James Wilkins House

Experience Country hospitality in an Elegant Victorian setting.  This 1894 Queen Anne, a true painted lady, echoes with the ambiance of an era long past.  Savor a full country breakfast; enjoy the parlor or the library, curled up with a good book, maybe watch your favorite movie, or enjoy a wonderful cold glass of Blueberry iced tea or Strawberry lemonade, while sitting on the porch or gazebo.   So, if you yearn for that peace and quiet, then this is the place.

Choose one of the two fine guestís rooms here at the James Wilkins House, The Magnolia Room, with its architect signature of the horse shoe window and romantic atmosphere, this room has a comfortable bed and peaceful wicker furnished sitting area, just perfect for relaxation or the Paisley Room which takes you back in time, decorated with tranquil dark colors, a large bed for your comfort, a rocking chair to relax in and a cozy corner with table and chairs.

Guest Comments:
Just a quick note to express our thoughts and feelings. This is our first B & B experience and we could not have expected more! You are a wonderful hostess and, like this house, an enchanting, lovely lady. Your hospitality and your warmth made us feel special, and we will always remember the James Wilkins House with the fondest of memories. Jason and Page, Mt. Juliet, Tennessee

What a wonderful home you have! We are both so glad that you would open it up for us! Our room was beautiful and breakfast was incredible. It was so nice to hear of the history and renovations that went in the house. All of your hard work has really paid off. If the opportunity presents itself, we would love to come back. Thanks for the coupon for the winery. I am sure we will enjoy it!  Derek and Kristina, New Albany, Indiana

This is our first stay at this Painted Lady or any bed and breakfast, we cam to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of marriage. We were greeted at the down and shown around and the led to our room. ÖWhich had sparking cider, chocolate covered strawberries, and flowers to begin our celebration, and a wonderful card from Diane to wish us well and happy years.  We will never forget this week-end which Diane has made special by allowing us to share in this house, treating us well and going beyond the call of duty.
