The Bell Aire Mansion was a great getaway that we would recommend to anyone. It was relaxing and very cozy. The rooms were comfortable, roomy and very accomodating. If you want to get away to somwewhere where you can forget the stresses of everyday life this is it! The price of the room included breakfast that kept us going all day! We have to say the pecan french toast was out of this world! Jan & Lorraine were very hospitable and made you feel like family! The Inn was a short drive from everything and just a few minutes from the hustle & bustle of the town. We are looking forward to returning in October.
