"My wife and I really enjoy staying at bed & breakfasts. We've been to tons of them over the past ten years. So trust me when I say this: Sweet Gum Bottom is, hands down, the very best bed and breakfast we've ever stayed at. Let me put it this way -- staying at Sweet Gum Bottom is almost a curse because once you've experienced it, no other place compares. SGB is truly in a class by itself. Every time we try a new B&B we invariably end up saying, "Well, this is really nice, but it's nothing like Sweet Gum Bottom." Sweet Gum Bottom just hits on all cylinders. The interior decorating, the grounds keeping, the FOOD, the hospitality, the cleanliness, the comfort, the warmth, everything is spot on. Innkeepers Laura and Ricky Oswald just pay incredible attention to detail. Nothing is overlooked, nothing is glossed over. Their pride shows in everything. Laura's southern cooking just defies words. I can't express just how good it is. Her combinations of flavors and her presentation are the work of a master chef. There's something very warm and just "right" about Sweet Gum Bottom. We consider it our home away from home, only I relax better there than at home because I know Laura and Ricky are taking care of things so we don't have to. It's my favorite place to visit. Take my advice -- stay at Sweet Gum Bottom. I would give it six stars if I could. We've recommended SGB to many of our friends and ALL of them have thanked us and told us how great an experience it was. SGB is definitely worth an out-of-state trip.
