• After coming here for 15 years, we never tire of the hospitality, good food and relaxing vist. Thank you for always providing such a beautiful sanctuary. - 10/19/15 R&C D

 
• Due to horrible rain, this trip almost didn't happen. I am so thankful we decided to brave it out. Between the scenery, the super soft and comfortable bed and pillows along with the soothing rain lulling me off to sleep, this weekend was a much needed rejuvenation of mind, body & spirit. - 10/25/15

 
• There are no words to describe how beautiful and amazing this place is. We came in after dark, so seeing everything the following morning was like opening a gift on Christmas morning. Mike & Rhonda are made for this. They are like friends we didn't know we had. - 11/3/15 A&L P

 
• We've been coming 10 years now, multiple visits - and Mountain Thyme still holds its standard - like time stands still here. The inn is aging gracefully, as are the two of you. We thank you for your presence in our life. 11/7/15 C&J N

• As long as you are here, we will continue to return as often as we can.
  - 8/24/14 G&TB

• No matter where life takes us or what challenges we encounter along the way, there is comfort in knowing the two of you are here, Mountain Thyme unchanged! Thank you for being our magic place.

• Thanks for another relaxing weekend! We have lost count - we can't remember if this was our 6th or 7th visit. 7/20/13 - K&C

 
• We will be yet another of your repeat customers. I've taken pictures but it's your smiling faces and the warm, inviting atmosphere you've created that will be my favorite memory. 7/22/13 - T&C

• I'm so glad your web page was so inviting that it brought us here. 1/17/12 - D&C M

 
• We've only been here one night, actually only a few hours, but I'm already in love. You provide everything I enjoy: tea and cookies, outside seating, comfy sofas, and beautiful decor. I love the little things like the bar of soap and homemade bath salts, as well as the outside quilts and telescope. This is a little slice of heaven in my estimation, and I haven't even had breakfast, which I hear is superb. Thank you for providing a lovely, relaxing, and homy place. It's just perfect. 8/24/12

 
• Where do we begin? Peaceful, romantic and the best B&B we could ever wish for. 9/1/12 -R&A A

• We came to see the beautiful fall foliage and that would have been enough. But to have found this place was the icing on the cake (or syrup on the pecan waffles!) This is truly a special place and Rhonda and Mike - are special people. 11/6/12 - R&S M

• When I am running away from home, this place is where you will find me. 4/17/11 - SM

• I'm not a big B&B fan - but you break the mold. I hope to come back for fall colors. 6/3/11 - L&B L

 
• Words can't describe the enjoyment & beauty of your Mountain Thyme. This is by far the best B&B we have ever stayed in. And that's been quiet a few. 6/5/11 - K&K K

 
• This was our first stay in a B&B and you spoiled us. Can't wait to visit again. 6/26/11 - G&M C

• The moment I walked in your front door a total sense of calm & serenity came over me, like a big sigh of relief. 4/25/10 T&B

 

• What a perfect place to stay! The website did not mention that we would fall in love with the place the moment we walked in the door. 5/23/10 M&J

 
• We have stayed in several different B&Bs. This is definitely a keeper. 5/31/10 R&CC

• Reds, oranges, yellows, greens and dogs and sticks and quiet color palette inside and beauty and graciousness and teapots and porches with blankets and walking paths and hammocks and fire pit and Izzy and glistening rocks and any amenity and delicious food and conversations, movies and books and sofas and fireplace and sun and birds and quilts and beware! You may stay forever and leave behind computer, FB, Twitter, phones, files, task lists and plant you feet firmly on ground earth. 10/21/10 MR

 
• Another wonderful stay. Can't beat this place. 10/23/10 A&BH

• Grace is defined as receiving something wonderful that you don't deserve. That's Mountain Thyme: A place you've created where grace abounds. We don't deserve all the wonderful acts of kindness you provide each visit, but we gratefully accept them. 3/21/09 T&S P

  5/25/09 J&J P

• Just perfect. That about sums it up. Not only is the inn a magical place, your genuine joy and interest in your guests is testimony to why so many of your guests are repeat. 11/8/09 J&B M

