My son booked a stay at Valley House over Christmas. Rachel was so accommodating and the place was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and had a few delicious breakfasts prepared by Chef Luis! My room was beautiful with the sauna, which came in handy after sledding with my grandbabies. Rachel arranged a tour of the observatory down the road and made our stay so pleasurable. It was a great Christmas getaway, spent with family making memories. Just what we needed! Loved meeting Rachel and Shadow and loved my stay at Valley House.

We originally booked this on air bnb but Rachel asked us to book directly with her and cancelled the other reservation so I can’t leave this review on air bnb. As such, this is my only option. I wanted to leave something in case any other air bnb renters check here (as I did). I can only guess that things changed a lot when this was converted to an air bnb from an inn given all the prior positive reviews.When we arrived, Rachel told us her uncle had passed away unexpectedly so she had friends helping her out who had cleaned the place for her. They didn’t do a good job - they left their fountain drink on the counter, half full trash cans, expired food in the fridge, crumbs on the floors (which is extra gross since I have an infant who was crawling around on the floor). I don’t know why she didn’t hire a professional cleaning service because it needed it. Plus, Rachel provided zero info on where to find keys to lock the house or the high chair she said she had or anything else for that matter. I was trying not to bother her too much because of her family matters but ended up on a scavenger hunt through more junk when I did ask her.To make matters worse, Rachel’s cat had peed in my friend’s bed before we arrived which they didn’t realize until they laid down in it that night around midnight. I texted her the next day and she couldn’t direct me to where to find clean sheets so I just washed them myself since I knew she was dealing with a family emergency.However, that didn’t make up for the very misleading nature of the air bnb photos. They show empty, uncluttered common areas (living room, dining room, kitchen) with gleaming wood floors. This is not the reality at all. There is stuff on every single surface. A fake Christmas tree still up in February, coat rack with other people’s coats, clutter on every piece of furniture/bookshelf. There was someone else’s open suitcase with clothes sitting at the end of the bed in one of the rooms, boxes of stuff “hidden” behind the couches, dirty laundry in the laundry area. Also there was HAIR, lots of hair, on the side of the bathtub. I forgot to take photos of the clutter before we locked up so these photos are the only two I got (entry living room and the hair on the bathtub).Our first day, Rachel’s friend showed up and just walked right in to Rachel’s room as if we weren’t renting the entire house. And then Rachel asked us to feed her cat the whole time we were there. I’m a cat person so it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to go into Rachel’s personal bedroom in order to feed the cat. I am not exaggerating when I say I have never been in a messier space. There were clothes and trash and shoes and STUFF all over the floor, bed, dresser, closet, bathroom. I felt very uncomfortable having to go in there.Last - the showers were very difficult to adjust the temp. Either too hot or too cold so my friend’s daughter eventually just showered downstairs. And I gave up on using the jacuzzi tub bc there wasn’t enough hot water. I wanted to make excuses for her/ the place that maybe she just wasn’t used to running an air bnb vs a B&B but then I saw she rents other places out so actually there is no excuse. I guess she felt bad because she sent us a bunch of chocolates but we didn’t need 10 boxes of chocolates. We needed a clean house. This place needs a massive decluttering and a deep professional cleaning. And don’t stay here if you don’t like cats.

This review is long overdue! My boyfriend and I stayed here in March for 3 nights as a base to ski Snowbasin and it proved to be the perfect place. This is a truly lovely, exceptional BnB and innkeeper Rachel is AMAZING.The Inn itself is warm, clean, spacious yet cosy and well decorated. We stayed in the Nelson Suite which was a good size and the 2 person sauna was a blast! Rachel was so welcoming, attentive to all details and especially our needs. She is a great hostess. The breakfasts were excellent as were the snacks. I am still buying Epic Bison Strips and 34 degree crackers!I highly recommend this phenomenal BnBThank you Rachel!

We stayed at Valley House Inn January 2023. Rachel, who owns the inn spares no expense when it comes to adding special touches to her guests’ stay. We loved spending time with her. She set up a visit to the telescope down the road for us with her friend which we thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoyed meeting other guests at the inn, there is a nice common area to mix and mingle. A true bead and breakfast with delightful breakfast, lovely rooms, clean…. The whole nine yards.

My wife and I have stayed hundreds of places over the years, and let me tell you, this place has been the best. The rooms are beautiful, very clean and well stocked with personalized amenities. Rachel, the owner is absolutely wonderful, so thoughtful and fun to hang out with. This place was just an absolute pleasure to stay at. We recommend 100%. As far as places and things around Huntsville, Shooting star saloon is steps away from the Inn, as well as a BBQ place and Carlos and Harley's Restaurant. Need a recommendation just ask Rachel, she knows all the cool spots around town. If you want a truly magical and serene experience, visit Valley House Inn.

