I recently stayed at the Americus Garden Inn B & B while in Americus attending a conference. It changed my whole business trip experience. I was more relaxed and rested than usual. The house is lovely, the rooms large, well-appointed with comfortable beds, and private, modern baths. Every thing is extremely clean and there is incredible attention to detail to help travelers feel at home. There is free wireless access, although I admit I never checked email -- was simply feeling too relaxed! Kim and Susan are gracious and informative and serve an incredibly delicious breakfast. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to chat and network with colleagues in this home-like setting. We also got a chance to walk around the neighborhood and enjoy the historic homes as well as visit the downtown and the Habatat for Humanity Global village - which was very interesting. I really can't say enough about it and will definitely stay again should I return to the annual conference. Thanks so much to the innkeepers!

Coming over from England to the USA for our first wedding anniversary was an easy decision for us - we love it here! however, trying to find somewhere romantic, cute, clean and helpful but still be reasonably priced wasn't so easy! With the state of Georgia as our playing field we had a wide variety of places to stay! However, after a long and hard trawl through hotels and B&B's, we finally booked Americus. I think it was the best decision we made for our entire holiday. Communication before our trip was fantastic, we were greeted personally as we were getting out of the car, had a lovely tour round the beautiful inn and was then shown our wonderful wonderful room. We stayed in the Jacuzzi suite (which, by the way, the pictures do not do justice to!). We were welcomed to our room by a 'congratulations' banner over our door and scattered red petals and chocolates in a heart shaped bowl on our bed. It was such a beautiful personal touch. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and jacuzzi to die for! We were sad we only had one night there but it was a fantastic stay and beautiful B&B. Highly recommend it.

My mother, my sister and myself decided to stay at a B&B as our final destination to a wk long trip through Georgia and TN. This was all of our "first time" stay at a B&B. We did our research online for all B&B from Atlanta to Valdosta. This particular one kept us coming back to it, so we booked our night stay there. Upon Arrival, Susan and Kim, (the innkeepers) met us at our car to help us carry our belongings in. Susan gave us a wonderful tour of the house as well as history. We were greeted with fresh baked cookies! Our room was huge and delightful. Kim called several restaurants to see who was open and still serving dinner. After dinner we took a bottle of wine and sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the evening. They even had movies for us to borrow and watch that night. In the morning we were delighted with a great southern breakfast, and I mean Yummy!! along with great conversation. We were sad to have to leave after only one night there. Susan wrapped the remainder of our muffins for our trip home, and they supplied us with drinks as well. We will be returning for a longer stay soon. What a wonderful first time experience we had thanks to the care of Susan and Kim to make sure our trip was a success. Great place to stay!

As a single business traveler, I felt the need for a safe and secure place to stay. I definitely found that with the Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast. The hosts of this beautiful house made me feel welcome. Every afternoon, I was greeted at the door with a "Welcome Home". After staying with them for 14 nights, it was most definitely home. Any one who travels to Americus, GA needs to investigate this place. Due to training with my job, I traveled for six months. This was absolutely the BEST place I stayed. I am currently planning a return visit to the Americus Bed & Breakfast - this time for pleasure and not work. This is the place I will stay anytime I have the need to be in the area and to stay overnight. I can not say enough about how wonderful Susan and Kim are.

I wanted to do something unique to celebrate my husband's 49th birthday, so part of my plans included an overnight stay at this lovely home. This was our very first experience staying at a Bed & Breakfast, and while I knew it would be a memorable experience, I had no idea how luxuriously pampered we would be! Our room was so beautiful. So elegant and comfortable. And there was a little dish on our bed, filled with an assortment of chocolates. We truly felt spoiled. That evening, we enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony glider swing. The gardens were lit and we could hear the soft trickle of the water fountain in the koi pond. And that morning, we watched the sun rise to some fabulously brewed coffee and gazed at the gorgeous gardens. Once we headed downstairs for breakfast, we could smell such delicious aromas coming from the kitchen! A 3-course breakfast awaited us ~ all homemade, and some of the items were Susan's very own recipes. Everything was absolutely delicious. This was the best breakfast of my LIFE! I highly recommend this beautiful Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast to anyone. Once you've been here, you'll probably never be truly satisfied to stay in a hotel.