 
• We now tell people that we "have friends who have a B&B" when we come. No need to say "our favorite B&B" because they already know that. 11/8/09 D&L W

 
• Well, I finally made it to Mountain Thyme! What a weekend ... words aren't adequate enough to describe these two days of heaven.
  11/20/09 DD

 
• We always feel at home when we come. This is our favorite B&B. 11/21/09 S&D D

• Being able to lounge around and take in the peacefulness of winter and clear skies was our greatest Christmas gift. Thanks for accommodating us! We are convinced that your slice of heaven is worth the travel. 12/09 TE

• I was homesick being away from home for almost 3 weeks now. I've been on the road touring the United States. Then I arrived to a cottage deep in the woods. It welcomed me as if it were my own. I was home. It's hard to describe my feelings as I've never quite felt it before. I never had a grandma's house to go to and this was the closest experience to it. I no longer miss home because here, today, I feel I belong. I love the woods. I love the food.... I love the room and the kitchen too... Somehow it reminds me of who I really was. It brings out the best and the kid in me. For the first time I sat by the fire place keeping me warm all night... I wish I don't have to say goodbye but all good things come to an end.... Mountain Thyme, you reminded me of who I was as a kid, and who I wanted to be when I grow up. Thank you for an un-exchangeable experience. I'm homesick no more. P.S. This is definitely one of my honeymoon destinations. 4/08 - CLI (Malaysia)

 

• As soon as we pulled into the driveway, our first thought was "we're home". Mountain Thyme is one special, magical place to come. It is our sanctuary for a time, to regather our souls and strength to carry on the rest of our lives in the "other" world. 5/08 - C&RS

 
• This was our first stay at a B&B and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place. It's like something out of a storybook. The food was delicious, the bed was so comfortable - we made it a point to take a few naps. The hospitality was amazing. I doubt any other B&B can compare. 5/08 - SW & BF

 
• You have done a great job of putting together a really first class B&B experience. 6/08 - R&NH

 
• What a wonderful place to renew mind, body & spirit. Exceptional care is given to every detail. We have stayed in many B&Bs, but have never experienced anything quite like this one. We arrived strangers and are leaving feeling like family. 6/08 - R&RW

 
• We were in heaven this weekend. Thank you so much for a dream of ours to come true. You have an awesome place - gracious hospitality, lovely & relaxing beds, unbelievable food & adorable pets -- Best B&B. 6/08 - C&DE

 

• This is my first B&B experience and it is by far the the most pleasurable vacation experience I've ever had. Thank you for your gracious hospitality & superb customer service. Your breakfasts are sublime and an awesome start for a gorgeous day spent watching hummingbirds, reading a good book in the swing, walking the grounds and just taking in the Mountain Thyme ambiance. 7/08 - KS

 
• What a magical getaway! This place is very special to us. 7/08 - J&CD

• You have set the standard for B&Bs. 8/08 - M&PT

 
• I believe in God and I believe he led me here. My husband and I needed this place more than I can tell you. Who would have guessed this world-class place was right in our own back yard! 8/08 - C&DR

 
• You have created a haven from the busy world. This is a good place to be if the movie "Ground Hog Day" became real. 8/08 - B&JF

 
• What started out as a problem because we couldn't find a place to stay in Hot Springs turned out to be God's unexpected gift to us. Hurricane Gustav brought people up from Louisiana. Thus we found you guys here off the beaten path. Our stay here was the most relaxing & reenergizing little space of time we've had in a long, long time. 9/08 - S&TT

 

• We are thrilled to be with you guys again. We remembered loving everything about our last stay but forgot just how peaceful & carefree it feels... almost like coming to a home away from home. 9/08 - B&JM

 
• As soon as I pulled into the driveway, I felt like I'd come home. Indeed, my stay here has been everything I need and so much more. Thank you for all the little details that make this place so special and comfy. 10/08 - KS