A true GEM! My group and I had a wonderful experience at the Valley House Inn. Rachel welcomed us like family and went over and above our expectations. We arrived with our rooms decorated with rose petals, hand-lit candles, champagne and a box of local treats.The bed and breakfast was large and each room was designed with a different theme. We had breakfast and dinner each night that was prepared by Rachel’s team and it was phenomenal. She aims to only use the highest quality ingredients and focuses on local organic food. Her attention to detail and authentic hospitality made our time really special. Near the end of our stay, she gave us a really thoughtful gift which was a blank that was monogrammed with our names.If you have any requests, Rachel and her team will accommodate you. I accidentally left an item and she was kind enough to mail it to me at no expense.We cannot recommend the Valley House Inn and will definitely be visiting when we are back in Utah!

Rachel's Valley House Inn was a perfect place to celebrate my husband's milestone birthday. The home is lovely and quiet; and the breakfast very very hearty, enough to keep you going all day and then some! Rachel communicated very well what was in store, including nice birthday surprises and generous goodies from local artisans. She was in the process of deep cleaning while managing to spoil us during our overnight stay. Her dog and cat are delightful. Thanks Rachel and Team for a wonderful birthday stay! You all were amazing. We hope to return in the spring & fall.

We had an awesome stay at Valley House Inn. The historical inn is charming and very comfortable. The rooms are clean and the innkeeper, Rachel, had a welcome note and treats set out in our beautiful room. She attended to all our needs, prepared an awesome breakfast, and is so kind. If I could give her and Valley House Inn more than 5 stars, I would!

Everything good that everyone says about the Valley House Inn - the accommodations, the location, the ambiance, and especially the hospitality - is true in spades! Rachel made us feel like we were special, and she went out of her way to ensure that no need or desire went unmet. More than that, she created an atmosphere where we felt that she, her staff, and the other guests were all like family. In two days! Our stay was truly unlike any other that we have experienced. It’s too bad that we can only give the Valley House Inn five stars across the board. We’d give it ten, if we could.

*Update*After I left this review Rachel texted my best friend to complain about my review. As you can read for yourself, I said nothing bad. This was completely unprofessional. If there was a problem, it should have been brought to me, not my friend!The owner, Rachel is so sweet and such a great host. The breakfast was pretty good. The first course of breakfast was delicious, and even though I found the second course a little over seasoned, it was still good. My only complaint was that the mattress in the room we slept in was very firm, and we like a soft mattress, but if you like a firm mattress it would be great. The bar across the street and restaurant around the corner were very convenient. Over all it was a very nice B&B. The house is beautiful and feels like home and Rachel really does try to make sure your visit is a good experience.

This is the BEST place we have visited in a very long time! It was very clean, friendly, amazing customer service provided by the owner Rachel. The rooms were warm, inviting and the area gorgeous. Rachel texted prior to us coming to make sure she had everything perfect for our stay. The breakfast in the morning was beautifully done and no request was ignored. We stayed in the Log Haven room, which was charming. Large, clean jetted tub + a shower, fireplace, little enclosed alcove balcony for sitting (we ate our breakfast there). We will DEFINITELY be returning to this location.

The owner, Rachel, is the epitome of first class customer service. Detail oriented and so kind, our meager wish was her command. She recommended local restaurants and nearby activities. We had such an awesome time, we didn't want to come home!We stayed in the Log Haven Suite which had a whirlpool tub, and it truly reminded my wife and me of a romantic little cabin tucked in a quaint town where the locals were friendly and helpful. Rachel's cooking skills are amazing! She served our delicious breakfast (fresh fruit compotes, homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, cheese omelettes and maple bacon, fresh OJ and all the coffee/tea we wanted) on exquisite Lenox china and we were free to eat in our enclosed balcony or in the dining room.We recommend Valley House Inn highly, knowing you will have an extraordinary experience.

We were delightfully well taken care of! Rachel is the most welcoming host and so attentive to every detail - from delicious apres ski clam chowder to little treats from local merchants, we felt so lucky to visit this gem of a place. We took our teens for a winter get away and felt like we were living in a Hallmark movie the whole time! The historic inn is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and full of charm. We’d recommend Village House Inn Bed & Breakfast any day!

Our stay at the inn was amazing!! The house was quaint, newly upgraded and beautifully decorated. The room was super romantic - we were treated to champagne and rose petals when we arrived. Breakfast was cooked by a local chef and was delicious, and was delivered to our room in the morning. Rachel was an amazing host and thought of every detail. Will absolutely stay again next time we visit!

This beautiful bed & breakfast is truly a rare gem and the service is far above and beyond what we have ever experienced! Rachel was wonderful with our kids and made us all feel right at home. The whole experience was wonderful and the food delicious!!! What a gourmet breakfast with SO many special touches and extras that you don't get anywhere else. Everything is so clean and beautifully decorated. We can't wait to go back!!!

