Our recent stay at the Carrier house in Rutherfordton was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful inside and out – exterior is perfectly maintained with an adorable garden. That makes a charming first impression. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed, blending historical character with tasteful modern amenities. Jim and Russell are exceptional host. They took the time to share the fascinating history of the house and even told us about the background of our individual room, which made our stay even more special. We spent two nights here and are still talking about how amazing the breakfast were – truly some of the best we’ve had at a B&B! Our room was spacious, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt warm and Homie. This is easily one of the best bed-and-breakfast as we stayed at this year. We can’t wait to return!

Happy Travelers

Russell and Jim are incredible! Their attention to detail is visible everywhere. Jim accommodated our vegan requests with great culinary skill. Our room was comfortable, and obviously extremely well maintained. We look forward to returning, as we felt as though we were visiting with family. We were there to enjoy the Earl Scruggs Music Festival and were delighted to see the lights on when we arrived home some nights after midnight!

The Carrier House is everything I could have wished for in a bed and breakfast: starting with a warm welcome from our 2 host and owners, followed be the enchanting landscaping as well as a charming 19th Century Inn. Our breakfast was memorable for the good company, the dishes presentation and of course the taste!

The house has a wonderful history that was fascinating to learn. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast. The food was excellent and served in a first class way.
