Re: Beautiful Stay At This Cottage!!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Jan 2020
My husband Bill and I had a simply wonderful Christmas holiday at the cottage that was part of the Avera-Clarke Bed and Breakfast in Monticello, FL. The cottage was cozy, charming, decorated for Christmas and just loved all the details....especially the clawfoot bathtub.....I bought some awesome scented bath bombs for my baths. Breakfasts were simply delish, very filling and we really enjoyed chatting with Troy and Gretchen the innkeepers. Lovely people. Definitely will be going back their again hopefully in this new year 2020!! The townspeople were very friendly, the grounds beautiful, we had a swing on the huge front porch of our cottage. Thank you Gretchen and Troy for taking such great care of us during our stay with you.
Date of stay: December 2019
Room Tip: We loved everything the cottage offered, it was very comfy, charming and we totally relaxed there!!!

Nights of stars (no light pollution here)
Mornings of sunlight weighed in the Spanish Moss
Oaks spreading large
Camellias and Azaleas throughout the yard -
This historic byway - this nook out of time
The care, the kindness, the strong house sublime
These friendly hosts we gratefully toast
To such a holiday you'll hear us boast!

Room tip: All very lovely and simply perfect

I had the the opportunity to stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast for two nights. The hosts were wonderful. The house while built in 1890 was amazingly well kept with modern appliances and facilities. Breakfast was wonderfully prepared and delicious. Highly recommend that you stay at this wonderful facility if you ha e the opportunity to go through Monticello, FL.

We spent one night in Monticello as we traveled through this part of Florida. The home is beautiful outside and nicely decorated inside. The hosts were very kind, accommodating and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice, modern bathroom with all the amenities that we might need. Breakfast was delicious and conversation with the hosts was very interesting. I would happily stay there again.

Great little place with an amazing courtyard and the owners are fabulous! Stayed two nights for a friends wedding/ reception. Area is gorgeous and the owners are so nice and helpful!
Breakfast was amazing and a bit fancier than we are used to! Great area to walk and explore as well. We were there when all of US 290 was having its annual yard sales so that was cool!
Room was cozy and we were the only couple there so we were able to keep the temp down which was awesome for me!! One tiny issue with the TV but it was corrected very quickly, which made my date happy lol.
Great stay!!

Room tip: The cottage, which they rent as well, is a historical building so make sure you ask!!
