Welcome to Longing for Home, a North Alabama bed and breakfast located in the midst of the Tennessee Valley just one hour west of Huntsville, Alabama and two hours from Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee. Set serenely on fifteen wooded acres, transected by picturesque Weaver Branch Creek, this 1880's style farmhouse is a great romantic hideaway, a peaceful weekend getaway, or vacation destination for anyone looking to experience the renewed "state of mind, place of grace, and way of life" * of ages past that is Longing for Home. Let yourself be pampered for a while as you step back in time to a slower pace of life when the warmth of friendship and hospitality were highly valued.

With recent renovations, this Tennessee Valley bed and breakfast features three spacious guestrooms: Sunshine Daydreams, Country Graces, and Simple Pleasures, each designed to foster a peaceful state of mind, a quiet place of grace, and a slower pace of life. For those with a zest for the outdoors, "The Sleeping Porch", provides a view of the stars at night and the opportunity to wake to the music of nature that surrounds this charming country setting.

Each of our guestrooms has its own bath with washstand-style sinks set atop marble vanity counters along with all the amenities needed to ensure a memorable stay. The Sleeping Porch features its own shower-steam combination as well as a separate, shared powder room. Sunshine Daydreams features a fireplace and a Jacuzzi tub along with its own balcony for your morning coffee or to enjoy anytime. Country Graces offers a cozy atmosphere where you can soak in the antique claw-foot tub by candlelight glowing from the 200 year-old mantle. Simple Pleasures, while the smallest of our guestrooms, is the most luxuriously appointed with a cozy reading nook. Its separate bath features a Greek soaking tub, a deep tub built especially to soak away your daily cares.