 
• Folks like y'all are why humans invented the word hospitality. By folks like you, we are all made a little bit better. 10/08 - T&CJ

 
• "J" doesn't sleep well at home. I don't laugh a lot. He sleeps like a babe when we're here and I giggle. "I love to hear you laugh", he says quietly into my hair. I love to hear his even breathing in the quiet of the night. Life is good here. 11/08 - J&CN

• Our 9th reunion in your beautiful getaway was a special treat with special people such as you two. Your dream of this place became a grand reality and I appreciate it with a grateful heart. 1/12/07 - RG

 
• This is a top of the line B&B and we have tried several. You are the "Brennans" class, if you know what I mean. Your attention to detail in quality and hospitality and warmth is outstanding. 2/23/07 M&L R

 
• Mountain Thyme is the B&B, not simply a B&B. This is our 3rd visit and there will be many more. 3/2/07 T&S P

 
• Your home has enormous power to relax even the most stressed soul! 4/8/07 ML K & MK

 
• Dreams really do come true! Thank you for sharing your dream with us. 4/22/07 C&K P

 
• What a wonderful place, almost what I would picture heaven to be like : Wonderful soft music, angels serving us an amazing breakfast, napping on the porch with a purring cat, looking through beautiful green trees and enjoying doing absolutely nothing but laughing and listening to the birds singing. 5/9/07 - MLL

 

• We came looking for relaxation, rest and peace, which we found and so much more. Having B&B'd in many parts of the nation, we have found that the innkeeper and the guests a memorable one. In this case Mountain Thyme offered a "10" in both cases. When it comes to details, Mike and Rhonda don't miss a thing. They have so beautifully created a sanctuary with both the grounds and their home. 5/25/07 R&L C

 
• Mountain Thyme is as restful and full of delightful small surprises as I remembered. You both have such a gift for unobtrusive hospitality, and that is a gift indeed. 7/1/07 T&S F

 
• We have been incredibly lucky over the years in our choices of B&Bs across the country. And this amazing place is absolute proof that our luck has never been better. 7/8/07 M&B B

 
• Woke up to a bright sunny morning, cup of coffee, window seat, nice view, deer crossing, birds chirping, apple dumpling at breakfast. If we would wish to be stuck in a "Groundhog Day", this is where we want to be stuck. 7/15/07 - S&R

 
• Thanks for giving us the opportunity to wish on so many stars! The meteor shower was an amazing heavenly gift, as was your gentle and kind hospitality over the weekend. 8/13/07 M&D C

 

• Of all the B&Bs we've stayed at, yours is truly the most relaxing and well thought out, comfortable and homey and very good. I'm sure we will be back. 8/18/07 G&A J

 
• What a wonderful experience of being in a quiet place. We needed to rest and found it here. Your planning and thoughtful manner have made our stay very pleasant. One of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed in. Loved your personal touch from the time we entered. 8/26/07 R&L A

 
• I walk in the front door and I feel compelled to shout "I'm home!". The visits, the shared stories & memories: Amazing! Funny! Warm! Connected! So much ease & life all wrapped up in this charming, cozy beauty. Good thing you have a wheelchair ramp cause when we're old & gray, we'll still be celebrating our "thyme out" here at Mountain Thyme. 9/27/07 D&D

 

• This place is like heaven. We have had such a relaxing and peaceful visit, we hate to leave. As my wife tried to pry my fingers & legs away from a post on the front porch, she reminded me that we have miles to go and promises to keep. So, I reluctantly leave this generous outpost of friendly people and pets. 10/3/07 J&S

 
• How to describe Mountain Thyme B&B: perfect to the smallest detail. 10/9/07 J&C M

 
• This is our third visit to Mountain Thyme. It is, by far, the best bed & breakfast we have visited over the years. 10/23/07 M&T D

 
• How can you argue with perfection? What a wonderful place. We'll be back. 10/25/07 P&J B

 
• Wow! You did it again! You always create such a fun, relaxing atmosphere with perfection! All the attention to details is what matters! You make one feel they are your most important boarder ever. 10/28/07 LB

