Americus Garden Inn

By far one of the best run B&B's we have been in. Susan and Kim are delightful hosts and really take pride in their home...and what a home! They have worked endlessly to make improvements (landscaping is amazing) and you feel welcomed the minute you step in the house which is historic. The breakfasts are amazing, homemade muffins, fruit, eggs, pancakes, etc. We had a room upstairs with a wonderful king size bed and an outdoor balcony. We enjoyed sitting out there reading and relaxing. Definetly worth a stop!

Even though we only stayed one night I feel like old friends. There was a very special feeling that we all felt when we entered the home. Kim and Susan are tremendous people and we felt right at home. The bed was comfortable, the pillow even better and the sheets were so nice that I asked where they were puchised. The breakfast was tremendous. No matter how good the muffins are don't eat 2 or you will never finish the meal. We now have another 1st place.

What a great place to stay in Americus, GA. We can't wait to go back!! Kristina and Layton

We went back for our second time to celebrate my Mom's 88th Birthday. We had been four years ago, also to celebrate her Birthday, but this time we were there on her Birthday. Kim and Susan made it even more special this time by hanging a "Happy Birthday" banner over Mom's bedroom door, and made her her own mini loaf Saturday morning for breakfast and put a candle in it. The food is always wonderful, and they have the largest selection of soda's and teas available for us 24/7 that I have ever seen!! I would not hesitate to go again!!

Three features propel this establishment into the top echelon of accommodation. The first is the beauty and historical attraction of the antebellum home. The second is gourmet breakfast, skilfully prepared and presented. The third is the friendly but nonintrusive hospitality offered by Kim and Susan. Altogether, an outstanding experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Americus Inn. We felt at home even as we arrived. After a tour of the house we received information about all the surrounding sites we were planning on visiting. The owners were very knowledgeable about the city and all the surrounding area. Breakfast was a real treat, I'm Celiac and so the gluten free breakfast was delightful. What muffins I couldn't finish at breakfast served as a life saver during the day while we were exploring the area. We would go out of our way to stay here again!

You can't go wrong staying at this B & B - Kim and Susan go out of their way to meet your needs. They kept coffee brewing all day for me and made exceptions for our likes/dislikes when it came to breakfast. The food was wonderful and I asked for recipes :) Cleanliness tops the charts for me, therefore, I never had to put my slippers on! and I think others will know what I'm talking about :) You will drive away with a smile on your face and wonderful memories made. Thanks to Kim and Susan for a wonderful visit!

Our stay was very comfortable. The room was cozy. The breakfast we enojyed each morning was creative and filling. The hosts were a wealth of information about the area.

My husband & I went to the Americus Garden Inn for a long awaited (& postponed) anniversary weekend. Traveling without our children, we were looking for a "grown-up" place to stay. While we love our children dearly, we don't wish to be around other people's children while on a romantic weekend get-away. Breakfasts that were absolutely delicious & snacks/drinks available 24/7 made for a relaxing, nourishing & delightful time away. Susan & Kim are very knowledgeable of the area & a great resource for information on the surrounding activities. A congratulations banner was hung outside our door & rose petals & chocolates were awaiting us on our pillows. We felt very looked after. Our room was beyond our expectations...with some B&Bs, you never really know what you are getting until you stay there. We have had less-than-desireable experiences elsewhere with the "romantic B&B" being nothing more than a couple of extra rooms in a musty old house. Not the premium guest experience we had here. :) We were able to tour the other rooms (except for one) as the inn was vacant when we checked out & we decided on our next room choice. We loved that Americus was less than a 2 hour drive from our house-which made the traveling part of getting away relatively short. Nothing dampens a long weekend of relaxation quicker than a long drive home. We highly recommend this B&B for a wonderful get-away weekend.

We would highly recommend the Americus Garden Inn and will plan to stay there again.

felt more like family than guest, very informative , caring,and concerns that we were comfortable in our stay, best homeade chocolate biscotti ever, 5 course breakfast, beautiful presented,very good

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed out stay. The hosts were excellent and gave us great information about the area. The place is beautiful and very comfortable. The breakfast was possibly the best I've ever had at a B&B. Loved it!

My wife and I wanted to explore some of the history of the Americus Region, mainly Andersonville Camp and the Jimmy Carter Boyhood home and school in Plains, so we selected the Garden Inn as our resting place. The Hosts were great about explaining not only the history of the places we were visiting, but also of the entire region. They certainly added a new prespective for us. The room was excellent, food was fantastic, and the hospitality was beyond our expectations! I would highly recommend this B&B if you are traveling in the Americus area. Thanks Kim and Susan for a wonderful night and some great memories!

After staying at this Bed & Breakfast Inn (our very first) I will find it rather difficult to ever stay in a motel again. From the time we were greeted at our car to help us with our luggage and the words, "Welcome To Our Home!" I mean.....even our own relatives don't do that! LOL My husband and I truly felt at home, Kim and his wife Susan give you a nice tour of the home, including its rich history, showed us where snacks & drinks were located for our convenience anytime day or night, gave us menus of surrounding restaurants including directions from the Inn. Susan is quite the gourmet cook at breakfast and her love and care is well displayed in the multi course breakfast, which she lovingly wrapped up our leftovers every morning to take with us during our visit (we never had to buy lunch, because of these wonderful leftovers).This trip was a surprise for my husband to his College Georgia Southwestern and to celebrate our 29th Wedding Anniversary. After talking with many friends experiences regarding bed & breakfasts The Americus Garden Inn will be the gauge that we will now measure other B&B, hotels or even relatives homes to.

We could not have enjoyed our visit to this wonderful Inn more. The care and service provided by Susan and Kim was truly outstanding. We will certainly try to come back again.

The Americus Garden Inn was the perfect getaway for our Babymoon! It was just a short drive from where we live in South GA. When you arrive, Susan and Kim are there to greet you and show you the ins and outs of the house, and the house is absolutely beautiful, as is the garden which we were fortunate to see still in bloom. We even got to enjoy the persimmons and figs from their garden in our breakfasts and took some persimmons home as well - yum! Being pregnant I loved that snacks (fruit, granola bars, crackers, cookies, etc) and soda/water were available 24/7, and it was great to enjoy the homemade muffins later that we could not finish at breakfast. Their breakfasts are as amazing as all the reviews have raved about from the muffins to the fruit to the pancakes/griddle cakes to the various egg dishes, and Susan and Kim will make sure to note any dietary restrictions, likes and dislikes you might have to make your experience even more enjoyable. My husband and I enjoyed the movie library available to guests, and the Jacuzzi Suite was amazing. We loved being able to soak in the two-person jetted tub and watch a movie from it and just relax. We slept like babies in our wonderful king-sized bed, with heated mattress pad, luxurious sheets and comfy pillows. We really enjoyed the Rylander Theater, and we highly recommend going if there is a show while you're there. Some of the restaurants we liked: Forsyth Bar & Grill (steak, BLT, soups, crepes); Little Brothers Bistro for paninis; Richelle's for ice cream, sorbet or baked goods; and The Station (tuna steak, stuffed shrimp, fried grits). Susan and Kim can point you in the right direction for whatever you want to do. There is lots of history to explore, beauty to see and relaxation to be had. Our time at The Americus Garden Inn was unforgettable and full of wonderful memories!