We've stayed in dozens of bed and breakfasts around the country, but our experience at the Americus Garden Inn was the best ever. Susan was simply remarkable! She was incredibly thoughtful in every way. She learned that we were vegans and then prepared special breakfasts and cookies that were delicious! (We certainly didn’t expect any special treatment!) She called local restaurants to find a chef who could accommodate us – and then called to get a table for us. She was wonderful with our young niece – really listening to her ideas and making lovely suggestions regarding some plans the child was considering when she returned to school. And she provided interesting information about questions we asked about the area’s history. Susan is an engaging, knowledgeable, and gracious host -- really a gem of a person. We came away extremely impressed – AND the place was spotless, too! A+!

The owners, Kim & Susan, are an amazing husband and wife team who felt more like our long-lost friends rather than the inn proprietors. From fresh baked cookies each evening to Susan's ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE gourmet breakfasts, the dining was fabulous.

Kim and Susan offer the best of southern hospitality right down to chocolates in your room, snacks in the dining room, video library, and the best breakfast we have ever had. Susan also told us how to best see the attractions nearby. Both Andersonville and Plains, Ga are just minutes away.Whether you are sightseeing in south Georgia or just want a romantic getaway, this is the place to stay. Our only regret was that we only had one night to enjoy. We will definitley be back. Thank you Kim and Susan for sharing your beautiful home and gardens with us. Debbie and Joe

We stayed in Americus for one night one Saturday this summer as we were driving through to get to Jimmy Carter's speech the day after, and one of the friends I was travelling with found this lovely B&B on the web. It looked gorgeous, and we were not disappointed! The owners were very friendly and warm, and gave us a tour of the house and showed us directly to our room - we were in the Burgundy Room on the 2nd floor, and it was a very nice room; to top it all off, there were chocolates, snacks and home-baked cookies waiting for us! What a treat! Snacks and drinks were included for the duration of our stay, and we could help ourselves to whatever we wanted - a nice touch, I thought. The gardens around the property are excellent for an afternoon of reading or sunbathing (there are several hammocks dotted around). Breakfast is a story in itself - 3 courses with fruit, juices, pancakes and quiche. Amazing!! All in all a super B&B and we would definitely come again if we're ever in the area.

I knew after talking on the phone with Susan, that we were in for an absolutely wonderful experience. When we pulled into the driveway, we took a step back in time. The Garden Inn is a beautiful antebellum home with an expertly maintained garden and landscape. We were welcomed on the porch by our hosts Susan and Kim and were offered fresh baked chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven. It was like coming home from a very long trip. Susan and Kim are simply wonderful caring people who love their inn and catering to their guests. They were very helpful in suggesting places to eat and area attractions. The Magnolia Suite was magnificent down to the smallest detail and was absolutely spotless. The highlight of our stay had to be that "Welcome Home Feeling" from Susan and Kim and Susan's gourmet breakfast fit for a king. The only thing that we didn't like was having to leave on Sunday morning. We will definitely be back in the Fall, hopefully for a longer visit. Larry and Vicki

Susan met us in the parking lot, calling us by name like we were long lost friends or family. She was so friendly and nice that we felt right at home. She has a world of information about the house, the area. Places to see and places to eat. We had the run of the house, lots of snacks and drinks. Also Susan cooked the most wonderful breakfasts that you ever tasted. She also made sure before you got there that she would not serve you anything that you didn't like.

There is a large parlor/music room and an inviting dining room. And the food! Susan is a master chef, preparing a delicious 3-course breakfast including made-from-scratch chocolate chip & peanut butter pancakes, blueberry muffins, quiche, fruit... and the food presentation is like something seen on Food Network. Susan is very knowledgeable about the area and gave great suggestions on restaurants and info about historical sites to visit. She is charming and makes you feel at ease.

