I am thankful to have been directed to Kilburnie, which was decidedly not one of those legions of American B&B's afflicted with depressingly fussy Victorian-itis. How refreshing to find good taste, the comfort of large spaces- free of suffocating chintz and flea market gewgaws. I congratulate you for your splendid attention to detail.

To experience an inn you enjoy is not unusual. To experience one that appeals to your heart is exceptional. To discover one that so touches your heart, mind & soul is extraordinary! Thank you.
Charles & Lynn, Tallahassee, Fl - Aug. 2006

We came to the Carolina's for business and wanted to stop on the way home to decompress! What to our wonder, when we drove up to the front of the house was just jaw dropping. So beautiful a place it was. And to top all of that, the history of the building and detail to construction was amazing. But not for the proprietor and wonderful host, Johannes, was the package complete. We talked, we visited the Craig House across the road and , oh, when touring the fields saw the beautiful natural grounds...and the cows, so close up and personal, it was magical. Thank you Johannes, for your hospitality and genuine openness and friendliness! Smiles galore! We will be back and wish you much luck and success with your venture. Yours truly,

We would like to thank you for a very relaxing four days at your beautiful inn. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and the peach appetizer was beyond belief. this was our second stay with you and even though we didn't think that you could out do yourself you continued to surprise us on a daily basis. We have given your web site address to all our friends and told them to put it on their list of places to stay when traveling through the South. Thank you again for restoring our energy level after playing with five grand children during our visit.

I enjoyed my stay more than I can say. Your ability to seize the moments in your life and make your life and your environment what you want it to be is outstanding and wonderful. Both Kilburnie and the Craig House restorations are works of art and provided us with a beautiful interlude of tranquility and a slow pace that we needed and enjoyed. And thank you for introducing us to Lindsay Pettus - another wonderful experience. May the life you have created for yourself here continue and continue to satisfy you.

We can't think of the words to describe what a wonderful time we have had. The peace and tranquility, in this beautiful country setting with old friends, were just what we needed. Everything is beautiful, the food was delicious, and your hospitality outstanding. Thank you for all of it. We'll be back again.