I have now stayed at the Americus Garden Inn 4 times over a span of 5 years. As far as I can estimate, my experiences began as surprisingly delightful and have only improved every time. Susan and Kim have turned this already-fascinating antebellum manse into a cozy and romantic haven that any world-weary person will relish. I now find that I crave the opportunity to return to the Inn through the months between visits. This is a rare glimpse of heaven here in this life.

What a wonderful experience! My wife and I just wanted to get away and came across the Americus Garden Inn. From the time we walked though the door, till the time we left, our hosts were great and made you feel welcome! The Inn is great, and the food as well!!! If your in the area and need a place to stay, please give them a chance, you will not be disappointed.

This is a great place to stay. Kim and Susan attend to every detail. The beds, pillows, and sheets were very comfortable. About the breakfasts: they were served in courses, they wrapped up extra muffins so we could snack on them later in the day, they made lovely entree presentations, they served great honey-glazed persimmons. Additionally when they learned we were coming to the area to visit Jimmy Carter sites, they told us of the opportunity to attend Jimmy's Sunday School class. It was a highlight of our trip! We would definitely recommend this inn to our friends and we would return.

What a beautiful spot in this quaint city. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Our stay here was our first B&B experience and it was wonderful. Kim and Susan are excellent hosts and we highly recommend Americus Garden Inn!

We had a wonderful stay at the Americus Garden Inn. Thank you so much for your hospitality and if we're ever there again we'll be sure to stay with you.

We loved every minute of our stay at the Americus Garden Inn. Kim & Susan go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We enjoyed the clean rooms, comfortable beds, and excellent breakfast! There was also a variety of teas, coffee, soft drinks and healthy snacks available 24 hours a day. Be sure to tour the beautifully landscaped gardens. This was a perfect get-away, and we can't wait to visit again. Thanks so much, Egelseers, for being wonderful hosts!

We stayed here because it was virtually the same price as the chain hotel where the rest of the group stayed and we figured it would be a more pleasant experience. We were correct. The room was spacious and comfortable. Lots of snacks and drinks are available for guests at no extra charge during your stay. Susan is an excellent chef and breakfast was really good.

On day 9 of a 10-day motorcycle trip, my wonderful husband surprised me with a night at the Americus Garden Inn. What a treat! We began our stay by winding down in the gazebo swing in their lovely garden. So peaceful after days on the road. Susan showed us to our room with a birds eye view of the garden. The Inn was beautifully restored and decorated--full of history, southern charm and hospitality. Susan and Kim were gratious and knowledgeable about the area and its history. They made us feel welcome and totally at home. The room was comfortable and nicely furnished. The food was beautifully presented and delicious! Snacks and beverages were always available. The coffee, Susan's own blend, was so good that we purchased a bag to take home.Although we had only planned to stay one night, it was raining the next morning plus my husband wasn't feeling well and really needed a day of rest. Susan was truly concerned and convinced him to stay an extra day for some R&R. We spent a totally pleasant day just sitting in the house reading, relaxing and chatting with Kim and Susan. We like B&Bs and try to stay in them when we travel. This has been my favorite one--we'll definitely return!

We had a wonderful time. Great food, Hostesses and room. Hope to come back soon. Thanks Kim and Susan for an excellent B&B experience.

Very nice stay; comfortable and a great room. Wish we had more time there. Very attentive hosts. Breakfast was terrific.

A thoroughly enjoyabe experience. Susan & Kim bring Ritz-Carlton type service to Americus, GA. Lovely accommodations & terrific food at a reasonable price. We're looking forward to a return visit

What a wonderful experience. My family of 6 stayed here and were extemely pleased. The owners, Kim and Susan were so accommodating. The breakfast was gourmet and beverages and snacks were available 24/7. The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Each has its own bath and TV. You will not find another B & B that compares to this one, and I have been to many.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the beautiful historic district of Americus. The Americus Garden Inn was top notch!

Kim and Susan are the most gracious of hosts. They provided so many touches to make our stay exceed our expectations such as help with our luggage, Dove chocolates on our bed, snacks and drinks available at all times, the best sheets ever, a gourmet breakfast that tasted as good as it looked, and best of all, a genuine interest in making their guests....FRIENDS! We plan to come again!

It was a wonderful experience in the lovely and elegant home of Susan and Kim Egelseer. Breakfast was delicious and imaginative. I appreciate the time she took in the kitchen to make a tastly yet healthy meal. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we'll be back! Bill and Clare Evon

My sister and I loved our stay at the Americus Garden Inn. It was my third stay and each time the warmth of our hosts, the charm of the home and grounds, and the personal touches just get better. Hope to be back soon!

Best b & b ever. Beautiful rooms, gourmet breakfast, and snacks all day. Our hosts Kim & Sue took care of our every need. They were well versed in the history of the area and were quick to provide directions, suggestions for restaurants and area attractions. We really felt at home and can't wait to return.

We stayed at Americus Garden for one night in the Balcony Suite. The place is amazingly beautiful and the hosts went to great lengths to make our stay perfect -- including preparing a delicious vegan and gluten free breakfast to accommodate our dietary restrictions. Highly recommended!

We had a great time. The food was super yummy! But the best part was Susan and Kim. They were very interesting and always there to help us out.

As return guests we were delighted to find that the courtesy and service provided by Susan and Kim was every bit as wonderful as our first visit one year ago. Consistency is key and we found it at the Inn. We will be sure to find our way to Americus on our trips from Florida north as it is well worth the effort. We were amazed to learn that Susan had kept a record of the breakfasts she had prepared for us the previous visit to avoid repeating any dishes. Happy to report that this year's breakfasts were aslo photo worthy and delicious. See you next year!!!

Our stay with The Egelseers was a true delight and one of comfort. It was exceptionally HOT in south GA and it was so nice to know we would go 'home' to a clean, cool, and comfortable room and bed each night. Thank you! Ron and Sheryl

Our experience at the Americus Garden Inn Bed & Breakfast far exceeded our expectations. The Inn is absolutely beautiful and is located in the lovely residential historical area of Americus. Kim and Susan were dedicated to making our stay at their home a warm and pleasantly memorable experience. Our room was spacious, very clean, and beautiful. Susan is a great cook and the breakfasts she serves are delicious, nutritious, and beautifully presented. The grounds are just as lovely as the house. Kim and Susan are a great source of information about things to do and see in the area. When we left it felt like we were leaving family. We will not hesitate to return for another visit.

Lovely historic house and beautiful gardens, friendly and knowledgeable innkeepers, scrumptious breakfast, and delightful room....the Americus Garden Inn has it all including its own blend of coffee from Cafe Campesino (brought some home to enjoy). One night's stay is just not long enough so we'll be going back for weekends. Kim and Susan just couldn't be nicer and truly want their guests to have a great time. Americus is an interesting town, and the Garden Inn is the place to stay while there.

I recently spent a weekend here at AGI and it was the best B & B experience that I have had. Susan and Kim are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts were outstanding. I give it exceptionally high marks!

This was our first 'Bed&Breakfast experience,' and we totally enjoyed the "Americus Garden Inn." Kim and Susay were so kind and the room was fabulous. We thank our friends who introduced us this place and we also want to recommend it to everybody.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn! Kim and Susan were great hosts - they made us feel right at home, without being obtrusive. They both have the gift of hospitality, going the extra mile to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The Scarlett room was spacious, and Susan's breakfasts were simply out of this world! We have never had better breakfast food than we had there - Susan has perfected the meal to an art form. The house and garden were lovely. We can't say enough nice things about the Inn and would recommend it without reservation!.