We have visited many B & B’s in our travels over the years and after visiting Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast we must give it a 5 star rating. When planning a trip to Knoxville, TN from Florida we wanted to stay some place about half way between. After researching the internet I called Americus Garden Inn B&B to check on accommodations. What a wonderful conversation we had with Susan Egelseer and when we arrived at the B&B we were greeted by one of the most gracious hostess’s we have ever experienced. Susan received us like family and treated us like honored guests. The beautiful old home has spacious clean rooms and is located on a large landscaped lot in a quiet neighborhood. Good restaurants and shopping are just a short drive away. The breakfasts that Susan served us were all home made and have just the right portions to satisfy your appetite and start off your day not to mention the presentation of the meal. Homemade muffins (if you like blueberries, she is the champ), fruit, eggs, specialty pancakes and something I can never get at any restaurant, V8 juice. On our return trip from Knoxville we arrived early in the afternoon and visited the Andersonville Civil War Village and Historical Site and National POW Museum and Cemetery in nearby Andersonville GA before heading to the B&B. Our evening stay and morning breakfast was just a wonderful. If you get an opportunity to stay with Kim & Susan at the Americus B&B you had better take advantage of it or you will be missing a wonderful experience. We can’t wait for our next trip to Knoxville

Before we got there Susan called to check on food preferences/needs and to talk about our trip and make suggestions on time planning (which was VERY helpful). She let me know about events that would be going on the weekend we were there. Her and her husband both gave great advice on places to eat dinner, and asked where we ate and how was it. They are very friendly and make you feel very comfortable. My husband travels a lot and this is the first time he actually got a good night sleep on his first night in a place other than our house. The house is set up so you can easily have complete privacy or meet the other guest, which ever you prefer. Over all it was as comfortable as if I were at home, but not having to worry about cleaning or cooking. Speaking of cooking...the breakfast is incredible.

Best of all was the warmth of the host and hostess who greeted us as friends and saw us off as even better friends. My advice -- drive out of your way for this one!

Planning a trip to Florida in June, 2007, we searched on the internet for a B & B to stop at along the way. Americus Garden Inn had great reviews and looked appealing so we made reservations. Just arriving at this charming home and meeting Kim and Susan assured us that we had made the right decision. After seeing our lovely room and all the amenities that were available throughout the day, then experiencing a gourmet breakfast in the morning, we knew this was the best B & B ever. When making our plans to visit Florida again in January of this year, there was no doubt where we would be stopping along the way. Once again, it was a wonderful experience. Kim and Susan have a real knack of making you feel like friends or family. It's a must stop for us when we travel south. Make a reservation today...you'll love it.

My husband and I wanted to stay at a B&B in a different part of the State - not too far away but far enough to feel that we had gotten away (since it was a quick trip). I found Americus Garden Inn B&B through the Internet. Great reviews, so we thought we'd give it a try. We booked for one night and it turned out to be a great experience! We truly felt that we had a special 24 hours. The B&B is charming. Susan and Kim are wonderful hosts - friendly and welcoming. Everything was so CLEAN. We felt right at home and very comfortable. We learned some history, were steered to a very good restaurant for dinner, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. It is obvious that Susan and Kim enjoy what they do and we felt that they really cared if we were happy and comfortable. Will we stay there again? - do doubt about it!

Americus Garden Inn is one of my favorite places to stay for a relaxing respite. Kim and Susan are wonderful hosts! Susan even noticed my husband's picky taste and tried to accommodate it the next day at breakfast! Speaking of breakfast, yum! Getting to read the menu every night really made your mouth water for the next morning, would going to bed earlier get breakfast here quicker? What lovely rooms too! Can't wait to get back!

