The Dailey Renewal Retreat Bed & Breakfast is located on a lovely, quiet street in Greensboro. My room and the restroom/shower room I used were extremely clean, as were all the public spaces of the home. The owner, who is very kind and very knowledgeable about the Greensboro area, is a lovely person. Her breakfast -- with French press coffee! -- in the morning was delicious! I have stayed at this property twice now and recommend it highly to anyone visiting Greensboro.

We love staying at Bed and Breakfast Inns and Jean's was a clean and eclectic home-away-from home. We didn't stay in the main house, instead, we opted for the little guesthouse nestled on her property. The space was clean and utterly inviting. From the fresh,newly-renovated pine walls to the comfy Queen sized bed, we enjoyed our time there. The real star-of-the-show, was Jean herself. Breakfast in the main house was something to behold. My girlfriend and I enjoyed a homemade breakfast each day which consisted of wonderful presentations of Brioche french toast, a quiche-like egg dish, Neese's Sausage, and fresh fruit lovingly prepared. French-pressed coffee was in abundance. Dining with other guests at Jean's was always a treat. There is something about breaking bread together with others while sharing experiences, and laughing and listening, that was so exhilarating! Jean served us with so much love, often taking a moment to sit with us and share in a variety of conversation topics. It was a memorable and life-giving experience and we are so grateful to have found Jean's special retreat. We will return again and again since we have family in the area. We love it and you will too! If you choose to partake of this beautiful Bed and Breakfast, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars!

There was nothing not to like, and a perfect introduction to Greensboro. Neat house, exquisitely furnished. Bed mattress was top of the line comfortable. The parlor was a nice touch, perfect for lounging. Immaculately clean, with a "welcome home" aura. The breakfasts were great, and accented with coffee press coffee. This home and location affords a relaxed introduction to the Greensboro area. Fellow guests were most affable, not intrusive and excellent breakfast companions. After a night here, one would not want to spend a night in any other place. This is THE PLACE to stay if you value convenient location, a really nice neighborhood, and an escape from the maddening crowds!

Hi Tommy, The thermostat in the upstairs hallway is a defective Honeywell thermostat for the AC, the B & B central heat is in the cellar(heat rises) is never set below 68 (higher now due to the extreme cold.)In addition to a blanket and bedspread the bed in your room had a quilt. It's important Guests are comfortable. Reviews are also critical to a small business the negative review priior to yours is an outlier I wouldn;t imitate. Kind regards, Jean Dailey, Innkeeper

Hi Laryn, I had to contact Expedia to find your reservation it's been such a long time since you were here. You were given a free upgrade from the least expensive room on the property to the most expensive room on the property, served room service breakfast at no additional charge and a technician was called after hours (this is quite expensive)to make certain the minisplit was working properly, it was! I rarely say this to any Guest but I do not think the B & B was a fit for you. Sincerely, Jean Dailey Owner-Innkeeper

The carriage house is a cozy and very comfortable little cottage, with a good bed and plenty of room to relax. Jean is a gracious and friendly host who prepared a delicious fresh breakfast each morning and served it in her parlor. We enjoyed the atmosphere and conversation. The neighborhood is quiet but offers easy access to town or to the highway (or to UNCG).

Disappointing stay
Disappointing. As there was a kitchenette we expected that we would be able to self cater. There was a microwave and a fridge but NOTHING else at all. The bed and lounge area were fine but if you want privacy washing or going to the toilet do not choose this guest house option. Breakfast was adequate but nothing great. Face coverings required.
Curtain does not fully conceal the toilet.

Dear Hazel, I was so happy to have Guests from England what a pleasure! In the description & photos on-line of the Guest House the bathroom's accurately represented. I wear a face mask the first thing I told you: face masks aren't required. The Guest House isn't priced as a kitchenette, it would be 40/night higher. Being short staffed we try to avoid insects & critters drawn to leftover food. When your husband requested coffee, I immediately brought out a coffee maker. As a former chef, I pride myself on breakfast it's my favorite time to get to know the Guests better and when nothing's left on the plate I assume a Guest enjoyed their meal. I hope you were able to find a magnet of NC at Cracker Barrel. Jean Dailey, Innkeeper

NOT A HOTEL
It was all ok until the inn keeper made us feel very uncomfortable the morning we were leaving. She told us she didn’t understand how those who stay there that attend concerts at the coliseum which is very close by. When we walked down stairs to take are belongings to our car we got reprimanded by the owner of the home because we had gotten two little spots of mud on her carpet when we came in from the concert the night before. She told us that this was her home and not a hotel and scolded us like children. And when we ask about coffee she told us the kitchen didn’t open until 8 am. I have stayed at many B&B and have never had anyone act the way this woman acted. By the way her home smelled like mold and we had to share the bathroom with other guest not a great experience and I will not return. We went to a concert got back to the B&B at 11:30 pm and just in case you are wondering no we did not drink while at the concert and we went right to bed when we returned to the B&B

Hi Connie, The part of our e-mail exchange I liked best after you left is "We enjoyed our stay at your place," my wish is for my Guests to have a great time & am very sorry you felt scolded about the red clay on the white carpet. "Please let me vacuum this up before you walk on it, walking on it will grind it into the white carpet." 7:40 AM reminding you Kitchen hours are 8-9 AM, discussed at check-in you took off. Coffee is made at serving because it's French Press a Craft coffee only hot at serving, coffee aroma is strong awakening Guests sleeping. . The room you reserved has a shared bath. Greensboro's known for rain in the basement, the B & B has a French Drain & sump pump. Guests in a hurry select the no breakfast option. The decision to stay here just because it's a quick walk to the Coliseum while quite important hopefully doesn't exclude the opportunity to join us for spicy baked apples, a prosciutto & gruyere cheese oven omlet, French baquette drizzled with olive oil prepared by Jean Dailey and the comraderie shared around the breakfast table at the beautiful Dailey Renewal Retreat Historic B & B. Thank you for the opportunity to clearly communicate my business & yes the B & B is my home. Friends who've already turned 70 say at 70 you get to Do It Your Way, I highly recommend this!

Stay was pleasant. Jean was a great host. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed in the “guesthouse”. My only complaint was that the bathroom curtain needed to be larger to give person more privacy.
