“We’re proud of all of our accomplishments and awards we’ve received over the years, but we get the most satisfaction from serving our guests,” says Yvonne. “In the B&B industry, we call it ‘the better way to stay,’ and we truly believe that. We work hard to make our guests feel at home while they’re here, from our homemade breakfasts to our cozy wood-burning fireplace, welcoming wrap-around porch and luxurious claw-foot tubs.”

The Inn offers three beautifully furnished rooms, one of which can be made into a tworoom suite, all with private baths and beautiful views. A full gourmet breakfast is served every day, featuring fresh, locally grown fruit and vegetables, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice and seasonal entrees like baked apple French toast. Guests can relax in one of two sitting toast. Guests can relax in one of two sitting rooms on the first floor or sit outside on the rooms on the first floor or sit outside on the beautiful wrap around porch.

During the holidays, the house is decoDuring the holidays, the house is decorated top to bottom with a 10-foot Christmas tree as the centerpiece. Yvonne makes tons of homemade cookies and visitors are invited into the restored Red Rail Carriage House behind the Inn to have some hot chocolate and mingle.

“Around the holidays most of our business comes from people visiting their families,” says Jake. “Oftentimes if guests are here by themselves visiting family nearby we’ll invite them to bring a family member over for breakfast or to just hang out and relax.”

When you can’t be at home for the holidays, the Inn on Holly is happy to offer you the next best thing. “Our goal is to make everyone feel special during the holidays and offer them a home away from home,” says Yvonne. “We’re very proud of our little town and are happy to share it with our guests.”

The Inn on Holly is located at 120 West Holly Ave. For more information visit TheInnOnHolly.com. For reservations call 856-582-2251. 
