Lilac Inn

Maybe I just don't know how Bed and Breakfasts truly work, since this was my first stay at one. But when we arrived, no one was there, our room key was left on the check-in desk with a note that told us breakfast time and wi-fi code. There was a number to call if we needed something and it said they were just running errands, but we never saw anyone until breakfast the next morning. It turned out every restaurant in town was closed on Mondays, we had to go miles back to the last town, it really would have been nice to have a staff person to ask for recommendations. I thought part of the charm of a B&B is supoosed to be personalized service, but I got more welcome from my $100 a night motel the night before!

Absolutely love the property inside and out! Our room is large, beautiful, and the bed is so comfortable.Exceeded my expectations; wish we were staying more than one night! We have two "complaints" - the fragrant smell in our room was overpowering & nauseating, and then whatever was being cooked downstairs smelled all the way up to our room on the second floor, and not in a good way unfortunately.

Friendly staff great breakfast menu with alternatives Helpful information of places to visit around the area Negative: having people sit with each so you become acquainted

Absolutely gorgeous... just a lovely place!

I really liked that my room and property were very clean. Breakfast was great and coffee machine in hall was very convenient. The big downside was the shower. Both days I would immediately loose hot water and freeze, then suddenly get it back and burn myself. Not enjoyable at all. And for $300 a night I do expect to have an enjoyable shower.

Perfect spot!

The Lilac Inn is a beautiful historic inn. Shelley and Betsy are gracious and accommodating. The breakfast is excellent! Brandon is a very walkable town with everything you need close by. A small town with friendly people.

Wonderful staff & great room!

We had a lovely one night stay. The gardens and surrounding property are beautiful. The room was very spacious and well tended before we arrived.

My friend and I were traveling by motorcycle and had a very nice welcoming stay. Clean and comfortable with a very nice breakfast.
