This is a beautiful older home with lovely bed and bath linens but....on the late winter afternoon we checked in the entry way reeked of petroleum fumes. We were hesitant but hoped our room would be exempt, it was not! Immediate head ache but it was too late to change our minds-we did however open all the windows in our... More

I recently stayed the Pond House Inn for a valentine getaway. From the moment I drove up to the house, I could feel such a sense of peace and serenity. Martha made Ron and I feel right at home. Our room had a perfect bed, plush robes, and a fantastic view of the grounds. Breakfast was served in the dining... More

I titled this like staying with family but that does not do it justice. This was our second stay and Martha immediately made us feel at home. This may be a Bed and Breakfast but you really feel as if you are home. The rooms are great, large and more than comfortable. Breakfast is always nice since there is a... More

We recently had a four day stay with Martha at the Pond House for our Anniversay. Our room was very beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The mattress and linens were exceptionally comfortable. Refreshments were available to us at any time. The view and the grounds were beautiful even in November. Breakfasts were wonderful and were served on time as we requested.... More

As a business traveler, I am weary of staying in hotel chains! While working on a computer project for Albemarle Hospital, The Pond House Inn was recommended to me as a great place to stay. That was an understatement! The inn has been my "home away from home" for a year and I dread the thought of returning to hotel... More

We've stayed at a number of B&B's but not like this. The house, its furnishings, and particularly the grounds were pure magic. There are small islands rimmed with stone walls, a beautiful view of the river, and birds, flowers, and trees galore. There are outdoor gazebos with swings and a great porch to hang out on. The house is furnished... More

Martha the innkeeper is very pleasant and has the most beautiful property we have ever been to at a small inn. The property itself has a multitude of gardens, ponds and a creek. And then just across the street is a beautiful river/bay that can bee seen from every room in the house. The rooms are very nice and her... More

What a wonderful, welcoming place to stay after a long day of travel. The minute we arrived warmth abounded. The common rooms are lovely, filled with antiques and memorabilia, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine by a warm fire. The bedroom was very inviting and the bed was as comfy as a cloud. For the grand finale, breakfast... More

We arrived to a sign outside welcoming us, then stepped inside to the fragrance of Yankee candles burning, and the warmth of the library fireplace. We were awed by the ecclectic artwork throughout. A basket of snacks, soda, and water were available as well as wine, cofee and tea. Luxury abounded in our room along with all the amenities, even... More