Recently my husband and I stayed for two nights in December, 2008, at the Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast because of the wonderful reviews. The reviews were accurate. We made an excellent choice. Susan and Kim go out of their way to make sure that your stay is relaxing and enjoyable. They treat you as treasured friends and guests. We rate their bed and breakfast as 5-Star! Breakfast is served in a lovely dining room. Susan prepares delicious gourmet breakfasts while keeping individuals' tastes and dietary restrictions in mind. You will not leave disappointed nor hungry! Kim is a fine host, too. Drinks, fruit and snacks are available around the clock in the dining room. They have a large collection of movies and reading material. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. The beds have beautiful linens. The entire bed and breakfast is kept immaculately clean. The house features high ceilings, wide halls, original wood floors and fireplaces, etc. Landscaping is beautiful. There are so many things about the Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast that you will love. Staying here is a grand experience. Americus, GA, is fortunate to have such a gem. We plan to stay here again.

I stumbled across the Americus Garden Inn B&B looking for a place to stay as close as possible to the Magnolia Manor campus there in town. It was such a wonderful experience, I know I will return. The rooms are described on their website, but the extras are what will bring you back. I slept each night in jacquard sheets in a very comfortable king size bed, and woke each day to a breakfast that was exquisite. Kim and Susan did everything possible to make me feel at home. The historic house has modern anemities that blend into the Southern history and hospitality. Business travelers will find all they need to conduct business while staying here. Others will find Americus charming and welcoming. Plan your days to see the sights around Americus, but save a morning or two to just enjoy the conversation at breakfast and the gardens surrounding the house.

Americus Garden Inn is a glimpse into the Old South. Kim provided us with a history lesson of the home which was built in 1847. The rooms are large with very high ceilings. We stayed in the Burgundy room which has a ceiling fan and we found it to be spacious and clean. Snacks are available at any time of the day or night. A video tape collection is available for lending. There is a piano in the front parlor. Guests come and go but you may opt either to meet others or maintain privacy as you choose. A homemade breakfast was prepared by Susan and was delicious. We sat on informal soft leather couches for our first breakfast and at a more formal table our second. Kim and Susan proved to be gracious hosts and we had an interesting conversation about the Southern way of life, then and now. We would like to give Americus Garden Inn our highest rating. 5 stars.

Owners were wonderful and friendly. When we checked in they provided a history lesson about the area including the B & B. Our accommodations were great. We stayed in the old school house out back of the B & B which was a large suite including a kitchen, bedroom with a large bath and walk-in closet. Provided a diabetic breakfast each morning as my husband has diabetes. It was wonderful. We had a keyless entry to our suite plus the main house. We loved this because we have a difficult time keeping tabs on our keys. Susan even called me direct after I had made the reservations on line to let me know that President Carter would be teaching Sunday School the Sunday we would be in Americus if we would like to attend his church in Plains, GA. We thought this was very nice. We did attend church with President Carter and was a wonderful experience which we would recommend anyone to do so regardless of your faith. We will be returning to this B & B when we vacation again due to the wonderful accommodations and friendly treatment we received from the owners of this B & B. We would recommend this Inn highly.

After a long drive, it was so nice to arrive to a warm welcome by Kim in the parking lot. After a personal tour of the ground floor with many wonderful stories about the original family, we were escorted to a magnificent room ("The Scarlett O"Hara") complete with portrait over the mantel. Spacious, tastefully decorated with a large attached bathroom including both a shower and a jacuzzi. Kim took a lot of time to point out eateries in the area and things to see. He also told us about the opportunity to hear former President Jimmy Carter teach an adult Sunday School lesson at the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, GA, one of just a few times a year. We decided to attend and had one of the most interesting and enjoyable church experiences. Afterward, people were allowed to have their pictures taken with Mr. and Mrs. Carter so our photo has definitely become the centre of discussion among our friends. I would be remiss not to mention Susan's outstanding breakfasts. Her menus vary every day and we were treated to huge portions which kept us going well into the afternoon. Always with healthy selections, they started with scrumptious muffins hot from the oven, then fruit followed by interesting pancakes or egg dishes with meat. My husband asked for the recipes which Susan was quite willing to share. The meals were always accompanied by Kim's attentive and friendly service. Our conversations ranged over lots of topics and on our last day we did not want to leave. One night, we took a stroll through their gardens and enjoyed the many plantings, elegant gazebo and the lovely fishpond with its huge koi. This is definitely a gem of a B&B. Even if you are not interested in the area, (and there are many neat things to see including the Habitat for Humanity complex), it is worth the drive to relax in this wonderful setting and be pampered by these most hospitable folks.

