Mansfield Plantation

photocardsB_02.jpgI've always loved this inn and the things people have told me about their experience here but this guest said it vibrantly.

We spent a wonderful four-day getaway at the plantation. This magical place is out of a movie. Everything you need for a unique Southern experience is right here--from the live oaks on this former rice plantation to the hospitality provided by innkeeper Ms. Kathryn  Green. You cannot go wrong here if you are in search of a truly special experience. - Mike & Anke
Wedding.jpgToday a newly wed couple wrote in to tell us about their wedding at Victorian Lace Bed & Breakfast in Marion, Iowa

"We went to Victorian Lace to get Married and spend the night in the honeymoon suite, WOW we had a great time Reverend James performed a very romantic service, it was light and had a little humor. we both cried just a little. The Honeymoon suite was more then we expected; Jacuzzi whirlpool, free beer, and the heated pool was great. This was a great wedding and the start of a wonderful Honeymoon.

Rev. James goes the extra mile and includes in his $175 wedding a beautiful old-fashioned Iowa wedding license for couples as a special keepsake. He believes, "A wedding is a celebration, not a funeral, so I make it fun." 

The innkeeper has a romance of his own as he returned to Iowa from California a few years ago and married his kindergarden sweetheart, Renee.

Innkeepers all over the United States offer economical wedding packages in their destination towns and bucolic villages and while most are not ministers, they know who to bring to the inn to perform a perfect wedding.

A Perfect Getaway

Tiffany Hill.jpg
"I had been hinting for over a year to my Husband about bringing me to the B&B on Tiffany Hill! We took a road trip from Texas to come visit. We were not disappointed! I give it 5 stars!! The experience was better than I had imagined. Selena is a doll and so hospitable and so informative! We were so happy that she suggested places for us to go see. But beyond experiencing the beauty of part of NC, I would have been happy just staying at the B&B and taking in all the beauty there, inside and out. I love the decor and cleanliness of every room. And Selena has thought of everything from bird watching to reading to providing quite a few beverages to drink. She is so organized and thought of every little detail, you'll open a drawer and find what you are looking for. 

My husband and I are coffee drinkers and she has provided an area both upstairs (where our room was) and downstairs for our convenience. Then breakfast was awesome and her staff member was so pleasant and accommodating. We had breakfast with one other couple and it was so nice visiting with them. Then Selena came to visit and make us feel so welcome. She is such a delight! I can not wait to go back! I told her that I would love to have a girlfriends weekend there!! She said she has had that there before. She told me how easy it was for a lady that had done it, to organize it. She said that the lady reserved 5 rooms and she invited 5 friends, and had four of the friends invite a friend to stay in a room with them. And they split the cost of their room...

My husband brought me for my birthday which fell on Easter Sunday. Selena had a birthday card and cookies waiting in my room for me when we arrived the day before. Then the morning of, she brought out a piece of dessert with a lit candle and sung me "Happy Birthday". I just turned 47 and this was one of my best Birthdays ever! I definitely want to go back for my 50th but I don't think I can wait that long!!
I want to say, "Thank you Selena! And God Bless You!! I know He already has and thank you for passing on the blessings!! I pray that He continues to bless you in everything that you do." - Penny G.
