Carrier Houses Bed & Breakfast

Small town treasure! Pre Civil War house near downtown . Several restaurants within walking distance. Lovingly cared for home with beautiful flowers. Outstanding breakfast ! Charming hosts who gave excellent advice on biking, dining, etc.

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!

This place is wonderful to stay at. The breakfasts they prepare are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

As a long-time traveler, you are in a long quest to find the place that beckons you back to a home like feeling, or the one that provides you that special attention to detail you achieve only in the luxury of a five-star hotel. Jim and Rusell have achieved this excellence in their superior hosting at the Carrier Houses Bed and Breakfast. Not only their well establish ability to welcome you into their historic homes, but to think of every detail even during a time of crisis. Astounding! We were part of a Garden Group that had occupied the majority of their B&B for the weekend. Not just any weekend though. The past weekend when through the area past Hurricane Helene with such vengeance and force that not even the strong hearted had to have a feeling of fear about their fate. Within a short time of our visit, we lost electric and any connections to the outside world. J & R lite the houses up with candles and lightening (for the entire stay-day and night), served us meals fresh off the outside grill, made sure that our every need was addressed, all the while worrying about the safety of their own family and friends (which they barely ever mentioned) in the outside world. You cannot find that kind of attention to detail, passion and attention to comfort. Though we had each stayed at this B&B on a previous occasion, we all walked away from our weekend visit feeling cared for and loved by strangers who are the true definition of outstanding Innkeepers. Thank you from our hearts your Daylily friends and now family.,

Just plain excellent, start to finish. accommodations were clean and comfortable, both nights. Breakfast for 2 mornings was just gourmet; so very good and served in a beautiful setting. I have never been to Rutherfordton, will stay here again upon my return. Jim and Russell really care about their place and it shows.

OMG!!! My friend Fred, from Forest City, recommended the Carrier Houses B&B and for that I will be forever thankful!! If you are anywhere near Asheville, NC or Greenville, SC consider a stay here! Jim & Russell, the owners/innkeepers provide you with a personal experience you won't find anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and call to make a reservation and you will immediately understand why you will have a great stay. You'll be asked about dietary restrictions and the purpose of your visit so they can tailor a visited crafted just for you. The 2 houses date to the 1800's and are beautiful and tastefully done. There are plenty of places to sit back and relax including porches and a pond, and the small, charming downtown is just one block away. If you are a church goer, there are 3 different denominations to choose from. Breakfast is delicious and prepared from scratch by Jim who prefers to use fresh ingredients. As a non-yogurt lover, Jim converted me with his blend of Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla bean paste with an assortment of fresh fruit. If you've seen the movie, Last Holiday, starring Queen Latifah, and remember the scene where she hugs the sheets in bed, well I felt the same way when I slid between the sheets. What else can I say but that I will DEFINITELY be back!!!!
