We just spent the weekend at Blessings on State. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable weekend we have spent on a get-away weekend. This is our 10th Bed & Breakfast we have stayed at and it was by far the best ever. We stayed in the Tranquility Suite (aptly named) and it was very unique. The bedroom was gorgeously appointed, the claw foot tub and separate sitting room a pleasant surprise!

The best part was how spoiled we were by Gwenn and Glenn! They have the most wonderful special touches and the food was awesome! If you are staying at Blessings on State you are in heaven on earth!

My mom and I had an excellent stay in your beautiful home. This is our first stay in a B&B and it was superb. Your hospitality, cooking and caring make the difference - the milk and cookies are an added bonus. We also enjoyed our spa treatments - an extra touch!

Keep up the good work and best of luck!

I came here because I was curious what a Bed & Breakfast was like. I am sold on the "special" treatment we got at your Bed & Breakfast. When I am in town I will definitely come back gain.

May the Lord bless you at Blessings on State,

We have had a simply delightful stay here! You have treated us like royalty. The fresh hot cookies at night were delicious. I have never had such a perfect breakfast - food for the eyes, the mouth and the soul. Thank you for making our 15th anniversary so special.

Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your beautiful B & B. This is my first time and I had no idea how nice it would be. You have turned this old house into a friendly lovely place for people to enjoy. We wish you many years of happiness – running your B & B. Thanks again, and we would recommend this B & B to everyone!

This was the first time we stayed at a B & B and we weren’t sure what to expect. We have had a wonderful experience! Your home is warm and inviting and you’ve made us feel so welcomed. We hope to come back soon.

We had such a soothing time in your home and it was the perfect spot to meet and all be together. After driving from Florida, you can’t imagine what an oasis of luxury and pampering you and your B&B were. You truly know how to make people feel welcome. Thank you for your kindness and your helpful ways. We hope to stay here again. We’ll be thinking of you and wishing you peace.

Thank you from the heart,

What a wonderful Bed & Breakfast you have! It is a wonderful, restful, beautiful place. I enjoyed myself and my stress drained away in the peaceful atmosphere. The house is beautiful, food is great and the host terrific! But most importantly, staying here "soothes the soul."

It’s our first time at a B&B and our first impression, with a Deaf-friendly experience we will always remember. Tranquility is the perfect name for this room as we have felt at ease and re-charged ourselves. Your lovely and welcoming hospitality were touched by us. We love your breakfasts and we felt like a king and a queen by the dining room window! We will definitely recommend Blessings on State to everyone!

Thanks and God bless you!

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for sharing this beautiful home with us. To me, your sign on the stairs says it all – that while we may come as strangers, we leave as friends.

We felt your warmth from the moment we saw your lights on at the house when we arrived in Jacksonville. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and delicious breakfast at the window table. We will be back.  In the meantime, we plan to share our experience with our friends, who we know will want to experience the special Eyer hospitality.

Thank you both for such an enjoyable, relaxing stay. This was our first experience with a Bed and Breakfast and it was all we hoped for it to be… elegance, warm hospitality, delicious food, etc.

Thank you for being such delightful hosts,

Thanks, Gwenn! You made us feel very special. My wife needs a special diet and you handled it very well. The Christmas trees are beautiful, the snacks were delicious and your home was very comfortable. The extras were unexpected and we enjoyed the experience. Very relaxing. We look forward to the next time!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful time. I’ve lived in Jacksonville 38 years and it’s nice to find somewhere in town that makes you feel like you’re a million miles away. You made a good choice – State Street is the best street in town. The breakfast was phenomenal!

Thank you for your hospitality!

Thanks for your great hospitality. We have really enjoyed the calm and quiet your B&B offered us. After a wonderful wedding weekend this was a great relaxation. Thanks for going the extra mile to make our time here special!

 

It was a great joy to get to know you. Thank you for the wonderful place to stay and for your gracious hospitality. May the Lord richly bless your Bed and Breakfast, your family, and your ministry.

 

               Blessed to be a Blessing

     Thanks for the chance to relax a bit;

     Once word gets out… you should be a hit!

     I pray for continued blessings for you;

     Thanks once again for all that you do.

 

I must tell you that I’m quite impressed with all you have done here. Your heart and mind went into it and love and joy now flow from it. Amazing.  Thank you!

 

Thank you for making our stay another dream come true. You are doing a fantastic job and I know Blessings on State will be a huge success. Thanks for babying Frank at breakfast… he needed that. Thanks for going above and beyond on getting us our massage. She was awesome! Frank thinks the warm cookies and milk is something I should continue at home!! And the S’mores in the back yard topped off an already relaxing weekend.

 

We’re back! We’re spreading the good word about Blessings on State – your warmth and hospitality, the delicious food lovingly made, and the comfortable home you share with us.

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you for a wonderful stay. It is always good to get away and relax. Your home is a beautiful, welcoming respite.  May God bless you both in your work/ministry. May He bless your family as He brings “beauty from ashes.”

 

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We really enjoyed our visit. You have a beautiful home and you are a most gracious hostess. Best wishes for you and your family.