 
• Porch sitters unite. You know you've qualified when your self-winding watch runs down. 11/07 - M&VR

 
• You guys have a God given talent and sweet spirit that always welcomes, always accepts. 11/07 - TSD

• Wow! It just doesn't get any better than this. Our 8th reunion is "over the top" and I look forward to next year. R G 01/16/06

 
• We always feel so relaxed and pampered while here. Your attention to detail is so amazing and every aspect of what a B&B aspires to be can be found right here. L&D D 01/29/06

 
• My mother always said "I might not have much, but I'm sure gonna make people feel welcome to what I have". Well, you folks have a treasure and you certainly made us feel welcome to it. We came to discover Arkansas and are leaving with a piece of it in our hearts. D&J H 02/24/06"

 
• Thank you so much for a "WOW Moment"! R&D M 03/05/06

 
• There was nothing during our stay here that we could have wished for more. Your attention to detail, hospitality were all key ingredients in making us feel so much at home. Another guest mentiones before and I would like to revalidate - If there were ever a standard set for B&Bs, yours would win hands down. M&V 03/12/06

 

• Of all the great things that have been written about Mountain Thyme, they are still not enough. Everything was wonderfully perfect. J&C B 03/13/06

 
• Once again, a few days in paradise! I want to stay forever but we shall return. TA & JD 04/08/06

 
• We have stayed in B&Bs in many places, but none have been so warm and friendly. You top the list for beautiful home, great food, and warm hospitality. You are a 5 star in our book. D&R K 04/13/06

 
• Each stay seems more enjoyable than the last! How could that be possible? G&J G 04/15/06

 
• This place is awsome! I can't imagine a B&B being any better. B&E S 04/25/06

 
• PERFECT! L&B S 05/08/06

 
• It was all we dreamed it would be - and more. Our thanks to you and the person who wrote the feature story! N&P L 06/01/06

 
• You guys do a superb job reminding people how to relax! D&H W 06/11/06

 

• There is a spirt of peace here. J&T B 02/18/05

 
• I've heard people say "you can't go back again", implying things are never as good as you remember. Those people haven't been to Mountain Thyme. B&D C 02/18/05

 
• I've never stayed at a hotel or B&B that was so clean! Everything was planned so carefully; it was as if you could read our minds. C&S W 02/20/05

 
• We have stayed at B&Bs here in the US and also in Europe and this one rates right up at the top of the list. C&M H 02/24/05

 
• Mountain Thyme is a treasure. Of all the B&Bs we've visited, this is undeniably our favorite. M&M B 03/18/05

 
• Another incredible weekend. The hammock, food and company are treasures hidden here that each traveler finds; a beacon guiding us to ourselves and relaxation. Thanks for providing such an incredible home away from home. K&S G 03/20/05

 

• What to say? What to say? Except nothing short of Fabulous in every way. T&K F 03/20/05

 
• Everything still looks as beautiful as it did when you first opened. K&EJ L 04/01/05

 
• Our favorite B&B ever! You were meant to be innkeepers. L&B B 04/23/05

 
• Somehow, stopping by here always manages to remind us to laugh more and stop taking ourselves so seriously. Your attention to hospitality remains exemplary. The W's 05/10/05

 
• Another wonderful respite! Thank you so much for this blessed place to just "be still". Even though you make it look easy, we know how much effort goes into creating such a beautiful "home". S&B F 05/12/05

 
• It was just like coming home again. The only place in the world more comfortable than our own digs. T&N H 05/05

 

• Thank you again for a wonderful experience at Mountain Thyme. We intend to make this a regular thing whenever we visit from Australia. K&N M 05/24/05

 
• Very disappointed! We could only stay in this "haven of delight" for one night. If only you could materialize at our next stopover. G&P H 05/24/05"

 
• As avid travelers we have stayed at numerous B&Bs and agree this is by far the best. C&M 05/30/05

 
• From the moment we drove up to the house and I saw the lights, I knew it was the right place. A&E 06/05

