    Magical Mojito
    Nicole H.

    I'll have to visit this place again because we were only pleased with the grits and drinks. The grits (not pictured) are stoned grits with a lot of flavor. The drinks and the bartender were phenomenal. I also think the service was great but the food was disappointing. I hate sending food back but I couldn't resist. The waffles were cold and hard, the chicken was dry. Even the comp meal (chicken and biscuits) were disappointing. The waitress advised the kitchen issue was due to them having a large party. She encouraged us to try them again. Everybody has bad days...I'll update when we try them again.

    Omelette, classic egg Benedict, pancakes

    We had the absolute best brunch this past weekend here! The food was absolutely incredible and amazing service from Gary. Truly an amazing experience on food, service, and atmosphere!

    I loved the blackberry raspberry tea so much I wanted to take some home... not the only one to think so; shoppe was sold out.

    We had an author tea here for about 50 people and the event was amazing, the service was attentive, and the food was delicious. I ate every single crumb of the 5 different things on my plate. My favorite was the leaf-shaped pie crust cookies. And I loved the blackberry raspberry tea so much I tried to buy some to take home... not the only one to try that; the shoppe was sold out. Austin was our host and even took some people on a tour of the B&B rooms. We were spread over several rooms but still could see & hear our speaker; there also was a lovely sitting room for just chatting. I was impressed with how quickly they got food out to everyone basically at the same time; no small feat for a big group and a small kitchen. I hear great things about their meals as well.

    Such a special place, with so much character and charm!! & The best pancakes ever, oh my gosh!

    We hosted our baby shower here this past weekend and I can't rave enough about the entire venue! To start, Kelli was an amazing communicator from the start. She made everything very clear and was super flexible with our preferences. The room itself was so lovely, spacious, and they assisted with all the tables and food setup. Speaking of the food...it was incredible!! I thought it would be good but they surpassed our expectations! We had mini chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, mini chicken salad and cucumber sandwiches and a bruschetta. Everything was setup so beautifully and the full bar was a hit with our guests! The bar tender even made a signature cocktail named after our baby's nickname (so cute!) If that's not enough, they also assisted throughout our shower, serving, helping our guests, cleaning up. Speaking of cleaning, they do basically everything, it was just so wonderful! I can't say enough about Kelli and her team and I highly recommend The Shaffner Inn as an event venue!! Also, a few of our out of town guests stayed at the Inn and they could not stop bragging about the rooms, service, and the staff overall. We were so pleased!!!

I mean, we didn't hear one squeak in any floorboard! Talkin' rustic and solid - a wonderful combination. This Inn has impeccable cleanliness and tasteful décor of every room. We came with another couple who are regular guests at B&B's all over the USA. They were decisively impressed. We came for the nearby Yadkin Valley wineries but found simply hanging out at A Mighty Oak to be quite pleasant. We sat on rocking chairs on the 2nd floor covered porch as we read or just talked as the stars emerged in the sky. Then we ascended to the 3rd floor for games (ping-pong, board games, TV sports) and reviewed the substantial bookcase. Of course, a huge facet of any B&B is the proprietor. We all recognize a passion for excellence when we experience one. It's there in spades with Todd, showing up in attentiveness to our needs and a pleasant, playful grace about him and his wife Lisa. And we saw his excellence in that 2nd "B" in B&B. We're talking as close to farm-to-table as it gets since the B&B's rear acreage is home to cows, chicken and plants. And, uh FYI, no smell in the air. Match freshness with culinary excellence and you've got an Rx for memorable breakfasts. I mean, I had never had a Scottish Egg and can't wait to see what Todd has up his sleeve next time! A passion for excellence shows up in every aspect of a business, but when it's a B&B, it can become quite special since they're sort of personal - I mean one actually lives there albeit for one or two nights. A Mighty Oak is indeed one special place. We will definitely return for our Mighty Oak state-of-mind fix!!

