Words don't describe how I feel right now leaving this place. I have a good life at home with a dog and a great job, but I can honestly say I simply don't wanna leave. My mom died almost two years ago and I have not had a vacation since before being her caregiver in her last days. I never expected this few days get away to be so exactly what I needed. The owners. So warm and welcoming. They truly make you feel at home. I can't say enough good things about Will and Jennifer. The staff. Omgoodness. They have this sweet lady who cooks, cleans, and anything else you need who has worked there for 18 years. After she takes care of you she goes and gives care to her elderly Mother. I'm convinced she is an angel. Thank you Kathy for everything. The cabins. Private. Clean. You really feel like you step back in time but you don't have to give up your high speed Internet either. They are simply magical. The jacuzzi tub doesn't hurt either. The grounds. Completely perfect. Everything is spaced out but you don't have to travel far to get to the lake or take a hike. Our cabin literally had a view of Pilot mountain. There are grills to cookout. Free canoe, rowboat, and paddle boats. A gorgeous pool and a sauna that is something from the past. In a good way. I have never wanted to give something six stars before, but if I could I would give Pilot Knob Inn atleast that many. I can not wait to return to that little slice of heaven. read more

We loved the hospitality and kindness of Kathy and Jennifer. The made to order breakfast was delicious! We loved rocking on the front porch and watching the deer and turkeys. It was the perfect quiet getaway! We highly recommend and can't wait to come back!! read more

I absolutely love this place it's so quaint the cabins are made from old tobacco barns and they are absolutely gorgeous inside very cozy and inviting with fireplaces some of the rooms have hot tubs and all the rooms have hot tub style Jacuzzi bathtubs. We got stuck twice on the road and the owner came with his own vehicle and pulled us out because it snowed right before we came he was so nice and so great about the whole thing if I could give this place 10 Stars I would it's a hidden gym right close to Mount airy / Mayberry which is a cute little town has plenty of shopping and some really good Mexican food! read more

Mattress was wore out! No one ever spoke to us. We read these glowing reviews of Pilot Knob Inn and don't know where these people stayed. Yes, the cabins were old. That's OK. The furniture is a little stressed, but also. Then you get to the bed. Yikes! The mattress sagged in the middle. Threads were coming out. I sat on it and the box springs squeaked. They attempted to hide the wore out mattress with a memory foam pad on top. Please dump the mattress and buy a real one! After all, this advertises as a "Bed" and breakfast. The other strange thing, no one ever checked on us to see if we were OK. Never met the owner or anyone. We felt very uncomfortable and out of place. We actually drove into town to find a hotel. Decided against it as we couldn't get our money back. No idea how breakfast might have been as we left at 5:15 am just to get away. Very strange stay. read more

Awesome love the setting, love the tobacco barn accommodations, food was delicious ... Love the things to do in the area. read more

Recommended to me and looking forward to recommending it to others! Location was convenient, right off the highway. Buildings/rooms were unique and comfortable. Hot Tub was great and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great and filling with some many options! Staff was wonderful and breakfast was the only interaction was needed. read more

This is not a traditional bed and breakfast. We stayed in the "Heavenly Hideaway" suite and it wasn't so heavenly. The outside wall is made of glass block. There is a cabin outside directly across from the glass block wall with decorative lights on the porch that were on all night long. It was brighter than Florida in our room all night long. The bed was terrible, so even if the room wasn't lit up like a spot light all night, we wouldn't have slept. The room abuts the kitchen so around 6:30 in the morning we began hearing the banging and clanging of dishes. Secondly, the paper that was left for us at the little shack at the front specifically said breakfast would be served between 8:30 and 9:30. We got there at 8:35 and sat down. The room was already full. Around 8:45 the lady came to take our order? (Not how a traditional bed and breakfast works!) She informed us they had a waffle, toast, a variety of bagels, they were out of hash browns and bacon, because they only make so much, and they had eggs, and other kinds of meats to choose from. Then she told us that she didn't want to give the cook another order yet because she would "go crazy" because she was already so busy! Huh?! She told another table that she had the same offerings she had the day before, again not how a traditional bed and breakfast works. I would have definitely skipped the $5 worth of waffle and Canadian bacon for a real breakfast somewhere else for the $20 they charged. The breakfast room faces 52 and with the trees not having leaves right now, you can see all the cars on the road. We also wanted to go in the sauna that others had mentioned in their reviews. HA! It was full of spider webs and who knows what other critters and there was a puddle of water on the floor. Upon leaving this morning, the paper with directions on it told us to gather up our own garbage (because "they don't want to touch our garbage") and leave the garbage outside of the door. Then the paper goes on about how we should tip Kathy for making our stay amazing!! WHAT?! Needless to say, whoever Kathy is didn't get a tip from us and our stay fell far short of amazing!! I imagine the cabins on the property would be neat to stay in but I would not advise staying in the "suites" or staying for the breakfast! read more

