Lovely home, lovely host, lovely historic town. My daughter and I were on our way to visit FSU and I decided I'd rather stay in a lovely spot outside town, rather than stay in a mediocre hotel by the interstate. It turned out to be a wonderful decision. The home was beautiful, there was wine and cookies greeting us in... More

I tried this B & B since all the decent hotels were booked in Tallahassee. What a great find it was and it is a quick drive from Tallahassee. The house is beautiful, spotless and very well maintained. The rooms are extremely quiet which is rare for an older B & B house. The mattress was a luxury pillow top... More

The state capital undoubtedly has many fine lodgings, but I doubt that any of them can match the charm, quiet, food, or value of this B&B a half-hour to the east. Innkeeper Patricia Inmon has restored the 1874 cotton merchant's mansion authentically and tastefully. This establishment is not stiff and elegant; it is grand and homey at once. Rooms are... More

This was the first time we'd travelled in this part of Florida and this lovely b&b did not disappoint. We had the ground floor four poster bedroom. The small touches that Pat the host adds just make the experience that much more lovely - bathrobes, wine and cake on arrival, hot cooked breakfast with fruit, an assortment of reading material,...

Due to a travel delay we arrived late at the John Denham House, en route from Florida to Memphis before returning to England. We were greeted warmly by Pat and from that moment on treated to the best hospitality we could have wished for. A glass of wine with home-made pecan and fruit cake was most welcome and appreciated.Our room... More

Five of us stayed at the John Denham House during the weekend of Thomasville, Georgia's Victorian Christmas Celebration. We had the two rooms that connected on the first floor and it was just perfect. Pat gave us some good shopping tips for downtown Monticello and we got some great buys! We felt right at home at the JDH and plan... More

My stay at John Denham House was my home away from home. I was on long extended stay for a work assignment in Monticello. Pat and Carol were gracious and kind. I felt like I was part of the family. They listened to my stories and told me stories of their own. The home is truly a historic home and... More

We chose John Denham House for a B & B break on a prolonged trip through the USA. We wanted to stay somewhere other than a hotel for the days of Christmas.