This was my first experience with a B & B and it couldn't have been better. We traveled to the area to attend Former President Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class. Garden Inn owners Susan and Kim were so gracious and knowledgeable about the area, they enhanced our visit immensely. Susan is the Martha Stewart of three-course breakfasts. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. My daughter and I sipped Susan's hand-mixed coffee each morning in the garden's gazebo. An enchanting home with superb hosts.

The owners / innkeepers are great! Everything is immaculate and nicely maintained. Location is close to everything in town yet quiet. Beautiful, serene surroundings.

I found this wonderfuly B&B on the internet for a one night stay on our way home from Florida. I'm so glad I found it!! The owners were so nice. The place is immaculate and so comfortable. Being a first timer to a B&B we didn't really know what to expect but this experience was great. I wish we could have stayed longer. The food is excellent....everything is homemade and fabulous. The gardens are beautiful. Can't wait to return!

We have been staying at the Amercus Garden Inn for several years and always enjoy ourselves. The owners go out of their way to make every visit enjoyable from the beautiful rooms and gardens to the snacks, beverages and wonderful 3 course breakfast. Best of all, Kim and Susan seem to really enjoy meeting and getting to know their guests. When you leave, you’ll feel like you are part of the family. If you like B & B’s, you will love this place. It is a true gem.

The beautiful historic home and gardens and the southern hospitality of Susan and Kim made our stay with them so special. Leon and Loraine Hirschfeld

This was our first experience at a Bed and Breakfast! It was an extremely pleasant suprise! Our gracious hosts were totally responsible for that! Thier attention to detail and anticipating our every want and need is a travelers dream! This historic house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The breakfast absolutly delicious. I only wish we could have stayed longer. If we come this way again we will! It is worth going out of your way to stay here. We are spoiled and will find it hard to stay at a hotel again! The only negative is that the Guitar could use a new set of strings. Maybe I'll bring a set with me next time! Until then..............

We have stayed in outstanding B & Bs around the world. Nowhere have we encountered better ambiance, service, coupled with a gourmet breakfast. Kim & Susan have anticipated every possible need that their guests might require, or desire. Every detail was covered. . .with perfection. We hope to return here soon, even if it means flying to Atlanta and renting a car, just to experience the Americus Garden Inn again.

This was a great weekend retreat. We normally stay at B&B's only one night, but decided to do two this time and I'm so glad we did. Every detail was taken care of and Susan and Kim cater to you like you are the only ones there! Outstanding!

The Americus Garden Inn is truly a wonderful place to visit. Kim and Susan Egelseer are lovely hosts and have created a beautiful and peaceful oasis. I have stayed with them three times and look forward to my next visit.

This was the first bed-and-breakfast we stayed at, and it was on the first day of our honeymoon. It was wonderful. Very nice place, the owners were very gracious and nice, and it was a memorable experience. We might even go back someday!

The stay in this Inn was a great value - same as I spent at chain hotels along my journey. What a great pleasure to be able to stay in such a beautiful room with great service and all the amenities of the chain hotels, but with the personal touch of a wonderful and friendly couple. The breakfast was delicious too!

On our recent visit to Andersonville Ga., The Americus Garden Inn was the place I chose to stay and I could not have been HAPPIER about it! From the time we arrived until we waved goodbye to our new friends....It could not have been ANY BETTER.

Our experience at Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast was outstanding! Facilities are modern with a touch of antique decor. Service was attentive and complete with quick responces to personal requests. Cleanliness is obvious. But the best experience at this very comfortable B & B is the gourmet breakfast. Unique preparation and presentation make the breakfast meals memorable for us world travelers. Kim and Susan, our hosts, made our stay very comfortable, but were not intrusive. Succinctly put, this B & B is highly recommended. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay while visiting family in Americus. John and Virginia Bell, Las Cruces, New Mexico

Kim and Susan made us very welcome the instant we arrived. The Inn is very beautiful as is the garden and its setting in Americus is excellent. Breakfast was wonderful with Susan providing a bag of fresh made muffins to take with us the next morning. We will certaiinly be back to stay on our next trip from Florida

Beautiful room,wonderful hosts.Delicious food.Planning a return trip.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The Inn was so beautiful. The room was lavishly appointed, and the grounds beautifully restored, even after tornado damage! The breakfast was unique and delicious. Susan and Kim were so friendly and informative. The whole experience was so warm and friendly delightful.

I could only stay 2 nights but they were so wonderful. I wanted to get away for some stress relief and it sure took my mind to a calm and peaceful place. The owners were very attentive but not obtrusive. I felt very secure with the way they have things set up. The gardens on their property were nice to wander around, check out all the different flowers and plants, the koi pond with fountain and then to sit and swing in the gazebo. Just thinking about it takes me back. Last but not least was the fabulous breakfast. It was to die for. I would highly recommend this to anyone. If you are a history buff there is a lot more wonderful old homes in the town of Americus and a variety of other types in the surrounding area like Andersonville National Historic Park which is only one of many either in Americus or close by. I loved the old home and the way they have worked to preserve it. Can you tell I had a good time!!

Kim and Susan were wonderfull and very accomodating. The house is spectacular, and the breakfast was delicious.

Yes--our recent stay was so restful and wonderful, and the breakfast was so special. Thank you, Susan, for taking time to chat and share. You are a great innkeeper and take care of so many details. The historical events in your area were such a surprise to us both. ER

We came over from England to stay at this B&B for a week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Susan and Kim are so welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them, they even lent us some chairs to take to an event! The inn itself is truly beautiful, as is the garden. It must take a lot of work to keep it in good order but it is well worth it!

We took a 3 week road trip and tried using B&B's instead of hotels for most of our stay. This was by far the nicest house and best hosts we had the entire time. Gardens are lovely and the breakfast is delicious! Susan and Kim have thought of everything a guest could possible want or need. We brought back dinner from town to eat on the back porch and enjoyed coffee in the gazebo. Thanks so much for everything - wish we had stayed longer. Also thanks for the pictures you took of us at the end of the stay.

MY wife and I went to Americus for a R/C air show and had never been in the area before, so we checked the rooms available and found this bed and breakfast. The rates were good so we gave it a try. We were very happy we did. The room was great the hosts could not do enough for us and the breakfast was great. We also enjoyed meeting new people at breakfast. We will defintly come back to The Americus Garden Inn.

Susan met us before we were out of the car and escorted around the grounds and explained everything in detail. The room was large and generously appointed. The amenities were very adequate and the location was in a quiet area along with other historic homes. We were served a very tasty and complete breakfast on our schedule. It was a very pleasant experience and we would highly recommend it.

We stayed on Saturday night prior to going to Andersonville. This was a wonderful location and a great Bed & Breakfast. Very nice and well kept. The innkeepers, Kim & Susan, provided that wonderful southern hospitality. Susan welcomed us at our car and helped us get our bags in, which was nice since it was starting to rain. And Susan did a wonderful job cooking breakfast the next morning. The only regret that we had was that I did not plan to stay longer with them. If my travels take me back to this area, I will definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast was only for one night and we left wishing for more. We expect to return to the beauty of this setting and the welcoming atmosphere. The rooms and garden are lovely and the breakfast quite special. We received some very helpful advice from Kim and Susan on sites to visit and we appreciated the attention to making not only our visit a comfortable one but our sight-seeing better than it would have been on our own. We highly recommend this as a destination.