From the moment you walk through the door, you are welcomed by some of the friendliest, most accommodating, and genuinely lovely people imaginable. There was never a moment where they didn't go out of their way to help make our stay comfortable and memorable. Ray, especially, was exceptional. He was there every day making sure everything was perfect and continually went above and beyond to make our stay feel special and personal. The Manor itself is absolutely charming -- creative, warm, and filled with character. Everywhere you looked was a feast for the eyes, with thoughtful details and beautiful touches throughout. Now that my niece has graduated, we technically have no reason to visit High Point anymore -- but honestly, a return trip would be worth it just for another stay at the Manor. It felt less like staying somewhere and more like being part of something truly special.

    What a gem! This place is the crown jewel of High Point. It has a wonderful restoration story with…read moreso many fantastic original features, gorgeous materials throughout, hand-painted drapes, and luxurious bedding (the bed and bedding could not have been more comfortable). The sound of the pretty fountain out front and of finches and other birds around the grounds is transportive as is the lobby's wallpaper, the loveliest textured bird pattern. Delicious chocolates greeted me upon arrival in my room, and tasty granola bars that appeared to be hand-made were provided to grab on my way out. So many little touches like that made Pandora's exceptional, and I wish that beautiful Manor another hundred years!

The home is cute and up to date in the small little town of Madison. It is the perfect location to their Main Street where our friends wedding was. The couple that own the home are so friendly and overly accommodating. They went out of their way to make our few hours there perfect. We arrived early in the morning so we could see the town and do a little shopping. Our room was ready by 10:30 when we called. We were greeted by three friendly cocker spaniels, who get to roam the house freely which should be noted if you aren't a dog person or are allergic but we didn't mind. We had the opportunity to choose the room we wanted (I am totally blanking on names right now) and we're offered the larger bathroom since we needed to get ready for a wedding. We decided on our original room for the space. Everything was clean and had that "mommas house" smell. The one where the linens are freshly pressed and the towels are hot out of the dryer. We made some small talk and were offered a tray of water and some fresh fruit! We were also given food advice as we were starving from our drive and we ended up at Fuzzys bbq. Her husband, John, was just as accommodating. He offered coffee, bottled water and several snacks for our trip home! They were so kind and I highly suggest supporting this couples BnB. If we ever get the chance to go back we def will!

We did not know much about the area, or the history of the house. The hosts were wonderful and so very accommodating. They provided lots of detail of what is available in the area and details on the house history. We were able to tour every room. I asked where they placed the Christmas tree, as this cozy, inviting place would be perfect around the holidays. Turns out, they place several trees. Also, would consider a late spring/summer stay as there is a beautiful backyard with in-ground pool. Look forward to future stays.

Pat & Tom, the owners were personable and informative about the area and the B&B. Although transplants themselves you can appreciate their knowledge of the area and know that this is home for them now. Eight rooms, each with their own bathroom and unique personality. Our room, a 1st floor spacious bedroom with a queen bed & twin day bed and trundle. Enough room for 3-4 comfortably. Modest bathroom with built in storage shelves, sink, toilet and vintage claw foot tub with a modern shower head. Breakfast at B&Bs are one of the highlights of the stay. Here was no different. To start, Greek yogurt with honey, fresh diced fruit (apples & oranges), and warm zucchini bread. Followed by a vegetable omelette, sliced strawberries, roasted potatoes and tomatoes. Seasoned to taste, appetizing and filling. Drink options varied from coffee, tea and juices. Charming B&B that I would recommend if you want to stay in a home-style environment with personal attention, great conversation, snacks, drinks and above par b/fast to fill you up.

This hotel is located in the heart of downtown inside the original RJR building. The front desk staff are all professional, friendly and kind, each encounter with desk staff was exceptional. Valet parking is the only real option, unless you want to drive around looking for a limited parking spot. All of the valet team are professional, courteous and timely each went above and beyond for us. Very comfortable accommodations. We stayed in a king room the first time for a weekend and a king suite for the weeks stay. Both are comfortable, the suite's size and separate seating area definitely make it worth the difference if your stay is extended. King bed, very comfortable, quality linens, very quiet soundproofing with high ceilings and heavy drapery with modern minimalist wall decor. The bathrooms in both are nice the suite, another level of comfort. Walk in large shower with a vessel tub within the shower enclosure.

Better than most. 4 Stars rounded up a full star for the steller staff here from the front desk, to valet team, housekeeping and room service everyone makes your stay here better. 01150