 
• You've certainly designed your home to care for our every whim and your graciousness is unsurpassed. B&D H 06/24/05

 

• We have stayed in many B&Bs. This is for sure one of the best. Beautiful house, wonderful food, peace & quiet, and the best of innkeepers. Thanks for everything. J&S H 07/18/05

 
• One of the nicest B&Bs we've ever stayed in. C&D J 07/30/05

 
• It's hard to find, even in the profession, someone who is willing to do things well and right. You are to be congratulated on your superb accomplishment in Mountain Thyme. J 08/05/05

 
• Our stay here exceeded my expectations - no easy task after seeing your wonderful website! P&J C 09/12/05

 
• Sometimes God makes little slices of heaven for His children to go and "recharge" and Mountain Thyme has certainly been that for us. R&J G

 
• This place is magical! S&B M 10/02/05

 
• It took a hurricane to blow us to Mountain Thyme, (Katrina, Aug 24), and we are so glad it did. Everyone and everything superb! A Class Act!
  G&M P 10/05/05

 
• As always everything was perfect. Your attention to detail has not diminished over the years. In fact, if possible, it has gotten even better. P&S M 10/28/05

 

• Maximum "Thank you"s to you all. For us, it's been a totally unique visit to a Camelot of soul food. Next time we intend to reduce being outside this " Magic King/Queen -dom" and maximize browsing, both in and out. Thank you for your obvious and continuing efforts. J&D M 11/05/05

 
• Until now I never realized that something as perfect as Mountain Thyme could surpass perfection - the fall colors are awsome! If heaven is whatever we want it to be, I want it to be an unending weekend at Mountain Thyme. D&H 11/06/05

 
• I don't believe I've ever been anywhere so relaxing. B&J 11/13/05

 
• I think it's been 7 years since we found you and it is still our favorite and most talked about get-away. We are always planning our next trip here because you guys are the ultimate hosts and this is truly a place you get to relax. Looking forward to 7 more years. R&D T 11/13/05

• Mtn Thyme was a wonderful stay. A vacation from our vacation. - J&Y M. 1/21/04

 
• Within this past year: 3 visits, 3 rooms, 3 seasons. Each so special. Each so familiar. This is truly a place where the soul may rest. J&E 2/22/04

 
• In my work, we would call what you do ministry. You have clearly changed lives, or provided a safe place for healing and change and growth. M. 03/04

 
• This is our third visit to Mountain Thyme, our home away from home! Thanks for a lovely and refreshing week. We needed it so. We won't stay away so long next time. (We certainly enjoyed meeting Dancer!) S&S 3/19/04

 

• A piece of heaven is what I expected, and, it is that: Heaven. I came here tired, needing solitude and reflection. The stillness and beauty hold me tenderly as I settle into this sanctuary. Such a glorious place to count my blessings! B.M. 4/25/04

 
• We have stayed at many bed & breakfasts over the years, and Mountain Thyme is by far the best! You have really pampered us. We will be back in a few months. Thanks for everything. M&J T 6/27/04

 
• You have no idea how much we have longed to come back here. We were here exactly two years ago, and I don't think a week has gone by that one of us hasn't thought or spoken of our return. Our stay here is never long enough - but it truly is a haven (a "homey" haven) for weary souls in desperate need of R&R. You all (pets included) have such a gift for making everyone feel like part of "the family". Thank you for sharing your home, your delicious recipes and yourselves with us and so many others! G&L E 6/28/04

 

• Mountain Thyme is our reward for years of trying BnBs across the country. You are simply the best. M&B F 7/2/04

 
• We thought we might stay a night, maybe two, when we drove out here at the beginning of the week. Three days later we are slowly and reluctantly packing to go on to visit relatives in Little Rock! This has been a relaxing, delightful and delicious respite from our usually too hectic lives. Thank you for creating this wonderful place! L&M R 7/20/04

 
• Thank you for another excellent visit. It is just like coming home only topped with lots of pampering. C&T C 8/29/04