Kim & Susan at Americus Garden Inn were awesome. Susan gave us a warm greeting, and showed us to our room. She gave us a run down of the town, and the local restaurants. Kim gave us the lowdown on local attractions, like Andersonville & Plains, and suggestions of what order to see things to make their stories come together. The food was good, and healthy. Snacks & fruits, as well as a compliment of beverages were available around the clock. We felt as if we had not rented a room, but a home. We would recommend AGI to our friends & family. Daryl Ray

I had a great stay at the inn. It was beautiful inside and out. Susan was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was yummy and those chocolate chip scones really hit the spot! Wish I could have stayed longer but hopefully I'll be back that way in the future. Thanks again for your hospitality.

We had an absolutely lovely time at this B&B! Our hosts were informative and made us feel welcome - like we were old friends come to visit! The food was delightful and beautifully presented. The grounds were also beautiful and it was very nice to be able to sit outside and simply soak in the gardens and the evening.

Our visit to nearby Plains, GA in early April was made complete by our stay at the Americus Garden Inn B&B. Our hosts were so very gracious and hospitable; our accommodations were comfortable and inviting; and the food was a pleasure to behold and to eat! We would highly recommend this B&B!

Our stay at Kim & Susan's B&B was the highlight of our 10 days away. Wish we could have stayed for more than one night! The rooms were spacious and spotless and the food was amazing, beautifully presented and very tasty. Great place to stay!

Kim and Susan were great hosts! Gave us a historical tour of their beautiful "home", informed us of restaurants in the surrounding area, and fixed an awesome healthy breakfast (pumpkin muffins, fruit, whole grain pancakes with REAL maple syrup). We stayed in the Library Suite...the only guest room on the 1st floor. We loved it! It was a huge room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Wished we had more time to just sit in their beautiful gardens behind the house. Would definitely recommend! We plan on going back and staying with them again.

This is the ONLY place we stay at when visiting Americus! Kim and Sue are such friendly folks and they can prepare a 3 course breakfast like no other! The best pancakes in the world!! Oh, and the scones?!! YUMMY!! Goodness, no matter what they serve for breakfast, you can bet it's going to taste delicious. Always a peaceful place to stay and relax, whether in your room, dining area, music room or garden :-) CLEAN, Quiet, and just a delightful atmosphere~

Our friendly hosts were always available for chatting and sharing local facts. Should we ever be near Americus again we will make it a point to revisit this B&B.

First experience in a bed and breakfast and it was like heaven on earth! We would HIGHLY recommend the Americus Garden Inn.

Having never been to a B&B, I wasn't sure what I was in for, but it turns out it was one of the best experiences ever. Susan met us in the driveway and carried my bag in the house for me. She gave us a tour of the inside and outside of the house, showed us where all the snacks and drinks were and told us to help ourselves. She has a very good library of movies to choose from and each room has a nice tv. The room we had, the Magnolia Room is very large and enchanting. The floor to ceiling windows stream in lots of sunshine and you can hear the water in the koi pond beneath the window. The bathroom is huge and equipped as well as any upscale hotel, including the plushest towels and robes you could want. The gardens are landscaped and beautifully laid-out for wandering and marveling at all the beautiful flowers and shrubs. The gazebo and enormous enclosed back porch are perfect spots to sit and enjoy the scenery and the weather. The gourmet breakfast was cooked by Susan and served by Kim. It was an outstanding meal starting with chocolate chip scones, followed with a fresh strawberry and orange compote, the main course of individual turkey/cheese quiche with "feather" pancakes, so named because they are light as a feather. There were two other female guests at breakfast and Kim and Susan joined us for great conversation and tales of the house and surrounding areas. We had such a good time, we were reluctant to leave, but have vowed to go back again and take all our friends and family with us. I know now why Americus Garden Inn earned the rating of being in the TOP 10 B&B in the U.S. for four years and last year being rated in the TOP 10 B&B in the world. Thank you Kim and Susan for a great time, your hospitality was marvelous!

This B&B was a new adventure to my wife and I, and after this first time, she has decided that it will be our new tradition. Kim and Susan are more like friends than innkeepers, and the House is beautiful. The Breakfast was excellent, and We could not have been more pleased with our room. If you are looking for a weekend getaway this is a great idea, and I highly recommend Americus Garden.

Such a wonderful, warm and nuturing stay! The Inn is our first choice for all our visits in South Georgia -- and we do have many other choices! This is our third stay, and we're always disappointed that we can't stay longer. Susan and Kim set a standard that other B&B's will have difficulty matching.

This B&B is a lovingly restored and maintained 1849 home in the historic downtown area of Americus GA. The innkeepers, Kim and Susan, are perfect for the job – attentive and accommodating. The Inn invites you to lounge in the common areas exploring the many interesting books and magazines, or socialize with other guests while enjoying snacks from the dining room, or simply relax and get a good night’s sleep before heading out for day time adventure. Susan and Kim are coffee connoisseurs and have developed their own signature blend Americus Garden Inn coffee. It is superb! Coupled with the gourmet breakfast Susan prepares, you have a great start to your day. The bed was one of the best we have slept on away from home and the bed linen was what you always hope for – tight, taught, crisp sheets! We highly recommend the Americus Garden Inn – and the delights of exploring small towns in America from the comfort of a B&B.

I suprised my husband for his 40th b-day by taking him away for the w/e to Americus Garden Inn. The moment I first received the e-mail response from Susan, I knew I picked the right place to go. When I spoke to Susan on the phone she was so friendly and courteous. She asked what type of food I liked. If I had any dietary restrictions. I have never encountered that before. She was waiting for our arrival and arrived at the car to wish my husband Happy Birthday and to help us carry our bags in. Her breakfasts are outstanding! Kim was so attentive to our needs. He was always smiling and friendly. Susan and Kim made us feel at home. We never felt rushed at breakfast. Susan even noticed the day before at breakfast that I didn't like the peel on my pear at breakfast - the next morning she peeled the pear before serving. We have stayed at many B&B's and have never encountered such care and attention to us. If you are looking for a getaway or just traveling near Americus - you must stop in at Americus Garden Inn. The rooms were clean and inviting. The history was fascinating to hear. We made new friends with fellow guest at breakfast. Kim and Susan are outstanding as Innkeepers. Both my husband and I felt like family when we left. We can't say enough good things about either of them and their lovely Inn. We will be going back!

My husband and I spent 2 wonderful nights at the Americus Garden Inn. Susan met us at the door with fresh baked brownies. From the moment we walked in the door we could feel the love and the warmth of the "home". Susan gave us an excellent detailed history of the Inn as she took us on a tour. When we reached our room we had a banner over our door for our anniversary as well as rose petals and chocolates on the bed. It had been cold and rainy and the heated mattress pads were heaven sent. The next morning we woke up to Susan and Kim preparing us a delicious 3 course breakfast. They even sent us muffins to go for the day and went over the best ways to visit the area. There is so much more I could talk about Susan and Kim but I just can't find the words to express the delightfulness they bestowed upon us. They treated us like family. I definately would reccomend this Inn to anyone. Thank you Susan and Kim.

