was empty. They THREW AWAY over $500 worth of catering that the family had paid for, simply because they "didn't want it sitting out." Their controlling attitude and lack of respect were beyond anything I've ever experienced. And the final straw? During the reception, the female owner snatched a microphone out of a guest's hand mid-song, claiming "we don't do karaoke here," despite the fact that karaoke had been going on for hours with the bride and groom's full permission. When confronted, she and her husband escalated the situation and actually had a member of the family kicked out of the wedding The rest of us left in protest. It was heartbreaking to see such an important day end in chaos because of two people who should never be in the hospitality business. This venue is physically beautiful, but beauty means nothing when it's run by people who treat guests so poorly. The owners are controlling, unprofessional, and completely out of touch with how to treat others. They ruined what should have been one of the happiest days of our family's life, and that's something we'll never forget. If you're considering booking your wedding or event here, please don't. No matter how pretty the pictures look, the experience behind them is anything but. You deserve better than to have your once-in-a-lifetime day destroyed by people like this. read more

What a great little B&B gem nestled in the quiet town of Alexander City! Ed and Jen were most gracious of hosts and made our whole family feel comfortable and most importantly at home! The house was built in 1895 and although it remained in the family for a little over a century it now rests easy in the more than capable hands of its new owners! The rooms were spacious, very well decorated, and organized, as well the rest of the house! We were there just before Christmas and the decor definitely lived up to every bit of the name Mistletoe! The homemade breakfast was yummy and and absolute treat to look forward to every morning! There is a very nice libation hour that had light snacks and a selection of great wines! If you are looking to get away and relax look no further than this place! We will definitely be coming back! Oh and did I mention they love pets!! Thank you Ed and Jennifer!! read more

I've never stayed at a B&B before so I was a little scared plus I can be shy around people and the thought of staying in someone's home kind of freaked me out but JoAnn is magic. From the moment we arrived on her back porch I felt safe and welcomed. The home is 120 years of awesomeness with tons of cute details and a few Christmas lights, even in August! The inn was full the night we stayed there but I loved interacting with the other guests. It was a unique experience. We stayed in the Sunshine Suite and it had the most comfortable king sized bed and a tiny private bathroom. I slept like a baby and we were right next to the coffee station so we were able to wake up and brew a cup to drink while we meandered around the house and porch. Then JoAnn made us a delicious hot breakfast of sausage and French toast casserole with fresh fruit from her lovely kitchen. We sat at the breakfast table for an hour laughing with the other guests and JoAnn and her husband Sheriff Jesse. They've had a full life and have plenty of good stories to break the ice. I wish we lived closer to the Mistletoe. It's just an all around great experience. The other guests were regulars and they told us Christmas time is extra Christmasey at the inn as JoAnn loves Christmas. I plan to talk my husband into the four and a half hour drive to Alexander City because YES! It really is the charming. read more

The furniture is breathtaking and the beds are SO comfortable. Breakfast was amazing (she made a quiche that was fantastic). Seriously, I can't say enough about how awesome this place is!!! read more
