We stayed one night at The Lauren Oak Inn. Our room was The Lilly. Our entire experience, from arrival to departure, was PERFECT!. Peggy and Monta are warm and friendly. The Inn is even more beautiful than the photographs depict. Clean, bright, sunny! My husband and I both enjoyed an excellent night's sleep. We woke to the smells of coffee... More

Peggy & Monta are incredibly hospitable. Their property is kept up so nicely. The room (Lilac Room) was beautiful and comfortable. The balcony off the room has a great view of the landscaping and huge trees covered in moss. Breakfast was delicious! More

I agree with all the great things all the other reviews have said so I will not belabor the point. I have stayed at quite a few B&Bs in my life and this was by far my best experience. I look forward to staying with Monta and Peggy again. More

It's all about the details. My wife and I have stayed a many B&B's and have high standards and expectations. Monta and Peggy exceeded them at every level. To begin with, the home was meticulously restored to its former glory; maintaining its Victorian details while having modern plumbing, hvac, and electrical systems. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing all about the restoration... More

I arrived at the Laurel Oak Inn having driven many hours on a rain soaked interstate. As soon as I opened the door, I knew I had come to a special place...smiling faces and a glass of wine awaited my arrival. I lucked into the Lilac Room - a corner haven with a private porch, 4 poster bed and charming... More

Having stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts we have developed rather high standards for cleanliness, decor, beds and especially hospitality. The Laurel Oak Inn is outstanding in all aspects, and among the very best we have frequented over 30 years of domestic and international travel. Several specifics: I was recovering from a back operation and looking for a good mattress...Laurel... More

Although this was our first visit to the Laurel Oak Inn, from the first moment, you feel that you came to stay with friends. You are met with a genuine smile and a caring attitude. Local recommendations, dinner reservations, directions are all taken care of by Monta. Meticulously maintained, the common areas and the private rooms are airy, light and... More

I always loved the idea of a B&B but until recently we had not taken advantage of the opportunity. Now we do every chance we get. The LaurelOak Inn was a delight, Monta and Peggy invite you into their home and make you feel a part of their family. The details are fascinating as you step into the past, and... More