 
• Regardless of where our travels take us for the rest of our lives, this place will remain forever in our hearts and souls the most favorite place to be. B&C C 09/06/04

 

• My compliments on your wonderful establishment. We have stayed in B&Bs both in the US & England, and yours is by far a cut above the rest. J&S C 09/11/04

 
• I found your inn on the internet and was very impressed. Little did I know it would be even better "in person". D&B A 10/3/04

 
• What a delight to find a treasure this close to home. M&J A 10/04

 
• 4th time and it keeps getting better. D&D M 10/22/04

 
• The only positive part of it being time to say goodbye and go back home: It's that much closer to the time we can come back to our home away from home. M&V R 11/07/04

 
• There is a spirit to this place that we seldom encounter. Sacred space is a gift to us and the world. Thank you for making it possible for us these two days. JP 11/27/04

 
• This such a peaceful and tranquil place - both inside and out. It heals and comforts the body and soul. M H 12/04

• It's time to go! I am sitting here comtemplating reasons to stay. We had a wonderful quiet New Year. It will be one that will not be forgotten. Now if only we could find a way to make room for Polly & Roufus in the car. We promise to bring them back on a regular basis for visits. Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality. R&J 1/1/03

 
• If there was heaven on earth, this would have to be it. Thank you so much for making me feel right at home. Looking forward to making many memories here in the future. L.W. 1/5/03

 
• Thank you so much for allowing two cold wet weary newlyweds into your warm & cozy piece of heaven. You had us right off when you lit the fire, turned on the ballgame & served us hot chocolate and warm cookies. My husband and I were sold. This was a new experience for us, but I forsee many more. Thank you so much once again for your generous, sincere hospitality. - A&A E 11/23/03

• Words can not express the special meaning Mountain Thyme will forever hold for us - the most magical place to become engaged. Thank you for everything. J&J H 1/1/02

 
• Just like coming home. No! What am I saying?? I wouldn't go there for a vacation. This is better than any we've been in. We have been spoiled and catered to. What a good life: being in the company of the three of you. B&A 4/28/02

 
• I thought I had the best bed in the world til I came here. Slept like a baby! It was just great & the food - the best! It was such fun getting away from the busy life - such therapy! You're all perfect in your job!!! So friendly and warm! Thank you! J. - 6/14/02

 
• Our Mountain Thyme will always remain a sweet memory in our hearts. Special touches of warm elegance and comfortable friendliness made our stay a home away from home. The woodland sounds of birds and critters, the lazy days of hammocks, swings, winding trails and the official "Roufus" greeter enveloped our world of total relaxation. Polly's kitchen specialites were delightful delicacies. Every morsel melts in your mouth. Thank you for all the heavenly pampered moments. K&L S 7/12/02

 
• Thank you for taking in two urban strays and healing our body, mind and spirit. This weekend is a birthday B.. will never forget - more than words can say! D&B W 8/5/02

 

• I think you must be angels in disguise, (although a thin one), to have created such a tranquil place to enable one's soul to gently slide into its original shape after being bent, stretched and shaken by the busy-ness of our world. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for refreshing my mind, my soul and my body. One night is not enough. We look forward to seeing you again. G&B M 8/7/02

 
• This place has healing powers!
  You've certainly thought of everything:
  - the bed was heavenly. We didn't sleep; we floated.
  - we loved watching the hummingbirds from the porch.
  - the food was wonderful.
  - and Biscuit's early morning visit to our room made us feel right at home. May we suggest a kitty for every room?
  K&J C 9/1/02

 
• Sometimes you wonder was it really as great as I remembered? It was everything we remembered and more!! K&S 9/2/02

 

• What another wonderful weekend. You have helped make it special once again. Each time we come it gets better and better. Thanks for spoiling us. C&D B 9/22/02

 
• This is my first visit and I must say it has far exceeded my highest expectations! I have stayed at many B&Bs, and this one is no doubt the best. I give it a perfect "10", and I'm very picky! It's well thought out for guest satisfaction to the detail. I am thoroughly relaxed and have especially enjoyed the paths in the woods and the "secret" hammock; the porch swing at night with the crickets chirping & Roufus for good company; the homemade soaps & bath salts, the food(!), the warmth of the innkeepers, the immaculate rooms and the beautiful decorations.

