This place would be so perfect for a family reunion or a high school reunion or a wedding really fancy pants event. The sound is great if you're a musician looking for a great stage to play on, you've found it.

Wow! This newly-renovated & reopened event venue is just amazing! When I first moved to Athens, I…read moreknow I saw the closed-down version of the place at a distance. It always intrigued me. But I was thrilled to know that they reopened it for multi-purpose events. I first came during the soft opening during the Fiddlers' Reunion weekend & saw a live concert happening. I also came for the "Art On The Bricks" event. It's neat that they can move the stage, since for the soft opening the stage was on the right brick wall (with the audience portable fold-out chairs situated so that the left & right were further apart than the front & back), & for "Art On The Bricks" the stage was on the back wall (with the windows & view of the town square parking lot behind it). For the art show, there was more space to look at tables of displayed artwork, munch on finger foods (catered by Railway Cafe, next door), sip on drinks (wine, water, or tea), & you could mingle around or sit down (upstairs in the balcony or at some standing-friendly downstairs tables). The restrooms are also nice, & very well-maintained, with plenty of multiple stalls. The upstairs balcony is really neat. It's a great place to sit & eat at small tables (or move them together for bigger groups), or you can sit at a bar-like table overlooking the balcony if you have a smaller group. Overlooking the balcony was an incredible view! I'm staying posted on future events held here, because I definitely want to keep coming back!

The tour they gave us was so much more in-depth and natural. Learned a lot! We enjoyed a great meal while there - so fresh and tasty they should serve dinner! They already serve breakfast, check out the beautiful home (Tara Inn) with rooms for enjoying an overnight stay at the vineyard out in the country. We walked around the grounds, so dress comfortably. There were all kinds of farmyard animals and they showed us some of the equipment used to make the wine. I purchased two bottles of the Texas Twang. It was a little sweeter than I usually like but it had such a great flavor. I also purchased a bottle of Orange Muscat Dessert. Out of the 3 locations we visited, this was our favorite. Check it out!

First, as we pulled up to the very easy to find hotel, the grounds were well manicured, clean and appeasing to the eyes. Walking into the lobby, the artwork, décor, sounds and aroma all were saying WELCOME and You made the right decision staying here! Then the very personable, helpful and friendly staff confirmed it even more! The check-in process was fast, pleasant and enjoyable (Bet you haven't used that word with a hotel check-in in a while.). The room matched all else we'd seen so far. The linen was fresh, clean and nice. The room was very clean and comfortable. Great bed! The next morning, the breakfast was quite good. I loved the Texas shaped waffles with the huge heart in them. The rest of the food was really good and even more so for a smaller motel in a smaller town!