We had stayed with Susan and Kim before and were confident recommending the Garden Inn to our friends riding with us to Americus and Plains. Though the weather was chilly, the reception at the Inn was, as we knew it would be, exceptionally warm. We once again experienced the wonderful hospitality we first found two years ago. It was satisfying to see that our friends (from North Carolina) also found the experience to be first rate. The accommodations were excellent, and the breakfast outstanding. All four of us agreed, we would return again in a heartbeat. The next day (Sunday) I met a stranger who had stayed the night in another establishment in Americus who asked about the Garden Inn. Without thinking, I told him that if he chose to stay with Susan and Kim, he would feel like he was staying with family. (Note to anyone considering the Garden Inn for the first time -- although, at this time, renovations were taking place, they had absolutely no impact on the accommodations or quality of service.)

Friendly owners with attention to every detail helped me unwind after a hectic business meeting in Atlanta. A beautiful small town setting, bedtime snacks, a hearty breakfast and a heated mattress pad made this inn really stand out.

We had been talking about staying at Americus Garden Inn for over a year, but it took a record snow storm to get us here. Unable to get through Atlanta on our way back from Florida, we decided to stop in Americus for the night. We were grateful that the inn had a room available and the inn keepers were willing to take us on such short notice. After an afternoon of touring Plains, we were welcomed warmly by Kim and Susan, given a tour of the first floor of the inn along with its history, and offered delicious cookies and refreshments. Once we settled into our spacious room, we went out to eat then came back to watch a video about local history in the privacy of our room. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. Wish we could have stayed for another. There is so much to see and do in the area, we hope to actually plan a trip back to Americus and Plains and Americus Garden Inn.

The Americus Garden Inn is a beautiful tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We took a step back in time as we climbed the lovely "Tara" like staircase. Lofty bed, incrediable ediables served up by such a warm and gracious host and hostess--what more could anyone want?? We are very seasoned travellers and found this B & B to be rated "B B & B"--BEST BED AND BREAKFAST!!

Kim and Susan made our stay so enjoyable! We received a personal welcome and tour of the Inn, which is absolutely charming! Our room was huge and comfortable with an enormous bathroom. Susan's homemade breakfast was delicious! Kim's suggestions as to the best way to see the Andersonville Prison and POW Museum were invaluable. Next time we are in the area we will be sure to stay longer at this beautiful B&B.

I live in Atlanta, but I had to come to Americus, GA on business and will be back and forth for 2 months. Susan and her husband Kim are absolutely the most genuine, welcoming and personable people I've met in a lodging/hospitality setting in a long time. My friends often say that I'm very "particular" about my comfort which is just a nice way of saying that I'm snobby when it comes to my accommodations and they're absolutely right. I don't like to stay in any place that isn't as comfortable, convenient, clean, and safe with lots of character - just like my own home. Well this B&B has all of that with a bonus - 2 wonderful owners who are an absolute pleasure to know. First, the home is in the historic district so driving through the area is beautiful and when you reach the B&B the outside of the home is just gorgeous (huge and nicely lit). Drive around back and Susan greets you before you can park the car and actually asks to help you carry your things! The inside of the house is very immaculate, clean and well pulled together without being overly feminine or pretentious. The King size bed and comfy mattress were perfect for me (firm but a tad soft), sheets were soft and an electric blanket under the sheets to keep it nice and cozy unlike the cold temp outside. The bathroom had spa quality mini bath, soap, shampoo and shower gels if you needed and the shower head was upgraded to project a steady and full flow of hot water. Each room has a VCR and they have a huge variety of movies you can watch, not to mention FREE WI-FI. OMG The breakfast was so absolutely delicious. You just can't go wrong with this place, especially considering the other options in the Americus area. Staying here compared to the hotels chains is a tremendous value and such a no-brainer. I'm looking forward to going back.

Kim and Susan's B & B in Americus, GA is outstanding in every way and if any B & B in the USA warrants a star above our typical 5-Star rating system, then this is it. They have thought of everything. There is nothing more you will need during your trip in Americus that they have not already provided. They are the most wonderful hosts, a perfect example of southern hospitality. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast rivals any 5-Star restaurant you will find. You will not be disappointed in this B &B.

So thankful to find real warmth and genuine concern while traveling on business.

We were traveling through Americus and stayed here for one night. Lovely room and accommodations. Every detail was considered to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was four star and the service was excellent. Our hosts were knowledgeable about the historic features of the area as well as being friendly. I would recommend to all.

I am a business traveler who has traveled from Coast to Coast and this by far has been my best stay at any property (both B&B and high end hotels). The property is beautiful and charming and its only matched by the attention and warmth shown by the Inn keepers, Kim and Susan. I cannot wait to go back.

We can't wait to go back! The warm and friendly innkeepers, Kim and Susan, made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The entire house was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed, yet seemed to say, "relax and make yourself at home". Movies, board games, reading materials, and 24/7 snacks and beverages did abound! The bed was possibly the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The grounds and gardens make you long to linger there for hours. While Susan prepared and served us a meal that was absolutely a delight for the taste buds and the eyes, Kim faithfully stood vigil and kept our coffee freshly refilled. This B&B exceeded our wildest expectations!!!!!

My wife and I stayed at the Americus Garden Inn B&B for 3 nights in October. The B&B is located in the beautiful historic district of Americus and only a 10 minute walk (we are from Europe) from downtown Americus through the historical district. Upon arrival we were greeted by Susan who provided us with detailed information on the area sites, where to dine, etc. The inn itself, the garden and our room were very well maintained and extremely clean. The breakfast was prepared and presented in a fabulous way; a pleasure for the eye too. Susan and Kim were terrific hosts during our stay. If you are planning a trip to Americus or the area, you should include a stay at the Americus Garden Inn B&B. The B&B does not come recommended. It comes highly recommended.

I was in town for a work function and wanted a place to stay where I could unwind and get a good night's sleep (I don't usually sleep well when I travel). I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I stayed in the whirlpool suite and it was very heavenly! The tub was relaxing and placed where I could look around the room (I loved relaxing to the views of the peacock art on the wall), and the bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in! And the food...well, that was absolutely amazing too. Clearly, this B & B deserves a few night's stay (or more) when you are in Americus. I loved it and am sure you will love it too!

Susan and Kim are the best hosts we've ever had at a B&B. We've never felt more welcome or taken care of. They hung a congratulations banner over our door because we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. The room was very comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The house is beautiful. The breakfast was amazing! The best part of our stay was getting to visit with Susan for a while after breakfast, learning how her and Kim found their way to Americus, GA. It's obvious they love what they do and it shows. We've stayed at B&B's across the country and this is the best one by far! You won't be disappointed. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Americus.

This is a lovely home, the rooms are spacious and well appointed but what really makes this Inn special is Susan and Kim. Very thoughtful and skilled at making total strangers feel welcome PLUS Susan is a fabulous cook!!! There is lots to see within walking distance in this relaxed neighborhood. A definte return is warranted.

We visited Americus with several other friends and occupied 6 suites at the Americus Garden Inn B&B for 2 nights. We could not have been more pleased with the experience. Kim and Susan were perfect hosts; providing us with perfect accommodations, detailed information about area sites and restaurants, and delicious breakfasts. If you are traveling anywhere near Americus, do not pass up the opportunity to stay at the Americus Garden Inn; you will be glad you did!