• Thank you once again for a wonderful weekend of relaxation and hospitality. Our fifth stay has been just as wonderful as the others. We look forward to seeing you again soon. 2/27/01 Love, S&J C

 

• Thank you for thinking of all the details so we had nothing to do but relax and enjoy being spoiled.  3/24/00  R&J

 
• From the minute we drove up to the Mountain Thyme B&B, we were in awe of this wonderful place.  Our first B&B experience was on our honeymoon and "D" was far from impressed. So you can imagine that he was hesitant to stay in another. Since we arrived here, "D" has commented several times how impressed he is. The beautiful rooms, delicious food and friendly conversation will keep us coming back. 7/17/00 E. & D.  Rogers, TX

 
• We were looking for something off the beaten path and this filled the bill. We spent as much time as we could in the swing on the porch and the hammock in the yard. We also thoroughly enjoyed watching all the humming birds. Time spent in such everlasting peace is so healing to the spirit. Hopefully, sometime this winter we can slip away and come back!  8/26/00 R&M

 

• Some people speak kindness with words. Others with actions. You do both! Thanks for the wonderful respite. We will look forward to next time. 11/6/00 R&D

 
• Two thumbs up for another wonderful weekend! It is always a pleasure "living with you" for a few days. And eating with you, of course! 11/00 J.&T.W.

 
• Our nature as human beings tends to "want it all" and never quite be satisfied. Surrounded so apparently by love and friendship - kinship - which is sometimes hard to find in our busy world. Every time I come to visit, (7 - 8+ times), I still have that first feeling. The sights, sounds and attention to detail are second to none. The secure, warm feeling of going home to Grandma's every time. Love you guys. 10/8/00 T.

 
• Our only complaint is not having the opportunity to get back more frequently. As always, thanks for being here and doing everything with such grace and hospitality. See you sooner than later. 5/00 B&A

 
• This is the "Bed & Breakfast" experience we have been looking for! We felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. Polly's cooking was absolutely marvelous! We especially enjoyed the splendid decor, its neatness and country feel. We slept deeply because the room and bed are so comfortable and quiet. We recommend you to our friends and loved ones! 6/29/00 J&CM

 

• C'est Magnifique! It is great. We loved it.

 Things that make a difference:
• chocolate frosted peanut butter cookies
• banana foster crepes
• such good soft cotton sheets
• "real" plants
• extra amenities if desired (pillows, TV, video, phone)
• immaculately clean
• friendly hosts
• alarm clock
• beautiful grounds
Best B&B we stayed in both US & Europe. 7/1/00 J&D S
 
• This was our first B&B stay and, on the way up, we were plagued by the "what ifs". What if the beds are lumpy? What if the food is weird? What if we hate it? Well, we are so sorry to have ever doubted! Now we are asking a different set of "what ifs". What if we came back for Christmas, or your birthday or the really thought provoking: What if we just stayed?!? Everything from the deep dark outside to the overwhelming sense of tranquility inside is just sublime! You will be the yardstick that others will have to work very hard to measure up to. 7/4/00 D&M

• This should be an Rx from the AMA to ALL mothers. It's like going to Grama's, but Nana was never this nice! This has been long over due medicine for my soul. God willing, we'll do this again soon! 2/21/99 J.& R.S.

 
• The personal touches made all the difference. There is no doubt this is one of the most special places I've seen, from California to here. Thanks for the friendly smiles and conversation. DL

 
• A remarkable twist of fate! An inn as perfect as our love. Glad to share the company of such worldly hosts. 4/23/99 C.&D.J.

