    The stay were so wonderful. The atmosphere were so relaxing. Very peace and quiet. The staff were very friendly. The rooms were excellent. You would have your own space. If you need a place to getaway from your problems or somewhere just for some peace and quiet, Stonehurst is the place. Can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I choose to stay here for a night away the week before Thanksgiving and had a wonderful experience. The attention to detail was outstanding. We were even greeted with hot from the oven lemon bars! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Atlanta.

    Our stay at Stonehurst Place was beyond belief! I was warm and inviting. The Inn Keeper and Owner were a delight, I felt like we were visiting with family friends. My husband and I had reservations for dinner and tickets for the Botanical Gardens and had to tear ourselves away from the inn. We can't wait to get back there, this time we won't leave!

    I am so glad we decided to stay at Stonehurst Place to celebrate my 70th Birthday. It was so special. The decor in all the rooms was outstanding. We stayed in the Farnsworth Suite which was very nice. The bed was really comfortable. I loved the chandelier in the dining room. We had two excellent gourmet breakfasts cooked by Caroline who is a great cook. She also made some very good hor dourves and a lemon pie. You could have coffee or tea any time and there were always some nuts and granola bars in the front sitting room. Caroline and Gary were very helpful about all our inquiries. They gave some good recommendations on restaurants in the area. I can't wait to go back for a visit. Stonehurst Place is pure luxury.

    My party and I occupied the two suites on the top floor on Oct. 7. Wow. What an incredible experience. The mansion is immaculate, each suite has its own unique, special feel. The bedding is luxurious and I guarantee you'll have a good night's sleep -- even though you're in the heart of Midtown! The property's owner does her best -- at great expense -- to make the inn earth-friendly. Thanks you, Barb, for that! Innkeepers Caroline and Gary are exceptional hosts and Caroline's morning breakfast is to die for. Her meals are all prepared to order, fresh and delicious. You won't stop at just one cup of coffee. There's a sense of sadness when it's time to turn over the room key ... only to smile when driving away, remembering the perfect evening at the perfect urban getaway.