Superb attention to detail. Rachel was the perfect host. My husband and I went for my birthday celebration and it could not have been any better. We stayed in the Log Haven room. Bed was beyond comfortable. Jetted tub surrounded by candles and rose petals was to die for. And the star light ceiling was a really cool feature. But best of all was my special birthday cake and ice cream waiting for me when we got back from dinner. Rachel thinks of everything. And the three course breakfast in the morning was just fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommended Valley House Inn to all...even if it’s just a local getaway night. Thanks again Rachel!

Valley House Inn was a PHENOMENAL stay!! We stayed in the Log haven suite and were so impressed by all of the carpentry, thoughtful decor and gorgeous designs. The jetted tub was incredible and we slept so soundly away from our kids for our anniversary!! The Valley Inn has the touches of home with Rachel the host being so kind, personable and accommodating—she even had our suite ready to celebrate our anniversary, complete with chocolates, sparkling cider, rose petals and candles. It was great having other friendly guests staying on the premises but still felt like we could keep it private in our own suite, private enclosed patio and dining table, and our air-conditioning unit and TV that could even be used as white noise. Earplugs were also provided by the beds. The setting around the bed and breakfast was the most peaceful country setting with trees and fresh mountain air smells. We brought our mountain bikes and rode around town and had a blast!!! Highly highly recommend this unique and fun stay!! Thank you so much Rachel for an amazing anniversary stay!!

We recently stayed for a night to celebrate our anniversary before skiing PowMow. Rachel is the hostess with the mostest!! She made our stay unforgettable, with so many small touches throughout our stay. We appreciate her willingness to support local small women owned businesses and we will absolutely be back!!Noteworthy details: Rachel included a fresh bouquet of roses and locally made chocolates, soaps, honey, a massive charcuterie board, and open bar as part of our stay. Our favorite detail was the two person sauna in our room!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. Rachel was a five star host. She confirmed our reservation the day before and made sure she knew both of our names and remembered them during our whole stay. the place was immaculate and so cute. Rachel served warm cookies before bed and accommodated food allergies. The 3 course breakfast was amazing! First class service! Definitely going back again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Valley House Inn. Rachel was a wonderful gratuitous host and made us feel so welcome and at home in her lovely inn. The location was lovely and so serene. The only downside was the shower in our room but that did not at all take away from our wonderful experience. I highly recommend the Valley House Inn.

The inn is beautiful! The room are well maintained and gorgeous. A perfect getaway!The breakfast was a delight. The breakfast omelet was divine, truly living up to its gourmet reputation.The service was also stupendous! Rachel took care of us from beginning to end with communication beginning from booking. She upgraded us for free and also gave us a complimentary "romantic package" for our anniversary.We have recommended this place to multiple people already and look forward to going back.

Could not be happier with our stay at the Valley House Inn. Rachel is an amazing hostess. She communicated with us prior to our stay and answered questions we had about the area. She included a small treat basket from a local baker and a small gift for my husband and I, along with a beautiful rose to take home, a Polaroid to remember our stay, and a handwritten card. She went absolutely above and beyond setting up the room with rose petals, candles, and sparkling cider, showing us where everything is, etc. There was a fireplace, jetted tub, board games to pick from downstairs, and a smart tv with Netflix and Amazon already logged in. The breakfast was amazing as well. We have stayed at other bed and breakfasts - including the Anniversary Inn - but I must say, they all pale in comparison to this one. It is obvious Rachel takes great pride and care into her beautiful B&B. We will definitely be visiting again soon!

Updated Review: After the false & defamatory statements you made about me, for no reason at all. There’s absolutely no reason for you, the OWNER to have made such disgusting & dishonest statements about me.The suites at The Valley House are pretty, definitely not what you'd expect them to look like!!!! The Log Haven Suite is GORGEOUS!! Don't get me wrong, all 3 suites are great, but Log Haven is my personal favorite! It's a beautiful building inside & out!!

Our stay at Valley House Inn was superb. Rachel and her team went out of their way to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable. The breakfast each morning was fantastic, we wish we had bigger stomachs to eat more! The rooms were very clean and comfortable.We look forward to our next visit!

Everyone should make sure they spend time at Valley House Inn. Rachel did a fantastic job at setting up our 9 year anniversary reservation. She communicates everything you need to know and provided wonderful customer service. The card, rose, flowers, candles drinks and all was perfect.The host James and Katie took care of us while we had our stay in the Log Haven suite. The romance package was so adorable and brought my wife to tears. My wife said this was the most relaxing stay she has ever had.From late night cookie treats, snacks, drinks, 3 course breakfast this place/stay was so worth it. The history of the home is amazing too. It was fun to be able to look around and appreciate such a fun place. We will definitely be back again. Wow!
