Welcome to Central Florida’s most charming bed & breakfast, The Stanford Inn.
Situated in the historic downtown district of Bartow, Florida, The Stanford Inn is a lovely Victorian retreat for travelers from around the world.
Originally built in 1906 by Mr. T. L. Wilson, a prominent attorney, The Stanford Inn offers six delightfully decorated and comfortable guest rooms; each with its own private bathroom, cable television and wireless internet access. Guests will enjoy the freshly-made daily gourmet breakfast served in the gracious turn-of-the-century atmosphere of the Stanford Inn. Outdoors guests can discover the inn’s tropical gardens as well as the outdoor pool. One-of-a-kind antiques, artwork and furnishings complete the warm Southern hospitality.
This picturesque bed and breakfast is situated on a quiet corner lot in downtown Bartow, known as “The City of Oaks and Azaleas”. The home itself offers an expansive covered porch at the entryway with rocking chairs for relaxing and unwinding. Bartow, Florida, is conveniently located a short drive from a variety of popular Central Florida destinations including Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay, and Legoland in Winter Haven.
Cinephiles may recognize The Stanford Inn from its prominent feature as the Sultenfuss’ residence in the 1991 film “My Girl,” starring Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Stanford Inn, “A Beautiful Place for Beautiful Memories.

Put The Spark Back:
Now and then, it’s good for the soul, the relationship and the marriage to spend some time together – just the two of you – in a romantic setting with excellent and exciting food and delicious wine.
The Graingers at The Stanford Inn have planned a special evening for you and your significant other, called “Date Night At The Inn,” at a remarkably low cost of $24 per person. Date Night is planned for two nights only: September 10 and October 8, 2011.
The Chef has created a four-course menu that is both stimulating and delicious and includes traditionally romantic foods that will delight the palate.
Appetizers include a choice of scallops on half shell with mango salsa, brie and berries, roasted red pepper bisque, or potato pancakes topped with honey-smoked salmon and caviar.
Salad choices are Stanford house salad greens with mandarin oranges, almonds and craisins; iceburg wedge with bleu cheese and bacon crumbles; or fresh melon with basil cream sauce.
Whatever your mood, the two of you are going to be pleased with a choice of entrees: prime rib with horseradish crème and aujus; Stanford stuffed chicken (spinach, onions, red pepper, garlic, pine nuts, crème and bleu cheese); or Gulf coast group (blackened, grilled or fried). Side items include baked potato (regular or sweet), fire roasted corn, yellow rice, steamed veggies or honey glazed carrots.
For dessert, order two from a choice of warm caramel apple bread pudding (you HAVE to try this!), turtle cheesecake or chocolate fondue with fruit.
To make the evening complete, your hosts Becky and Tony Grainger will provide complimentary wine.
A date night with your better half, at the only four-star restaurant in Bartow, at a low cost that will probably never be repeated, free wine – what else could you ask for? Make reservations today.
The Stanford Inn, Tea Room and 555 Fine Dining is located at 555 E. Stanford Street in Bartow. For more information, call (863) 533-2393,
