I would agree with other reviewers - if you need modern amenities, give this a miss. If you need peace and quiet and a home away from home, you cannot do any better. Larry and Carolyn are simply the best. We have already stayed there twice and if we need to get back to Brandon, we will stay there again.

for those who are into modern accommodation, I would say: give this place a miss. If however, you are looking for something of the beaten path, then this is the place to book. A stay in "Behind the fence" is more than a B&B experience: it is an encounter with a different lifestyle all together. The accommodation is basic but... More

We booked based on rustic style in newer construction. The cabin was hot when we arrived and we were told there is no way tenants can control room/cabin temperatures. The owner said they would set the unit for cool while we were at dinner with relatives. Upon returning later that night there was no improvement and no air movement or... More

When we entered Behind the Fence Bed and Breakfast Inn it was like stepping back in time to the early 1800's in New England. I've been to museums furnished just like this wonderful place and I wasn't allowed to touch anything. Here, I was actually encouraged to touch anything I wanted to!

The hotel was fine, the pleasure of Carolyn and husband’s company was great, and the bonus of interesting guests from around the world made the visit most enjoyable!

Very cozy and very 1800's. Carolyn and Larry are great hosts. We had a lot of laughs and told a lot of stories. We really enjoyed staying there. We loved Brandon too. Great restaurants, no need to go to Tampa. We had plans to go but did not. We were happy just staying at the B&B and in town. Good... More

6reat old world country charm. Absolutely great innkeepers. Conveinient location close to everything.Very very peaceful lodging. If you like antiques and old world architecture this is the place for you.

The kindness of strangers is reflected well by the owners Larry and Carolyn Yoss. Excellent attempt to turn back the closk to reflect what is probably a very realistic look at how life was a few decades in the past. This was not the style for the poor or the well to do at that time but represents what we... More