Pilot Knob Inn - The glass block wall in the "Heavenly Hideaway" - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Pinnacle, North Carolina

Husband and I made a spontaneous trip to PIlot Knob and found this Inn. It was wonderful! The room was really rustic and unusual, with all the amenities. So comfortable, with a fire place, a large deck with chairs overlooking the forest, refrigerator and coffee maker, oh and great breakfast! All the cabins looked special, private, and comfy. And Jennifer (the owner) and Kathy (the housekeeper and cook) were just super friendly, warm and welcoming. We are already planning our next trip back. The inn is close to dozens of wineries and various outdoor things to do. Try it - you'll love it! read more

Holy cow - I can't believe only one person has yelped this place before me! Let me say that the other reviewer, Samantha, was totally on target. The cabins are PERFECT for a couple!!! The grounds are lovely and you need to make some day trips to the local Mayberry places - the Pilot Mountain for sure since you are right next door - the town of Pilot Mountain which has some good places to eat and some cute shops - and, last but not least, Mount Airy which was the home of Andy Griffith. My suggestion is to make your reservation in advance as during many months it is fully booked. Bring some wine - for sure! I suggest you stay at least two nights so you can fully enjoy the surroundings. Lastly, enjoy your stay, it's like going back in time! read more

Beautiful property! We've stayed here a couple times and just love it. Kathy does a great job cleaning the cabins and fixing breakfast every morning. She always has fresh fruits and full breakfast, made to order. I highly recommend!! read more

A great place. This is our first time staying here. It is very quite and the room is just right. We would recommend this place and giving it high marks. read more

This B&B is a hidden gem in the Pilot Mt area of NC. It is not a typical bed and breakfast but has a magical touch in each individually decorated cabin or room. We stayed in the Castle Room, which we understand was a library, and does have lots of books! The room was very clean and almost whimsical! A couch and reading chair, TV, and a king size bed! The bed was high for me (OK I am 5ft tall) but a step stool was provided! The mattress was firm, but gave a comfy nights sleep. The large bathroom had a spa/shower tub that worked wonderfully and a personal sauna (we didn't use it, but could have). The tub was deep and sides high, so if you need a step in shower, just ask when making reservations because other rooms have that. We also noticed the soft large bath towels! Our room was quiet and , actually, just wonderful! We also had a nice porch with 2 adorondack rockers, which we did spend time on. You could hear the highway noise when outside (not inside) some but the birds, crickets, and chirps of frogs quickly enabled you to tune out the background noise! They had a pool that was clean and inviting and a sauna was by the pool also. The breakfast although not gourmet, I would call it a Hearty American Breakfast, included a choice of eggs, bacon, sausage, breads, bagles, english muffins, etc... As well as a breakfast bar with a variety of cereals, yogurts, sweet breads, brownies etc..., and you have to try their apple pie! Teas and coffee are also available. You leave quite full!! They won't go in your room but if you need anything done, like towels or trash emptied, all you need to do is ask at breakfast and it will be taken care of. Would we go back? Absolutely! We can't wait to plan our next visit! read more

I LOVE this place! We first went about 5 years ago and went back in November. It was exactly 5 years later. The cabins and rooms are just so cozy and beautiful! Everyone is very nice and for a bed and breakfast I didn't feel pressured to get out and do something for the day. I wanted to do nothing! At breakfast hubby got a basket and brought it back to the room. It was simple and yummy. I tell my family and friends about this B&B all the time. read more

This was such a nice relaxing getaway, the atmosphere is so serene. The staff Jennifer and Joline made you feel so welcome. We will return for certain! Love the secluded nature feeling which is so much more relaxing than a motel. All COVID issues were being carried out with the social distancing. Recommend for certain! read more

