We had the most relaxed, stress-free stay at Echo Woods B&B. The space was impeccable, the food - outstanding! and the hosts - friendly and warm. Darlene and Bob were incredible. Loved every nook and corner at Echo Woods and we were lucky to have meaningful and memorable conversations with the other guests over breakfast. I would highly recommend this B&B for your next stay in Huntsville.

Darlene and Bob have a gorgeous place here. The place is clean and quiet (mostly because we had it to ourselves). The bedroom we had has its own ensuite with a great shower. Everything is nicely decorated. The common rooms are comfy with lots of board games to pass the evening. Darlene's breakfasts are to die for. Mostly because we ate too much. No need for lunch afterwards. Definitely going try to come back some time.

We had a wonderful stay at Echo Woods. The house is very beautiful and is decorated with lovely furniture and unique pieces. The Muskoka room and the library filled with cookbooks are both cozy spots to sit and enjoy a game or a recipe. Darlene and Bob are gracious hosts who make you feel comfortable. The room we stayed in is gorgeous, fitted with luxurious linens and a beautiful ensuite. We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed the very creative and delicious breakfasts. The location is excellent in that it is a short drive to downtown Huntsville, Arrowhead and Limberlost Wildlife Preserve. Echo Woods is the gold standard for b&bs.

We had a great and restful time at Echo Woods. The decor and details in the house made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was outstanding: flavourful, filling, and appealingly plated. It was clear that a lot of attention and care went into the breakfast preparation. Our room was beautiful and the bed so comfortable. The best BnB we've ever been to! And our hosts were very kind and accommodating.

3 words: Classy, Elegant, & Clean Echo woods was a tranquil place to spend our 1 year wedding Anniversary. The food was remarkable, so well presented every morning at 9am. We felt like we were being treated at our own private chef's kitchen every morning. The food was incredible, and she really ensured that everything was just to her guests liking. The room (the entire house) was beautiful and extremely clean. A real Luxe feel with high quality details in every inch of the room. One area for improvement, not that it is a huge thing and hey, maybe its a liability thing I'm not sure, my husband and I really wanted to have a fire some nights. We ended up not having a fire because it seemed as though they may have had to cut the wood and stay up until we were finished to ensure the fire is out. My husband and I like to have fires until 12 or 1 am some times so we felt bad if we would have been keeping them awake. We should have asked for more details regarding the rules or how things were done ahead of time though. Overall, I would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking to stay in a 5 star luxury B&B. Very close to boat launch, rivers and 30min walk to main strip for the shops. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