Americus Garden Inn is a wonderful place for business travelers to stay. Kim and Susan go out of their way to accommodate the needs of a business traveler. They made arrangements to see that my husband had an opportunity to have breakfast even though he had to leave for work before the standard time breakfast is served. Kim went beyond the call of duty to make certain my husband had Internet access so that he could work way into the night. No problem was too large or too small for Kim and Susan to address, and they always did so with big smiles. I myself experienced the Inn as a lady of leisure, and I have never felt more at home while away from home. Susan is a wonderful cook. I so enjoyed waking to mouthwatering treats such as Spinach Frittatas and Strawberry Yogurt pancakes. Every day was a culinary delight, and if Susan knows of any special dietary needs or desires, she will do all she can to meet those needs. The facility itself is lovely. You need only read the other reviews that highlight the 1847 home’s charms. I so enjoyed rocking on the porch in the mornings or reading a book in the sitting room in the evenings. It is a short drive to Andersonville and Jimmy Carter’s compound, so history lovers will enjoy the area, too. Americus Garden Inn is not only a wonderful location for honeymooners, those on vacation, those interested in history, and those who find rest and relaxation in small towns, it is also a great place for business travelers. I look forward to my next chance to spend a night or two or more with my new friends, Kim and Susan, in their lovely Americus Garden Inn B & B.

Susan and Kim are excellent hosts. The "breakfast" in "bed and breakfast" takes on new meaning in Susan's kitchen. Every morning a delicious, healthy and visually beautiful culinary feast. (She gladly accommodated a food allergy or two, as well). The rooms are varied one to the next (over the years I've stayed in 4 different ones) but each is decorated with exquisite taste with no sacrifice in comfort. The setting benefits from Kim's lovely gardening and tons of light. It's worth heading south (or north) with the Americus Garden Inn as your destination. One of a kind, for sure.

He helped us with our bags and got us settled right away. Susan's breakfast--lovingly served by Kim--is beyond description. The three courses include her scrumptious homemade muffins, then fruit, and finally the main, mouth-watering course. Kim even packed the extra muffins for us as a snack to enjoy later in the day. Each meal was delightfully unique and served in such a way that we felt like it was "just for us." When I consider the difference in price between the Americus Garden Inn and run-of-the-mill motels, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We hope to return to Americus next year and will definitely stay, space permitting, at the Garden Inn.

I was reading guest reviews of various B&B's in order to select one for my wife's birthday. I selected Americus Garden Inn and was very pleased with my selection. The best part was that my wife was even more pleased than I was. Upon arrival, innkeeper Susan greeted us and promptly gave us a tour of the B&B as well as giving a history of the mansion. We later met Kim, Susan's husband , who was very knowledgable of activities of interest in the area. Between the two, we received a great overview of the Americus area. We stayed two nights and our room, "Scarlets Room" was very large and comfortable. Susan's breakfasts each morning were delicious and far exceeded anything my wife and I had experienced at any other B&B at which we have stayed. I had read that Susan's specialty was pancakes, my wife's favorite, and I mentioned that when I made online reservations. Later I was surprised by a call from Susan, who ask if there was any special pancakes she could prepare for us. This extra attention to detail was quite imperssive. We especially enjoyed the hospatality and conversation with other guests each morning over breakfast. Kim and Susan suggested a very nice restaurant for my wife's evening birthday meal. It turned out to a great recommendation. The only recommendation we could offer would be to improve the landscape. Due to a previous tornado, many trees on the property were lost. This has left much of the area open, however, Kim and Susan have a landscaping plan prepared and as weather permits were eager to implement it. Of course February is not the best time of the year for yard beauty. We loved this inn and would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good B&B. If we are in the Americus area, we will definately stay here.

