We stayed in this very old inn just as a place to break up a very long drive home from mountains. Most "interesting" place we have stayed at yet. I get the impression that our extremely large room was the only one with any A/C in that very large house. Great king size bed and mattress. The breakfast included wonderful fresh fruit selection and plenty of it while the main course was just plain French toast with nothing else. The Extra Service Bonus happened when I lost a date/address book outside and did not miss it until far away. Calls and searches finally found this book that was very valuable to me and they mailed it immediately. A real relief. The budget price of $75 included a few minor negatives: tiny 13" TV with satellite connection was difficult to view but not a big deal. Bathroom visits involved a walk down, and then up, stairs outside of room.....14 steps in all. The bathroom seemed clean enough but was tiny and the sink almost did not drain.

Innkeeper Response
We are a bed and breakfast home stay - not a fancy inn and always try to make our guests as welcome and as comfortable as possible. I was out of town during this guests stay but had informed them when they made the reservation that my daughter would be taking care of them. She prepared the breakfast as I had instructed her to do. She served fruit, french toast, coffee and juice. They were there on a weekday and we normally do not prepare as much food then, as week day guests are usually in the area for a meeting or conference and will be sitting a lot or they are passing through and will be on the road sitting in a car and prefer a lighter meal. I measured the TV in this room and it is a 19" screen. Granted, the room is 20 X 20 and it is a distance from the bed to the screen, but we have provided chairs that can be moved to any position for TV viewing. All the bed rooms and the den have air conditioners, but the temps were low and the humidity nil that week, so we had them turned off. We try to conserve as much energy as possible because this 6000 s/f, 200 year old house eats gas, electricity, and money! We don't like to be closed up in an artificial environment unless it is necessary and the kitchen is usually quite cool in the morning. We pull air from the shaded front through the house with a large exhaust fan so there is usually a nice breeze in the hallway. The baths are shared and there are vanities in each room for dressing. When retrofitting an antebellum house in a national historic district it is difficult to add large baths within the original footprint as is usually required. We try to go out of our way to accommodate our guests wishes and did not mind at all searching for this guests lost property and getting it to the post office as quickly as possible.

We booked a few days at Hummingbird House to visit a daughter, who is a vet student at UGA. Linda was a gracious hostess, who was very attentive to us and cooked us a delicious breakfast at whatever time we asked her. She knew a lot about the community and we enjoyed both her and her lovely home. We plan to stay at Hummingbird House on our next visit and feel like Linda is a friend!

My husband and I just returned from a weekend with Linda at the Hummingbird House. We planned to arrive Friday evening around 8, but due to weather arrived at 11. Linda was waiting up for us and made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were great and she gave us great directions to the local towns that we wanted to visit. We will definitely return; I feel that I have gained a wonderful friend!

This is a quiet relaxing B&B with easy access to Athens (16 miles away). It served as a good base for exploring the lakes and parks of this region of Georgia as well as the many quaint towns and villages.

My boyfriend and I were on a 12 day road trip from Texas to New York for the New Year. On our way back from NY, we stopped in Georgia and stayed at this Bed and Breakfast. The place was GORGEOUS and the Inn keeper, Linda, was full of great stories. Her breakfast was delicious!!! This made our trip even more fun and romantic!!!

This was probably the most informal B&B I've been to. As the only guest, I very much felt like I was staying with friend who went all out to accommodate me. I arrived on Friday night after a long drive and the Innkeeper, who lives on the property, was willing to stay up to wait for me. The purpose of my visit was to attend a wedding on Sat afternoon in Athens so I had time for a leisurely breakfast at a time of my choosing, who sat and ate with me. Late Saturday morning I choose to read in the front room and I was very pleased to be given the privacy to enjoy my book. Because of the informal arrangement, for example that you would walk through the innkeeper's living area to have breakfast in the kitchen, this may not be for some. But my room this early 1800s house was neat and clean and an exceptional value. Sassy, the innkeeper's cat was a trip and lives on the property so those with allergies should note. I have two cats so it just added to the homey vibe.

This was my first stay at a bed & breakfast, & it was most definitely a positive experience. The house was beautiful & well cared for. The innkeeper was friendly & attentive, but not overwhelming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hummingbird House B&B. It felt like a home away from home and was very relaxing for a football weekend in Athens. We look forward to our upcoming stays in this quaint old home with true southern hospitality.

I had a brief mid-week stay at the Hummingbird House B&B while attending a training class in Athens, GA. The home is absolutely beautiful, the bountiful breakfasts were served to meet my schedule, and I quickly felt like I was staying at a friend's house. I would happily stay there again in the future.