My sister and I went on a 12 day trip from Alaska to see a part of the country we had never been to. We had a wonderful time away from our usual routines, and the Americus Garden Inn was a highlight. We had scheduled a one-night stay and were pleased when we were able to extend our stay another night. Susan and Kim were delightful - very hospitable and ready to help with any need. Breakfast was outstanding. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I had a delightful time at the Americus Garden Inn. Located about 45 miles off the interstate and tucked away in a lovely section of town, the owners made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious and the hospitality outstanding. Highly recommend for city folks looking for an escape in the country!!

We have stayed at Americus many times and each visit just gets better. Susan and Kim are wonderful hosts...warm and gracious. Breakfast is always a delight, in presentation as well as taste. If anyone is looking for a B & B in Georgia, this is a MUST stop.

My dad, my friend and I stayed at Americus Garden Inn after visiting the Fair and cemetary/prison in Andersonville, GA. The fair was great but unexpectedly the Bed and Breakfast Stay was the HIGHLIGHT of our weekend trip! We all left feeling very nurtured, rested and delighted with the whole experience! Can't wait to go back!!!!! :)

Americus Garden Inn is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. The room are clean, beds are comfortable and breakfast is the best. Susan and Kim do a wonderful job to make sure your stay is very enjoyable. We took our 13 year old grandaugther with us on this trip. Susan and Kim took such good care of her that she didn't want to go home. It is a great experience to stay in this stately home with all of its history. They have a beautiful garden that is relaxing to walk through and enjoy. We stay at Americus Garden Inn every chance we get. We always look forward to our stay there and have never been disapointed.

My husband and I traveled to Americus for the Peanut Festival in Plains. Had a lovely 2-night stay at Americus Garden Inn. Kim and Susan were wonderful hosts. Our room, the balcony room, was extremely clean and spacious. Food was fabulous - Susan's brownies are the best I've ever had! Enjoyed chatting with Kim, Susan and the other guests during breakfast, but also had ample privacy. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Americus Garden Inn. The food was fantastic and our room was beautiful and very comfortable. All of our needs were taken care of and we felt like we were long-time friends of the owners. I would recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone looking for a memorable place to stay.

A lovely inn tucked away in a lovely town. Susan is an excellent hostess and couldn't have been more gracious and accomodating. Lovely gardens to stroll or enjoy a glass a wine. Big spacious porch and a porch all our own. A lovely night's stay.

Our stay was wonderful in every way! From the first moment there until the last, it could not have been better. We were made to feel very welcome at all times. These owners seem to enjoy what they do and it shows in the details. Our ten year old daughter was not ready to leave- she loved every minute. The breakfast was fabulous. Susan posts the menu the evening before and you have all night to look forward to the feast. What a way to start the day!!!

Our first B&B and wow.....what an expierence. The friendliness, welcoming attitudes of Kim and Susan, and wonderful breakfast are all unmatched! What a wonderful time we had. We stayed in the Scarlett room and it was lovely. We were very impressed with the entire B&B experince. If ever near Americus, definitely stay for a night!

By chance I stayed with Susan & Kim about a year ago and thanks to Susan I am living a healthier life. After discussing with her some of my health problems she suggested some helpful reading that lead to my discovery of the cause of my health problems. And that was in addition to staying in the most comfortable room, with the most caring hosts. This year after a trip up to the Blueridge Mountains we went out of our way to spend another night at this wonderful and accomodating Bed & Breakfast Inn. It doesn't get any better! Patricia

As we pulled in front of the house we could imagine a grand party in the courtyard a hundred years ago with the ladies in their finest dress and the men smoking their pipes and talking business while admiring the ladies. As we pulled in the driveway and along side the house we had our first glimpse of the beautiful grounds, a luscious garden that beckoned us to come and sit awhile and just enjoy all that it had to offer. We were given a big smile and an enthusiast wave by a gentleman who seemed genuinely happy to see us, this turned out to be Kim, and he really was genuinely happy to see us! We were met at the door by Susan who turned out to be an amazing person. She truly is the definition of HOSPITALITY; first we were given a tour of the common areas of the house, while also learning some history of the home and the area. We were then shown to our rooms where she explained the little things like how to access the veranda if we wanted to enjoy the porch, and how she had closed one set of curtains but left another open based on the sun rising in the morning. We awoke in the morning to the smell of rich delicious gourmet coffee and the scent of a delicious breakfast being prepared for us…..I could go on and on about how wonderful my visit to Americus Garden Inn was, from the history, the delicious gourmet breakfast, the tranquility of the garden, the view from the veranda, the richness of the sheets, the comfort of the mattress, the wonderful reading materials and the many other special treats that Kim and Susan had arranged for us, but first and foremost in my mind is the level of customer service, attention to detail and sincere kindness exhibited by both Kim and Susan. This was my first visit to Americus and my first visit to a B&B, I will return many times in the future, simply for the pleasure of staying at Americus Garden Inn.

Wonderful 2 night stay while traveling with our 11 year old grandson and visiting Andersonville. Susan and Kim take great pride in their home and in making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Their home is in excellent condition, extremely clean and comfortable with a touch of Southern Charm & Antebellum elegance. Breakfasts are exquisite and presented with style and could easily be on the cover of Gourmet Magazine. As hosts they go out of their way to make your stay hassle free. We will definitely tell our friends about our experience and plan a return visit.

We simply went out of our way on our trip in order to experience for our 4th time the marvelous inn and its gracious hosts. Lovely, clean, lots of books about the history of the area, and delicious and widely varied breakfasts, and friendly, caring hosts.

We had a great stay at the Americus Garden Inn. Kim and Susan are great hosts who put their all into making certain that the guests have the best experience possible. Restaurant and stght seeing options were great and the breakfasts were a true highlight of our Georgia visit. Susan is great chef, Kim is a great host, and they are a great team of innkeepers. You cannot miss with a stop at the Americus Garden Inn!

When we drove in, we were welcomed by Susan and began to feel the warmth she and the house had to offer. I loved the room we chose, especially the fitted sheets and the special amenities as the drapes being closed while we were at dinner as well as the huge ceiling fans. Susan suggested a movie for us to watch before we went to Andersonville. What a wonderful suggestion!!!! I understood so much more because of that. Susan explained so much history about the house and the upcoming visit to Andersonville. The breakfast requires a whole new paragraph. Double chocolate scones were awesome on the morning we were there as well as the morning after. You see, she wrapped them up for us. The shirred eggs, the oatmeal pancakes, the red white and blue fruit compote were great as well as the coffee. Needless to say, we would love to go back to have the wonderful experience again. A+ for the whole time we were there sandra windsor

We chose the Americus Garden Inn as an ideal location to take us away from the stresses of moving cross country from Virginia to New Mexico. We could not have selected a more perfect place to stay! Susan and Kim are wonderful hosts with big hearts. While making our reservation, Susan asked for our input on breakfast ingredients - something we have not experienced before - and we knew this would be a memorable experience. The spacious balcony room met our every need and the breakfasts were awesome. We enjoyed the conversations and the personal tour through their gardens. If we are blessed to have the Air Force move us back to the East Coast, we will be sure to visit the Americus Garden Inn again.

We loved the area, the home is exceptional. The room was fantastic, beyond comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful. It is hospitality plus, our hosts are extraordinary. When we return to the area, we will stay again.

