  • Historical information about the Inn or the surrounding area
  • Some hosts offer recipes they use in the Inn
  • A list of area churches and service times
  • Good conversation



We stayed at a The Inn On Main Street several years ago in Weaverville, North Carolina and without fail every year we get a friendly email from the owner thanking us for staying there and inviting us to come and visit again. That's a real nice touch.

Our stay there was wonderful. The Inn Keepers, Nancy and Dan, came out to great us as we arrived and were very warm and friendly. They showed us around their Bed & Breakfast and were very good hosts. We asked them where a good place to eat dinner was and they gave us several choices.

The Inn On Main Street was just a 15 minute drive away from The Biltmore House where we planned to visit the following day. Nancy and Dan told us the best way to go and also had some brochures available for us. After a day of walking around The Biltmore Estate and the streets of Asheville, it was great to come back to the quaint town of Weaverville and relax on the porch with the other guests at The Inn On Main Street.

The next morning we had a wonderful home cooked breakfast of frittatas, made-from-scratch muffins and fruit. We really didn't want to leave this wonderful place, but our weekend was over and we had to return to reality. We look forward to returning there again for another relaxing weekend sometime soon.

My wife and I have also stayed at some great B&B's.

One of our best experiences was in Perth, Ontario this summer, where we stayed at the Perth Manor. It was a lovely old home with a huge room and a smaller one added on to it (perfect for the princess)and fantastic food for breakfast.

The owners were away but the manager went out of her way to show us around and recommended an excelent restaurant for dinner.
