We stayed in the Apple View room for 3 nights and wished we could stay longer! The scenery around the house was breath-taking, surrounded by the beautiful Watauga river and picturesque mountains! The house was classy and Tom and Dede are hip and fun: they provide detailed attention that made us feel at home. I recommend this place without hesitation... More

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend when we stayed at The Baird House, a few years back (I had to pick a date and that is as far back as it would let me good, but we did stay in April, just not in 2012). This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast, and Tom and... More

This was not our first stay at the Baird House and won't be our last. Once again we had a truly awesome experience. They say you can never go home but our stay at the Baird House was like "coming home". We have come to know the owners and consider them friends. Our room was clean and cozy, the breakfast... More

My wife and I booked two nights at the Baird House as a quick mini-vacation. We were amazed how great our experience was. The best part were the hospitality of Deede and Tom. The homemade breakfast she cooked in the mornings could be the best thing I've ever tasted. I definitely recommend the Baird House for anyone looking to get... More

That's how we felt at Tom and Deede's lovely B&B... it was like staying with old friends. Great to experience a little snow while we visited the area--- too bad we had to return to the rat race of a big city. Hope to return to enjoy the mosquito-free hammock in the summertime.

Lovely escape to the Baird House. Tom and DeeDee Hinson are the perfect hosts. They served a delicious breakfast and our room was perfection. Babbling stream/creak outside the front door. Truly heaven. We wish we'd had more time to explore the area -- plenty to see!!

Escaped to the Baird House B&B from our hectic life for an evening and were so appreciative of the accomodating hosts, fantastic room, we stayed in Appleview, and experience of the Inn as a whole. Set across the rural lane from the River, the Colonial Baird House and detached marvelous Carriage House, replete with rooms also, is surrounded by porches,... More

We made a one night stop at the Baird House and wish we could have stayed longer. I love history and loved the story behind this old home. This location was so relaxing with the river running by. Tom welcomed us and gave us a tour of the home and made us feel right at home. We had my inlaws... More

My husband and I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and stayed at various B&B's along the way. The Baird House was our favorite. Tom welcomed us with a rich history of the house and area. Tom and DeeDee are very welcoming hosts. Breakfast was the best by far! Scrambled eggs, hashbrown casserole, homemade biscuits and jelly, bacon, coffee, fruit, muffins,... More
