The hosts are so accommodating, and really make you feel at home. The rooms all have a different theme, and each are appointed with antique furnishing and other neat decor. This visit we stayed in the Seaside room, and loved it. The breakfast is by far one of my favorite parts of the place! We stayed for 3 nights, and enjoyed different options each morning. We would always start with a small yogurt & fruit parfait sprinkled with some nuts on top. For our main entrees, we tried the lemon ricotta pancakes, 2 eggs with hash browns, and the shrimp & grits. All delicious! They also had these amazing biscuits served with butter and jam (to die for). We enjoyed every moment of our stay. They have a beautiful porch with rocking chairs to relax in the shade. Their lawn is like a golf course, and great to play croquet on. We highly recommend this bed & breakfast for a unique experience.

Homemade cookies and other snacks are available in the guest kitchen (peanuts, raisins, popcorn, apples), as well as cold drinks in the common-use fridge, not far from the pool table. We were allowed to bring our bikes that we took to Callaway Gardens today inside overnight. We forgot one of my son's toys and Judy called to tell us, and offered us Cokes when we swung back by to get it. She is an incredibly attentive hostess, who even wears Victorian era dress. There is no downside to choosing to be her guest!

I rarely ever leave reviews, but what my family and I experienced at this venue deserves to be…read moreknown. This was supposed to be a beautiful, joyful weekend celebrating my cousin's wedding in Alexander City, Alabama. Family members traveled from all over, some driving over ten hours, others flying in, just to be there. The property itself was absolutely stunning, but the owners' behavior completely ruined any chance of it being the special and happy weekend it was meant to be. From the moment we arrived, the woman who owns the bed and breakfast was immediately rude, condescending, and unwelcoming, an attitude that carried throughout the entire weekend. She spoke to guests like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. During the rehearsal, both owners micromanaged everything, constantly interrupting, yelling, and talking down to the bridal party as if it were their wedding. We were all there to celebrate and help, but their behavior made everyone uncomfortable . It didn't stop there. At one point, my sister's two children were playing a game on their Nintendo Switch in the living room. The woman actually went over and scolded my nephew, telling him to give his brother a turn because she was "tired of hearing him scream." Then, unbelievably, she came back with a TIMER and told the kids they had to take turns. Who in their right mind disciplines guests' children like that? The entire family was shocked that she thought that kind of overstepping was acceptable. Another disturbing moment was when my three-year-old daughter needed to use the restroom. She ran up the steps toward the bathroom we had just used an hour earlier, and before she could even get inside, the same woman stopped her and said, "No, no, no, you need to turn around and go back to your adult." The woman clearly didn't know I was walking around the corner and overheard this. My child was about to have an accident, and this woman was more concerned with controlling people than being kind or accommodating. It was truly unbelievable. To make matters worse, the male owner MOVED MY CAR without permission, claiming it was for parking purposes, yet by the end of the night, the space was empty. They THREW AWAY over $500 worth of catering that the family had paid for, simply because they "didn't want it sitting out." Their controlling attitude and lack of respect were beyond anything I've ever experienced. And the final straw? During the reception, the female owner snatched a microphone out of a guest's hand mid-song, claiming "we don't do karaoke here," despite the fact that karaoke had been going on for hours with the bride and groom's full permission. When confronted, she and her husband escalated the situation and actually had a member of the family kicked out of the wedding The rest of us left in protest. It was heartbreaking to see such an important day end in chaos because of two people who should never be in the hospitality business. This venue is physically beautiful, but beauty means nothing when it's run by people who treat guests so poorly. The owners are controlling, unprofessional, and completely out of touch with how to treat others. They ruined what should have been one of the happiest days of our family's life, and that's something we'll never forget. If you're considering booking your wedding or event here, please don't. No matter how pretty the pictures look, the experience behind them is anything but. You deserve better than to have your once-in-a-lifetime day destroyed by people like this.

