If you are looking for a relaxing and charming B&B getaway, this is NOT the place. While the property is historical and the interior is elegant, the new owner doesn't have the experience to run the place properly.
As two young professionals from Atlanta, we decided to take time off and relax in North Georgia. We splurged for the exec suite ($350/night) so we could enjoy the room amenities like fireplaces and bathtub. We were expecting a quaint and low-key B&B experience. However, after numerous mishaps, we would definitely recommend anyone considering this place to look elsewhere.
Punch list of only a few issues:
Amenities misrepresented
Both fireplaces in room not functional (for years now- yet still advertised on websites)
Bathtub had pink mold and hair (not from a head)
Sheets not clean and smelled strongly of must
Service
Owner and majority of kitchen staff didn't wear masks (during COVID spike)
Rushed us out of breakfast so owner could go to Costco (we showed up during the 15 minute breakfast window given)
Restaurant staff was unprofessional and/or not knowledgeable of menu items like wine list
It felt like we were an inconvenience to the owner and staff to be there (and we were the only couple there for one of the nights)
After our first night, we mentioned the condition of the room to the owner and he contacted someone to clean. When we returned to the room it was much cleaner, thankfully. But it made me wonder if it was even cleaned before, as we noticed the carpet had been vacuumed that day but not before our arrival.
Anyway, the place has potential to be great and hope they can work out the kinks, but until then, there are nice spots for less. read more
