ABOUT YOUR HOSTS

Ellen Whiteside: A wanderer from the start

Ellen, a native South Carolinian, was born with an adventurous spirit. After graduating from Clemson University and working for a year in Washington, D.C., she followed her heart and traveled throughout Europe. Smitten with the idyllic lifestyle there, she searched for the most European city in the US upon her return. Ellen contentedly called Portland, Oregon home for 22 years, working as a licensed massage therapist. Needing more blue sky in her life, she returned to the south in 2003 where a serendipitous meeting united her with true love, Tim Beebe. Since May 2006, they have owned the Bed and Bike Inn, (often referred to as a small slice of heaven), in Gold Hill, NC.

Tim Beebe : He’ll keep you in stitches

Born in Sloan, Iowa, Tim became a transplanted southerner, residing in rural Bethune, South Carolina, for many years. (Think one stoplight, a Piggly Wiggly and a liquor store and you get the picture.) Raised on a large poultry and cattle farm, he acquired the skills to fix just about anything – a must for an innkeeper. Comical, warm and gregarious, he is an adventure in and of himself.

A Hospitality Dream Team

Tim and Ellen cover all the bases to make your visit memorable. Whether you need advice on local happenings and places of interest, a relaxing on-site massage, a customized tour package or a roaring bonfire, they will ensure your experience will be one to remember and one to repeat.

Wooza-Wooza, the inn dog, will make sure your stay here is an enjoyable one.  She loves to hang out with guests and has a special way of making each person feel welcome. Living in "dog heaven", she likes to walk the trails with guests and is always willing to play fetch or relax on the front porch of the log home.

Whether you’re looking for a unique adventure or just some peace and quiet, the Bed and Bike Inn is your spot for the perfect getaway.
