Mr. Mongiello,

"I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You.  My sister Claudia and I had the most enjoyable time at your Inn.  We took a chance since you were newly opened and stayed 2 days in April.  We both felt like we became part of your family.  I still find it hard to believe that you dear sir are a Yankee from Philadelphia and not a native southerner.  I have never been treated like such a lady as during our stay at your inn.  Claudia is still raving to our friends about your cooking.  We will be coming back in the fall so please make sure to have a room for us the weekend of the Kings Mountain Reenactment in September - October. 

Our husbands may enjoy tents, but we would rather enjoy your hospitality again.  May God bless you and your wonderful family."

The Inn was a most wonderful place, Stormy, Marti and JT you guys were the perfect hostess and hosts.  We’re looking forward to our next stay, maybe in early winter.  What a wonderful getaway we had!  Your Inn is one of the most comfortable I have ever stayed in and so many available services on site.  Having an in house spa put you over the top for me.  I was treated like a Princess and Jesse Ray like a KING - Royalty!"

Oceanicus Blue Dreams

Oceanicus Blue Dreams features a tip of the hat to Cornelius Vanderbilt and the great shipping fleets of the world he and the Vanderbilt family adored.  As our mansion is only a short drive from the Vanderbilt Estate the influence is very strong.  The, "Biltmore," is still the largest private home in America and is now the most visited winery in America.  We think this says a lot about where we live, in Western North Carolina.  The roll-top desk has tons of tiny drawers and there are hidden items in each drawer to find and discover!  Along the bulkheads are lighthouses and ships, spyglasses and shells, log books and scrolls of antique paper as well as shiny brass lanterns and cutlasses, handguns and swords.  You will also find love-letters from the war written between sailors and their wives to read as well as dance cards and amazing things.  A king size bed with hand-carved, elegant headboard awaits you with gel-foam insert padding and tremendously extra-fluffy, fluffy, fluffy mattress!

This room has an ironing board and iron, Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner, Nivea or Jergen's hand creme, Scope Mouthwash, two water bottles per day (no charge), DISH TV with 200+ channels DVD and DVR, Roadrunner Business 5 GB Wi-Fi internet access (secure access), closet, foot massage machine, ceiling fan and intimate lighting, luggage rack, digital clock and sleep machine.  This is a shared bath with the owners on the second floor.  Sometimes it is called the Blue Room or Sailors Den and we have been surprised over how many ladies demand to stay in this room!  Also, enjoy watching the famous Hollywood movie, "Hooch," filmed in this mansion in 1977 on your DVD player (a comedy spoof film).  $110.00 per night.

Nature and Earth

Nature and Earth features a full sized tree inside the room with a flowing water fountain and queen size bed with wrought iron headboard.  Lanterns, interesting quartz rocks, living hosta plants, outdoor patio set and rock-hewn tables await you along with green apples, eucalyptus and a huge scarf over roman window shades!  This room was painted from the Biltmore Estate palette of licensed colors by Olympic Paints and specifically from Frederick Law Olmsted's outdoor natural palette from his planned gardens and forests at the Biltmore.

This room has an ironing board and iron, Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner, Nivea or Jergen's hand creme, Scope Mouthwash, two water bottles per day (no charge), Roadrunner Business 5 GB Wi-Fi internet access (secure  access), a large closet, ceiling fan and intimate lighting, bamboo luggage rack and blue light digital clock.  This is a shared bath with the owners on the second floor.  You will find this room to be refreshing and down to earth offering a welcome respite from society with birds chirping in the morning.  Also, enjoy watching the famous Hollywood movie, "Hooch," filmed here in 1977 on your DVD player (a comedy spoof film).  $110.00 per night.

Cancellation and Early Departure Policies:  In the interest of good customer relations we understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable.  We often try to reschedule cancellations off-season if we can re-rent the room.  We often cannot reschedule on a weekend or prime season.  But, we sure will try! :)

Reservations: From the date your reservation is confirmed a $35.00 cancellation fee will be charged per room.  Your 50% deposit is non-refundable if you cancel within 90 days prior to your reservation date.  For cancellations within four (4) weeks of your arrival date you will be charged the total amount shown on your guest folio.  We have significant special events requests, including wedding families and parties - please understand the great impact cancellations can have on others.  We always offer to reschedule with you for another date that is open to help you not to lose your money.  You will be given a 100% voucher for your room to come and stay again sometime.

Inn, B & B and Hotel Policies: The Inn is a non-smoking facility.  Rates are based on double occupancy.  Well behaved children are welcome.  Pets are welcomed with a $40.00 refundable pet fee per pet.  Charges to your card will be made for damages or destruction of any rooms.  We provide a safe if needed and post notices about the safe being available in each room and throughout the Inn in common areas as well as on all of our websites, in our welcome emails and our confirmation emails.  We are not responsible for lost or stolen items and have a limited liability policy of $25.00 USD as the maximum recovery available in the event property is lost or stolen, subject to any investigation our insurer desires to complete.  We will abide with all insurance regulations and investigations protected under insurance fraud policies and laws.  In addition, we reserve the right to Polygraph under the Employee Polygraph Protection Act concerning incidents. Any vehicles parked on our premises are subject to the disclaimer notifying the guest that The Inn of the Patriots Bed and Breakfast will not be responsible in the event the vehicle is lost, damaged, or stolen.  Uninsured motorists or any form of illegal conduct is not accepted or endorsed at the Inn. 

Early Departures, No Shows, "Can't Make It," and/or Inclement Weather Cancellations:  We provide you with a full voucher - 100% for another visit someday, when you can make it.  We are very sorry, cash or credit are not refundable but the voucher can be transferrable.  We like to work with you, we would like to help you come again on another day.  We provide you with a full 100% voucher of the room night to use at some other time up to one year later.  Most Inns and especially all hotels and all hotel chains do not have a policy like this - but we do.  Hotels simply take your money and offer no credit at all.  Then they re-rent the room that night and make twice the money.  We try to be a lot different than others!  We will work with you and help you, friend.

  • Rates are subject to change and do not include local, state, and room taxes.
     
  • For a guaranteed reservation we require a valid Visa, Discover, AMEX or Master Card.
     
  • Gift Certificates are not refundable & some restrictions may apply.  Gift certificates won in auctions or from benefits and non-profits cannot be stacked and added up.  One night stays are allowed only - unless the certificate specifically states it is for a certain duration (i.e. a free week stay).  After a reservation is made for a gift certificate and the reservation is cancelled or becomes a no-show, no arrangements can be made for the future or to reschedule.  Please understand, the B & B cannot financially stay open by allowing free gift certificates to cancel or not show up.  It ends up being a double loss of funds to us out of a thing we were only trying to help a charity with.
     
  • Check in time is 2:00 - 10:00 p.m, unless other arrangements have been made. Check out time is 1:00 p.m.