 
• Attention to detail is a rare treasure to find in today's too busy world. Thanks for thinking of and anticipating all that would be needed!  6/20/99 K& JW

 
• Just at the edge of Ouachita Wood
  A singular Bed & Breakfast stood.
  Tranquility gently breathed within her
  Bound
  by sensitivity to sight, taste and sound
  Wove
  a melody of such artistic sensibility
  No further verse be needed but to state
  "And it was good."

  who for a brief
  time was glad to
  be a part of the
  unfolding odyssey
  of Mountain Thyme

 

• Thanks for a lovely bit of heaven on earth! We enjoyed our privacy and, yet, felt right at home! How do you do that? 7/5/99 D. & N.K.

 
• Good taste, hospitality and perfection have found a place at Mountain Thyme. It is beautiful, a wonderful restful experience. M.M.

 
• Our stay here has been wonderful! The meals were much more than we expected and your personal touch to the rooms were a treasure. My husband would wake up every morning and say, "I want this bed". You have a totally remarkable place here and will succeed in all you attempt. 5/25/98 C. & T.M.

 
• Beyond the obvious luxury of the room (the 300-thread count Egyptian sheets for instance, which caused us to sleep like mummies :-) we found this beautiful home and area to be much more than we expected, especially the warm hospitality offered by Rhonda, Mike and Polly. This wonderful place and their wonderful friendship has made for a perfect weekend. 4/12/98 J.&G.S.

 
• We had a wonderful time! It was more like a family retreat, away from all the usual influences. I can't think of a word that describes your services to your guests, but let me just say that we felt cared for in a very kind and quiet way. We'd love to come back! 6/10/98 J.& J.S.

 

• I am usually an early riser, but the peacefulness and comfort of this bed would not release me from its grip. Being a contractor, I recognize the specific points of craftsmanship in the quality construction of your B&B. What a value: quiet, peaceful, beautiful accommodations at a very reasonable cost. Your hospitality and the really enjoyable food round off the list which, we believe, will cause Mountain Thyme to become one of the more desirable B&Bs to seek out and reserve. 7/10/98 B.& S.C.

 
• Ok, well I think it is just one word: Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! You guys have done a super job with this house. It's just PERFECT. I will recommend it to everyone I know. I can't think of a single detail I would have done differently. M.O.

 
• The ultimate in comfort, view, and relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Dogwood Room. It's unfortunate for other B&Bs that they&ll not quite measure up. We look forward to observing the evolution of Mountain Thyme in the years to come and returning many times to stay in our rooms in our home in the mountains. 7/31/98 M. & V.R.

 

• I will not go. I will not leave. You cannot make me. I've decided this is where I shall stay. Call who you must but I won't go willingly. Though my husband has purchased EVERY bar of soap and even a cookbook from the B&B, it just won't be the same if I can't stay here. Who's going to make such good breakfasts for me at home? My home is not as beautifully decorated and no one leaves me cookies for a bedtime snack. There's no Polly or Rhonda at my house either, with such lovely, gracious hospitality, why would I leave? No, I think I'll just have to stay! 8/20/98 K.Z.

 
• It's not often you can stay in a strange place and feel as comfortable as you do in your own home, but not have to worry about the dishes, laundry or answering the phone! What heaven. And what hospitality. Our hosts pampered us, entertained us and treated us both like part of the family. Mountain Thyme is the perfect creation, down to the last detail and the last crumb of Polly's gourmet meals! 9/8/98 C&H C

  Starlight, Star Bright!
  Shooting Stars We Watch Tonight;
  Their Fireworks Reign The Starlit Skys
  As We All Watch With Awe Struck Eyes,

  The Skyward Streaks Are Our Delight!
   
  Rhonda, The field trip at 4:00 AM was a lot of fun and brought out the kids in all of us. Thanks for a great stay in a wonderful setting. You make everyone feel as if it's their own home and that's very satisfying when you're out on the road. We are going to miss Polly's cooking terribly when we return to our pre-fab life. Stay as you are and God Bless You. 11/16/98 G.& M.L.

 
• Perfect, as always! I've never felt more at home and always find it hard to go. The house is spectacular. The details are to the finest perfection. But, your warmth & friendship make it my home away from home. 12/20/98 T.S. (3rd visit)
