A Macon Treasure: The 1842 Inn!

We were captivated at check in when we were greeted by Miss JoAnne Dillard at the front desk. A delightful treasure that added to the beauty of the front parlor! We had a comfortable, pleasant, relaxing stay as the staff was very accommodating, and made us feel quite at home.

Our weekend in Macon was delightful thanks to the 1842 Inn. Very clean and quiet. We were in the cottage behind the main house and loved it! From check in to check out everything was great. The staff is outstanding and made us feel so relaxed and special. Don’t miss the Mint Juleps at cocktail time!

I do not recommend this property. Insist on staying in the main house. The cottage is where I stayed and it was substandard in all respects. I also paid 18 dollars for a glass of cheap wine. This is not the Inn experience I am used to.

Absolutely beautiful special hotel. Besides being an amazing piece of history it is also a very beautiful property in a beautiful area. Perfectly clean, stylish large room, we got spoiled by Sarah as we sat on the glorious porch in rocking chairs and had refreshments. Breakfast was delicious and all the staff were so warm and friendly. Well done. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to the USA.

Everyone at the Inn was so wonderful. They made my stay there feel like I was visiting with family. I went up for my brother who was in the hospital and they all rallied behind me to keep my spirits up. From the beautiful grounds to the amazing architecture and furnishings you just get this incredible sense of relaxation and comfort. We will be back!!!!! Thank you Katie, Felicia and Rachel.

This was only a one night stay and the historical hotel was very interesting and fun to stay at. I liked the fact we could have our breakfast in our room or in the main building. Which was very tasty. The staff very kind.

This stay was an unexpected highlight of our trip. The house is wonderfully decorated with beautiful antiques. There were many comfortable rooms to sit in outside of our bedroom. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was truly gourmet. They set up a small table for me and my wife in front of a fireplace in a private room. The food and service were outstanding, and it was fun to meet the chef, who gave us the recipes. They even had a free charger for my electric car. And it was fun to see photos of people like Oprah Winfrey who had stayed there. I wish I could give six stars!