Best B&B experience ever, all due to really caring and solicitous owners, Susan & husband, Kim! I was immediately pleased when calling to make our reservation, and mentioning to Susan that first we were going to the historic Andersonville site, she then suggested the best way to get the most out of the trip. Then upon our arrival, we received a fascinating tour of the beautiful 1847 home. Our room was spacious, as was the bathroom area, and even had robes provided. Even more importantly, the bed was very comfortable. A generously supplied refreshment area is also provided for you, 24/7, should you require it. A gourmet breakfast was served to us, in courses of fresh fruits, a delightfully presented ribbons of omelets, with scrumptious pancakes...Susan has a degree in this & it shows...and on our morning, great chocolate chip cappuccino muffins, which she insisted we take with us as we left. Kim does not let your coffee cup go empty! They were lot of fun to chat with, too. They provided us with maps and directions for finding a dinner spot, as well as the best way back to the highway, for our next destination. They're a caring couple who want you to have the best experience possible at their inn, and we did!

We had never been to a B&B before, but our expectations were exceeded by far. The room was great, the food was amazing, and the house was so cozy. We could not have asked for a better little getaway. There were many activities we could have never done unless we came to Americus, for example seeing the house Jimmy Carter grew up in or visiting the Habitat for Humanity International Site. We will definately be back and would reccomend this B&B to anyone!

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The room was beautiful and the innkeepers wonderfully friendly. They are restoring the house and grounds after a tornado two years and everything is looking great - especially the gardens in the back.

you really need to visit Americus Garden Inn. The owners couldn't have been nicer. I really felt that I had known Susan and Kim for years and they were just sharring their home, describing their community (where to go, what to see, where to eat) with old friends. Susan is a wonderful cook --- best breakfast I have had in a long time.

My uncle and I just loved the Americus Garden Inn, and especially it's owner's Susan and her husband Kim. What a wonderful experience in an 1847 mansion. I never dreamed it would be so lovely. I wish we would have been able to stay longer. The garden is breathtaking, the breakfast was out of this world, especially the double choclate scones with almonds. The rooms are gorgeous and very comfortable. A true delight in Americus, Georgia. Bobbie Horton St. Petersburg, Florida

This get-away was for our second "Babymoon" and we wanted to stay somewhere different, so we chose a B&B. We chose Americus Garden Inn because of the excellent ratings we saw online and we were not disappointed! Susan and Kim were incredible hosts - so warm and friendly and just made us feel very welcome and at home from the minute we got there to the minute we left! They pay attention to the little details - rose petals and chocolates on the bed, a "Congratulations" banner across our bedroom door and fresh homeade chocolate chip cookies upon our arrival (just to name a few)! The house is amazing and everything was so clean. Our room was beautiful and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi. We loved hearing about the history of this beautiful home, too. Susan is also a terrific cook and even made sure that we didn't have any dietary restrictions! We made memories that we will not soon forget!!

I have never experienced such a warm and loving atmosphere in an inn or hotel like I did at Americus. Susan is the essence of love and warmth and she spreads them all through the house. My room at the B&B was cozy and the best part about it was the balcony. After a long day at work, I would sit on the rocking bench and look out into the beautiful, serene garden and instintley relax. This is the place to be if one is traveling to Americus (or any surrounding areas) on business. Breakfast was AMAZING!!

Our stay at the Historic Americus Garden Inn was delightful! Innkeepers, Susan and Kim Egelseer, were gracious, kind and attentive, we truly felt pampered. During our stay, we visited Andersonville, and as a result of their informative suggestions, the visit was much more meaningful. We attended a wonderful play at the Historic Rylander Theater, which was a real treat. This was also a great suggestion from our hosts. We highly recommend the Americus Garden Inn, you will definitely not be disappointed.

Kim and Susan Egelseer, owners of the Americus Garden Inn, were very friendly and helpful. We loved our room, the Veranda Suite, as well as the rest of the house. The Inn is very homey and cozy-we felt like we lived there. Susan is a fantastic cook, and our breakfasts were delicious. We are already looking forward to going back again.

Susan and Kim are hosts extraordinaire! I look forward to my next stay!

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Americus Garden Inn. We have stayed in many B&Bs in the U.S.A., and this one is the best ever! Susan and Kim are the epitome of how customer service should be. However, they exceeded! The breakfast was awesome, and every morning, Susan packed up the remaining muffins to enjoy later in the day. Finally, our room was spotless. I loved the tall ceilings throughout the house, too. Needless to say, we will return to this enchanting B&B.

Well, we are home following our wonderful Georgia vacation and going back to work today-------However, I am still in vacation mode and very slow to wake up to my normal 5:45 a.m. alarm. My eyes still closed, trying to pull it together, I hear the song birds outside my window. I immediately think, "I'd better wake Jim up so we won't be late for breakfast!" I pause for a moment hoping to smell the special blend coffee that I have learned to love so much during our five-day-stay here at the gorgeous Americus Garden Inn. With eyes still closed, I make my way into the bathroom, knowing that the other friendly guests will soon be in the dining room for our fantastic breakfast and visiting. I make it into the shower, then reach for the fluffy, green towel that I know will be waiting for me on the towel rack. I've learned that the elves keep everything organized, supplied and polished, but you never see them. Wish I had some of those elves back in Oklahoma. Wait! Is this a joke? This towel is not thick and fluffy. I force one eye open, and find that it's not green. Is this a bad dream? Forcing the other eye open and realizing I'm in my own bathroom, the old line from The Wizard of Oz comes to mind - altered a bit - No, Carole, you're not in Georgia anymore!" BUT, I will be this time next year!

The Scarlett O'Hara Suite is absolutely beautiful. Susan is a marvelous chef. We were enjoying our conversation with our hosts so much at breakfast, we were late getting started on our visit to nearby Andersonville.

My mom and I were on a short trip and, enjoying old places the way we do, wanted to stay in a B&B with some history to it. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about Americus Garden Inn. Room comfort was unsurpassed, with fine linens and high quality mattresses, and the bathroom was updated and offered more than the trickle of water from the shower that you sometimes find in neat old places! Owners are primary caretakers of the inn, and they work hard to be sure each guest feels special and welcome. Breakfast alone is worth the stay, with delectable courses such as chunky apple oatmeal pancakes and shirred eggs, blueberry muffin tops and tangerine and kiwi sections! Susan creates breakfasts to meet not only guests' dietary needs, but their preferences as well, and she and her husband Kim take great care to ensure their visitors have a wonderful B&B experience. Together they have great knowledge of the area and they are happy to share what they know. Treat yourself!

My husband is at Fort Benning for OSC training and he had a break for Easter weekend. All he wanted to do was sleep and enjoy the quiet. So he came across this B&B and we book a room for 2 nights. WOW, we just LOVED it. The house is beautiful, everything was blooming. Even the frogs were charming. Our room was so nice and comfy we hardly left it. Then there are the owners Kim and Susan, what can i say they are super great lovely people who made us feel so welcome. Susan can make the best breakfast you have ever eaten. (blueberry muffins yummy!!!) We are hoping to go back in May and bring our parents with us so they can enjoy it just as much as we did.

Our first stay was basically to attend Sunday School with Jimmy Carter. The hospitality was teriffic and when we needed a stopover with a friend from Hilton Head Island to home we simply rang Kim and Susan and booked. On both ocassions we visited the Andersonville Prison site. The Windsor hotel is a gem to visit and reminisce of yesteryear and have a good meal as well. Wonderful experiece overall, especially the food. Go Susan!!!!