Place is amazing! Although it's been raining all morning, we're still enjoying the rocking chairs on the porch at Cabin #2. Whatever you do while you're here, don't skip out on the breakfast. It was simple and great. For a random middle of the week getaway, we chose the right place. Don't miss out on something fun and romantic! read more

Pilot Knob Inn - Cabin #2. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Pinnacle, North Carolina

Such a great place to stay out in a secluded wooded area. We Stayed 1 night for my boyfriend's birthday. The cabin was great & has everything you'll need. I suggest you bring an extra blanket in the colder months. The only thing was that the toilet was just about on the floor, so it's kinda hard to use, but if that's the only bad thing....that's great. I also suggest you get the cheesecake for 2 because it was the best cheesecake we've had that didn't come out of mine or my mom's kitchen. We had a wonderful breakfast. They have a huge sideboard full of fruit, yogurt, granola and pastries. We both had made to order eggs, bacon, hashbrowns & a waffle. Everything was fabulous, but the waffle made your tongue want to smack your brains out! The 2 women who were working were wonderful. They treated us like family and best friends. You won't regret going here. read more

Love this place! Relaxing and the breakfast is fantastic ! The only down side is the bathroom in the cottage this is my second time here and the jacuzzi is never clean ... read more

This off the beaten path bed and breakfast facility was definitely private and rustic. The cabins are old.... very old and need a great deal of TLC. Bed squeeky, torn sofa upholstery, rust and mold in bathroom and overall decor very dated. Refrigerator did not cool and cabins get quite warm although ac does eventually cool it down. Beautiful view of Pilot mountain and friendly cook for in- person breakfast. What a great chance to eat breakfast in person during COVID. Lots to do in area for recreation, back roads sightseeing, hiking,golf etc. If you want to get away, this is the place but be prepared for shabby, yet pricey accommodations. read more

This place is super cute, perfectly clean, and nicely run. Don't miss out on the great breakfast! They have just about anything you might want to eat. We stayed in Cabin 3 and loved the private balcony on the back with gorgeous wooded views. There is a nice pool on the property, too, so bring your swimsuit. read more

We LOVE the Pilot Knobb inn! We stayed here a couple months ago and rented the Love Shack and we just left from renting the Penthouse Suite. Both trips were amazing, the cabins and suites are very clean, they have everything you need and the made to order breakfast is an added bonus! We will be back for future celebrations and random get always, we want to try every room they have! They have a private pond with paddle boats and fishing, just an all around relaxing time read more

We're do you start. We stayed in cabin 2 for three nights I don't wànt to leave!!!!. Had breakfast every morning made by Kathy with fresh fruit and breakfast plates eggs and bacon, toast. We have seen deer everyday plus at the pond went fishing and saw a snapping turtle stroll right by me. The cabins are rustic and peaceful, however you can hear some highway noise. Great place to kick back and relax. They do have WiFi. Also they have Direct TV but never turned it on didn't even have withdrawal symptoms. This is the place to come with the one you love. Can't wait to come back. .. . read more

This was a weekend getaway surprise from my wife for my 34th birthday. I had no idea what we were doing or where we were going until we got here. After 2 nights, we don't want to leave! The breakfast is amazing, the cabins are great and the whole experience was perfect. It's not a perfect lost in the woods since you can still hear the highway traffic from time to time, but it did not distract from the experience one bit. No hassle checkin and great service (but only really saw anyone at breakfast). We will be back. It's not a hotel, it's not a campground, it's not a traditional B&B... But it is perfectly unique with just enough of a touch of everything. You can usually get the pool to yourself, we didn't try the sauna as it felt like one already this summer, the lake is beautiful, the trails are a fun hike, the jacuzzi tub in the cabin was awesome! I don't know what else to say, we absolutely loved our time here! read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way to Myrtle beach. We loved this this place! The cabin (love shack) was perfect! We both really liked our breakfast, and the set up. They made us feel right at home! We would stay here again :) read more

Stellar experience start to finish! Beautiful location, delicious breakfast, and perfect relaxing getaway. We stayed in cabin No. 6 - the Yadkin Valley Honeymoon Suite. This was the first 24 hour stretch my wife & I have been alone together as a couple since our son was born nearly 20 months ago. We couldn't imagine a more restorative experience, especially with so much jacuzzi time! Easy to check in & out. Thank you for the miraculous relaxation we had here that we now take home to our toddler, refreshed to continue our parenting journey...! read more
