Garden House Bed and Breakfast
Garden House Bed and Breakfast is located in the Clairemont/Great Lakes area of Decatur, Georgia. The close-in neighborhood is five blocks from the center of the city, where antique shops, gift emporiums, and numerous inviting restaurants beckon. Large oak, poplar, and pine trees shade the lovingly landscaped grounds designed by local landscaper Cheryl Kanes. The owners invite guests to enjoy the spacious screen porch for relaxing and bird watching. The porch, with ceiling fans, overlooks the perennial garden and pond. Mahonia, four o'clocks, rose of Sharon, and nandina plus banks of azaleas enhance the privacy of the property. Guests have been pleased with the restful, quiet atmosphere in the midst of a busy city. The two-story private home was built in the 1950's and has a colonial feel. Furnishings feature family antiques and soft pastels. Come stay with us for your "getaway" in the city.