We had the pleasure of staying for 2 nights. We didn't get to spend a lot of time at the Inn during the day because of the family reunion, but the time that we did spend was wonderful. Both Kim and Susan work very hard to add special little touches to make your stay very welcoming and pleasant. Kim was very knowledgeble on the area and he was happy to share his knowledge and answer questions, including patiently answering our sons questions. I hope that we have another reunion in Americus so that we will have the opportunity to visit the Inn again. Thank you Kim and Susan for a wonderful time.

We just stayed a Saturday and Sunday night at Americus Garden Inn. The entire stay is worthwhile. With a greeting at the door, owner Kim Egelseer tours new guests through both floors of the pre-Civil War era home. He is more than cordial, outwardly friendly and is a gracious host. Susan, his wife, was alread busy in the kitchen but peeked out to say hello. The morning breakfasts are wonderful starting with a round of muffins (including ziploc bags to take the extras home), a special Susan fruit concoction, a substantial egg creation with thee homemade pancakes and syrup. Snacks, homemade biscotti, drinks and coffee are available in the Dining Room all day long. There is a wonderful Baby Grand Piano in the parlor suitable for playing. Should you not have the ear to tap out a tune, simply follow along with the vintage sheet music atop the instrument. Wonderful conversation with owners Kim and Susan, a beautiful 19th century home in a quiet historic district, unique rooms and incredible breakfast make for a worthwhile stay.

Susan and Kim have mastered the art of making people feel at home while staying at their charming B&B which has been tastefully decorated and maintained. The three course breakfasts are delicious. Much thought and care has gone into the preparation and presentation of these breakfast meals. They are always present on the property and willing to help in any manner. Such a charming and caring couple. There information on the history and local area sights is also very helpful.

Susan and Kim are in the business of spoiling all of their guests. They have thought of everything to make your visit with them beyond enjoyable. The breakfasts are to die for! Seriously, we have never had a more delightful (and scrumptious) breakfast. Wonderful coffee was always available to us, as well as other beverages and snacks. Susan even makes her own biscotti! We ordered the bistro basket, which was waiting for us when we arrived. It was very evident how much love and kindness went into the preparation of the basket. It was so complete, that we did not need to go to dinner the first night. This was our first step to a very relaxing weekend. We stayed in the Veranda Suite, a downstairs room with a private door to the veranda. The room was beautiful, and the bed was one of the best we have ever slept in away from home. Everything was meticulously clean. Susan and Kim are very knowledgeable about the area and provide excellent tips for visiting interesting places. Our personal favorites were Andersonville and The Telephone Museum. Susan suggested we watch a video that explained the story of Andersonville. We are so glad that we took her advice. The video was very interesting and well-documented, and helped explain a lot of what we saw the next day. The Telephone Museum has to be the best-kept secret in Georgia. It was definitely worth the trip. It is an unbelievable display of the history and various stages of the telephone. We cannot say enough good things about our visit. We will definitely be back.

Upon our arrival at Americus Garden Inn, Susan immediately made us feel completely welcome and provided us with a tour of the house and information regarding local sites we might want to visit. Her home was both beautiful and invitational. My husband enjoyed the delicious and healthful snacks that were available throughout the day and evening. For people wanting good but healthy food, Susan's breakfasts are unbeatable. One of the most enjoyable parts of our visit was our conversations with Susan and Kim. We left feeling like we were leaving friends.

I was just looking for a nice place to stay with my wife while we were touring an area which had been important to my wife early in her life, but to which she had never returned since our marriage. What we found in Americus Garden Inn was so much more than just a place to stay while we were doing other things. It is worth making a destination in itself. Kim and Susan are the perfect hosts: warm, friendly, accommodating in every way. The gourmet breakfasts are truly amazing. The home has so much character: historic, well-appointed, and comfortable. It is a wonderful place to retreat and relax, well worth making a destination in itself.