From the moment I spoke with Susan in March 2007, I knew we were in for a special experience. Heading up to Andersonville National Historic Site, we waited almost too late to find a place to rest. My husband and I pulled off the road to phone a few places, on the off chance we'd be able to find something late in the day. By sheer luck, we reached Susan. She sensed our exhaustion (and my husband’s frustration) and identified our backroad location, patiently guiding us back to Americus ... by phone. She waited for our late arrival, offered suggestions for places to dine late, and, best of all, offered a truly comfortable night in an absolutely lovely old home. Of course, we didn't realize until we arrived in Americus the extent of the devastation and that the Inn had suffered significant tornado damage, as well. We stayed that night and, because of the treatment we received, even under the most trying of circumstances, made the decision to extend our stay another night. It was the best ever. My husband is NOT a B&B guy. He likes a big comfortable bed, air conditioning and great tv reception! All that was just the norm, so he was very happy. I loved the personal attention visible in the rooms open to us, painstakingly restored to style with every effort made to cater to updated needs. The baked cookies and special breakfast fares are perfect … all the way to the “presentation.” We returned to the Garden Inn this year because of the treatment we received. This visit was even better, if that’s possible. From that first connection, my husband and I were made to feel like part of their family. We were reluctant to leave and are already planning our next visit there! Don’t pass this one up! Diane and Mike

Kim and Susan made us feel at home from the very beginning of our stay. Fresh coffee and home-made cookies were just the thing we needed after a long drive. Our room was both comfortable and quiet. Susan is a wonderful cook; our breakfast was delicious! We even took a chocolate muffin with us to snack on later. We will definitely stay there again!

Great accommodations, host owners/operators and breakfast!

What a great experience to be had by all who are looking for a Romantic getawy or just some time to relax and refuel. This was a surprise given to me by my husband in celebration of our 31st wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday. Kim and Susan go out of their way to make you feel so welcome and comfortable in their home and go out of their way to may every day special. This was our first experience at a B&B, and I may never stay at a hotel again. Loved every minute, wish it could have been longer, and will be back as soon as possible. The Americus Garden Inn is clean, comfortable, welcoming, and warm with special toushes every where. The breakfasts are not only amazing but beautifully presented. The conversation wonderful, the area beautiful and friendly, surrounded by history and plenty to do. We left feeling like we were part of the family and have definitly meet two very special people. What gracious and kind hosts. Thanks for everything and for making our stay a treasured memory. We will be back :D

Bed was very comfortable , breakfast was great, Kim and Susan were gracious hosts -- that's what B and Bs are all about. Highly recommended. We liked the cats, too.

Kim and Susan have thought of everything to make their guests feel welcome and pampered. Your "home away from home" is lovely and immaculate. Their breakfast is the best you've ever tasted, and the presentation exquisite. Their topics of conversation are interesting, funny, and informative and they are sincerely interested in your stories. To us, their unspoken goal appeared to be to make their guests as comfortable as possible, and to make this B&B experience an enjoyable one. Mission accomplished!

As we were escaping the cold and somewhat sustained upper Mid-west winter, we realized it was the 47th anniversary of our meeting in 1963! The weather was also unseasonably cold in the south as well, and, it was late February (mid-week), so the occupancy was low. The beautiful yard and landscaping looked as chilly as Michiganders. Non of that mattered; Kim and Susan were very cordial, gregarious and wonderful innkeepers, and they out-performed on every item they could control. Since 1982, we had enjoyed SE Georgia and the Golden Isles area for years while the girls were at home and traveling with us. It turns out Western and SW Georgia is also a great region for adventure, discovery, kicking back, and at the same time, learning a lot of history. Home and gardens- historic and well done. Library Rm was optimally sized and appointed. Service- didn't feel like service, but more like spending time with old friends. Cleanliness- excellent; absolutely no complaints. Dining- Americus has several fine options; Susan's breakfasts were absolutely the BEST. Value- for a couple that likes relaxed refinement in beautiful old homes, it's great. We still have lots of things we want to do in W and SW Ga, so the Americus Garden Inn is at the TOP of the list of B&Bs we would make a destination. If you normally travel the interstates, get off and find your way to this Inn.......... but you better make a reservation! Bill & Marie- Pleasant Ridge, Michigan

This was our second stay at this warm and wonderful B & B. We were greeted like long lost friends. We took our visiting niece to Plains and Andersonville and Americus is a good stop over point to do both. There were 3 in our party and we had the ground floor Vernada and Library rooms. The Veranda is perfect for readers with a sofa and two wing chairs with a reading light. We took advantage of the large VHS library and watched the movie, Andersonville, which prepared us for the next day. This room also has a soaking tub and a separate room for the WC. It is great for a couple who likes privacy for their ablutions. It was great to be right across the hall from the dining room where you can get a soda (many sugar free options), coffee or tea and homemade chocolate chip cookies. I was able to retrieve my first cup of coffee for the day in my bathrobe. The bedfast was more than you could ever want. I hated to see one of my oatmeal pecan pancakes go to waste but I was full after blue berry muffins, juice, egg and cheese pie and the pancakes. My husband and I have stayed in many B&Bs over the years and this one is on the top of the list. You will not want for anything and the innkeepers will feel like friends in short order. Kim and Susan have some good stories or ask about Scarlett or Isabella when you visit. I want to return when the gardens are in bloom. Another couple arrived that evening and we ended up getting pizza and eating in the dining room sharing the delivery fee. No one wanted to leave the B & B after our arrival.

The Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast was a wonderful discovery for my husband and I when looking for an overnight stay from Florida to our home. We felt welcomed from our initial phone call booking our room by Susan inquiring about our needs and preferences. The historical home was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a gourmet delight. Kim and Susan excel as innkeepers in offering not just a "stay" but an "experience".

Finding the Americus Garden Inn on our trip home from Florida to Minnesota was a real serendipity. We have stayed in many B & B 's in the U.S. and Europe and this has to be one of the best. Kim and Susan are perfectionists and it shows in all they do. They are warm and genuine and very conscientious about every detail. We will definitely stay there again.

The food was wonderful, the hosts were wonderful. Every little detail was thought of and taken care of. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. Everything was great!

Staying at the Americus Garden Inn Bed and Breakfast, in Americus, GA, was like living the life of royalty in a lovely antebellum mansion. We felt like family with all the amenities of home: dining room open 24 hours a day with fresh baked cookies, snacks, coffee, wide variety of teas and soft drinks, bed with fresh ironed sheets, and warm and sincere hospitality. And the breakfast was a gourmet delight. Since we indicated upon reservation that we were chocoholics, one morning we had chocolate muffins, and the second, chocolate chip scones, along with juice, fruit, and then the main dish. Centrally located between the Andersonville Civil War Prison and National Cemetery, the quaint community of Plains with the home of President Jimmy Carter and his childhood home, and recreation activities at Lake Blackshear, Americus has much to offer for a leisurely vacation. The Americus Garden Inn is a great home away from home where southern hospitality shines.

We have stayed at the A.G.Inn a couple times and for extended stays. The service never faultered. Genuinilnly a home away from home. Owners are very pleasant and the accomodations are always clean and comfortable. The morning breakfast is exquisit and is a wonderful way to stat the day.

My husband and I spent NY Eve at the Americus Garden Inn, and it was a lovely and peaceful way to start the New Year. Susan and Kim were wonderful hosts as well as chefs! Our gourmet breakfast was just right... beautiful, plenty, fresh and delicious, not stuffing you mercilessly like some other B&Bs we have stayed at. The Scarlett room was very cozy and charming.
