About the Innkeepers

Jenny and John have been happily married since 2015, and together they bring both experience and heart to their journey as innkeepers. They grew up together in the same town in Minnesota and have been friends most their lives, but have only been married since 2015.  Jenny’s background includes more than 30 years in management and retail, where she thrived as a project manager and delighted customers in well-known establishments. She’s also been an Avon representative for over 27 years, building connections and lasting relationships along the way. John is a retired Trust Fund Analyst with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, an Army Veteran, and a former firefighter and EMT—dedicated roles that reflect his commitment to service and community.

​

After years of dreaming and planning, the perfect opportunity arrived in 2023 when they discovered their ideal bed and breakfast location in Floyd, Virginia. The property offered everything they had envisioned: five inviting guest rooms with private baths, a bright and spacious breakfast area, a cozy common room with a fireplace, an area for crafting parties, and even a dedicated space for The Five Sisters Gift Shop. To top it off, the home’s wraparound porches showcase sweeping mountain views that capture the very spirit of the Blue Ridge.

​

The charm doesn’t stop at the front porch. The town of Floyd is known for its live music, welcoming shops, great dining, wineries, and a local brewery—all just minutes away. Best of all, the inn is located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, giving guests easy access to scenic trails and outdoor adventures. With such a perfect setting, Jenny and John have found the ideal place to share their love of hospitality and create memorable experiences for every guest who walks through their door.