We only had very general ideas about our destination each day, so nothing was booked in advance. I'd generally go online to book something only hours in advance of our arrival. Such was the case when we arrived at Hogan House at Rose Hill. Poor Linda didn't even know we were arriving and she was clearly ready for some alone time with a glass of wine, but she was ever so gracious in showing us around the house and even upgraded our room for us. Most amazingly, she asked if we had any food restrictions for breakfast the next morning and barely blinked an eye when I told her that I eat anything, but my husband is vegan. Although out of her comfort zone, Linda not only stepped up to the challenge, she delivered! She even made separate dishes for each of us even though told her that was unnecessary (after all, **I** don't make two meals at home!)

My girlfriend and I wanted to getaway for the weekend and our internet searches brought to us to…read moreColumbus Georgia. Our main reason to visit the area wasn't Fort Benning but to explore Providence Canyon State Park. We initially wanted to stay at a B&B near the Florida border but decided to book a room at the Pound House Inn. The Inn is located in an older nieghborhood with several remodeled homes. It's three blocks away from the waterfront district. I was really surprised when I pulled up to see such a luxurious home, manicured hedges, large deck with chairs and the inside gathering area had finished floors and antique furniture. We checked in by meeting with the innkeeper who showed us to our room the Governor Forsyth suite. We walked around the side of the main house through a wooden gate and gravel path to the dillingham cottage.This building had a small deck and front door. Through the door, a hallway led to two rooms one them being the Governor Forsyth suite. Once inside the suite, the room has it's own small foyer type area. A countertop with window and chair. Below was a very small box mini fridge. Past the foyer on the left is a door where the toilet is located and the sink is on the outside. The corner of the room is the extra large 2 person jucuzzi tub with overhead shower inside. In the middle of the room is a fireplace with cut outs on both sides making it visible from either side of the room. Beyond the fireplace is where the bed is located and small tv with satelite capabilites. The suite wae very nice. The innkeeper gave us a tour and explained the building was 150 years old. He gave us a key for the deadbolt and said he lived on site. He gave us a telephone number to reach him just in case. The room had everything we needed. It was cozy and felt like it should a luxury room at a B&B. The bed was comfrontable but had an uncovered window at the top of the wall near the ceiling that let light in early morning. The Tv was probably 32-34 inches with a basic satellite package. We didnt use the gas fireplace with activation nob nearby. The tub worked great and we never ran out of hot water. The wierd thing there isn't a separate shower. The shower head isn't adjustable and is on a high pressure setting. There is a () shaped tub/shower has a curtain for privacy. The first night at the inn we saw a extremely large palmetto bug above the TV. It was literally the largest palmetto bug I've ever seen. This was the only time we seen a bug. No ants or roaches infestation was seen. Although spotting the palmetto bug was unsettling, bugs like these are common and there bound to get in. We decided to walk to the waterfront area (three blocks east of the Inn). While walking we passed other cottages with suites available and many old homes turned into law offices and other businesses. The first building when we reached the waterfront area was the government center. Beyond this building, many restaurants (mostly upscale) can found along with Columbus State University. We visited the river walk and several shops and listened to street performers playing music. We had a nice time at this Inn. We weren't offered wine and crackers. We didn't visit the main house for breakfast. At check in, I saw travel packs of cereal, Pop-Tarts and yogurts available. I think for the price guests should be offered cooked breakfast. I did some research and found a restaurant used to operate a few houses down and supplied the Inn with gourmet breakfast for guests but after it closed this practice stopped. Both times I visited the main house, the innkeeper had a tv dinner on a table. I couldn't expect him to cook for me when he isn't cooking for himself. A white cat named lucy could be found on the porch or roaming around outside. This feline is the innkeeper's pet and is super friendly and wasn't affraid to jump in my lap and beg for attention We stayed for two nights and weren't bothered. Another couple stayed in a different suite one of those nights and the other we were the only guests on site. Ultimately, I think the pound house inn was a great alternative to hotels in the area. The price is steep but what it offers was worth the stay. The innkeeper was hospitable and his historic Inn offered great in room lodging amenities.