The Americus Garden Inn was such a beautiful, peaceful stay and just what we needed from our busy lives. Innkeepers Kim and Susan were like coming home to two old friends. Waking up to the smell of fresh baked bread and a gourmet breakfast was heaven! We'll definitely visit again soon! John & Stephanie Florida

We left her home early on a Friday morning for what should have been a 6 hour trip. After sitting in 3 hours of bumper to bumper traffic in Atlanta (ugh) and then driving through a torrential downpour, we finally made it, 9 hours later, to Americus Garden Inn B&B. We were so kindly greeted by Susan and Kim. Kim even carried our bags up to our room and we can't tell you how much these road-weary gals appreciated that. While Kim was lugging our bags, Susan gave us a tour of the B&B and then got us to our room so we could unwind. Our room was beautiful as is the rest of the old Victorian home. Susan's breakfasts are delicious and we felt right at home (and spoiled) with Kim's attentiveness and interesting conversation. Susan and Kim also are full of information as to where to dine and what to see while in the area and, wow, is there a lot to see and do. It was so good and comforting to get back to the B&B after our long day of sightseeing. I love that you can get yummy snacks, fruit and coffee/tea any time of the day or night. We had coffee with Bailey's (we brought our own Bailey's) each night before bedtime out on the back porch and it really hit the spot. The beds were so comfy. We also were delighted that there was a journal in our room that had many entries from other visiting guests and we had the best time reading the entries before we penned our own thoughts. This was my first experience at a B&B. I didn't think I would feel comfortable staying at a "stranger's" home, but Susan and Kim were able to change my way of thinking in short order. It was almost sad to leave them because you really feel like you're leaving family behind. From now on, it's B&B's for me and I can't wait to get back to Americus Garden Inn B&B for what will hopefully be a longer stay. There is so much too see in that area, we barely scraped the surface. And, besides, I like being spoiled for a few days :-) Thank you so much, Susan and Kim!

We have been staying in Inns and Bed and Breakfasts for 30 years, and the Americus Garden Inn ranks among the best. The sleeping accomodations were well appointed, clean and crisp; the bathroom was impeccably clean; the breakfast was sumptuous and our private evening was relaxing but enjoyable with the opportunity to have hot chocolate and homemade biscotti while playing Trivial Pursuit. Susan and Kim were wonderful hosts.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The room was perfect, the house was beautiful, there were plenty of games, movies, and other things to do while we were there. The breakfast was delicious! We hope to return soon, and we have already recommended Americus Garden Inn to others, and will continue to do so. This was our first experience at a B&B, and it was by far a more relaxing atmosphere than staying in a hotel. It exceeded all of our expectations. The innkeepers were knowledgeable about the area as well as the home. Two thumbs up!

My wife and I had a long weekend from work so we thought we'd do a "history" get away. We chose Americus because of the rich Southern history of the area, and Americus has quite a bit of history preserved right there. We had never stayed in a B&B so we thought we'd give it a try. I chose Americus Garden Inn after reviewing their website. After speaking to Susan on the phone I made reservations confident I chose the right place. Susan is a joy to talk to. What a great weekend it was. Susan and Kim were fantastic hosts, greeting as we pulling into the drive. Susan gave us a nice tour of the B&B meanwhile sharing the history of the Inn from the time it was built to now. We were shown were everything was in our room and instructed how to get in touch with them if we needed anything. They also went over several restaurants in the area as well as the area attractions which include Andersonville Civil War prison, the 1840's town of Westville, downtown Americus historic buildings as well as Jimmy Carter National park and homeplace amoung others. Susan is a fabulous cook, no I should say Chef, and spoiled us with a wonderful breakfast every morning, even accomodating me on my diet. Kim visited with us during breakfast helping us to plan our day by answering any questions and making our breakfast plates or coffee cups weren't empty until we had all we wanted to eat. It was nice for Kim to spend some time with us even though 2 weeks earlier they sustained substantial yard damage from the tornado and Kim had lots of work to do to get it all cleaned up. The breakfasts Susan prepared were top knock. Not only did we enjoy our stay in a beautiful house, in the historic district in a very comfortable room with snacks, videos, and books available for no extra charge, we made new friends with Susan and kim. Great hosts, but also just good folks. I can't wait until we can do it again.
