Mileybright Farmhouse

Joe and Diane are great folks. Mileybright does not feel like a hotel; one feels like a guest in a friend's home. We had a birthday celebration in downtown Decatur which is minutes away, so the location was perfect. This home was boarded up and condemned in 1997 when Joe and Diane bought it. They have done an absolutely fabulous job of restoring it We would highly recommend Mileybright if you have occasion to be in or near Decatur, GA.

We stayed 2 nights at Mileybright while vacationing at nearby Stone Mtn. Joe and Diana were exceptional hosts. The house is gorgeous and kept clean. Diana went out of her way to find tasty pastries to go with the fresh fruit and yogurt. Some of the fruit was fresh from the garden. Both Joe and Diana helped us with directions to various locations, places to eat, etc. Overall outstanding visit!

My husband and I spent a night in the upstairs bedroom. The room was just beautiful- large with high ceiling, and furnished with interesting decor. A ceiling fan helps keep the room nice and cool. Very comfy bed. The bathroom was good, and it didn't really bother us that it was out in the hall rather than en-suite. You are the only guests that will be using it. We never heard any noise from other guestrooms or plumbing, perhaps since we were on the top floor. This home is 100 years old so the floors and doors squeak a bit as you would expect. I am a light sleeper so I did notice some street noise since this room is at the front of the house. Hosts were very laid back. Breakfast was super-casual, and we were allowed to eat whenever we were ready instead of a set time which was much appreciated. We LOVED LOVED LOVED downtown Decatur! It's a very short drive from the B&B, and loaded with quaint brick-and-mortar shops and restaurants. You can park your car and walk everywhere. Very pleasant, friendly and safe. A GREAT option if you're spending time in the Atlanta area. You can't beat the price, too!

We stayed in the bedroom with the other members of the family in the adjoining apartment. It was a great for us. The refrigerator was well stocked for us to cook a good breakfast and we especially enjoyed the nice bowl of fruit. The hospitality of Diana and Joe was outstanding and very much appreciated.

We stayed at this B&B for 5 days to attend a wedding in Decatur. I can say that Diane made our stay perfect. Even down to the fresh fruit salad in the kitchen. The B&B is just great. Steve in NC

My husband and I needed a place to stay after attending a party in Atlanta. Not wanting to spend the money for a midtown or downtown hotel, Mileybright fit the bill. Located just minutes from downtown Decatur, this bed and breakfast offered clean, wonderfully restored rooms and gorgeous grounds. Our room was large and the bed was very comfortable with especially soft sheets. The innkeepers were available if we needed them but not overbearing or intrusive. Affordable, comfortable and clean, I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay at Mileybright Farmhouse. It was very clean and peaceful.

What a great decision! We needed a short-term place to live and picked the Mileybright and, WOW we were happy. The innkeepers are warm, welcoming, attentive, and flexible; The Apartment was everything we needed and more with a kitchen and 2 bedrooms; and the location was, well, ideal. It’s great for early morning walks and close to restaurants and transportation. Dee & Joe are nice and so helpful. I want to thank them for the fresh fruit and vegetables. The bowl of unique cherry tomatoes… they were so sweet and juicy. The house is a grand old 'girl' that the innkeepers brought back with their own hands. Look at the 'in process' pics and you will appreciate the hard work it took to make the house look so nice. Thanks Joe and Dee, your inn is on our list of 'Must stay' when in the Atlanta metro!!!

Although we had directions, it was hard to find the B&B because it is hidden behind tall trees by the street and there is no marker to prepare you to find it. After several tries, we finally found the little street. Then, after coming back from a function at night, it took us forever to find the home again because everything is so dark in that block.

I have stayed at Mileybright several times--always delightful. This time, a colleague from work & I stayed in the 2-bedroom apt and it was very special. Very comfortable to have a living room space in which to relax, a porch for an afternoon glass of wine and enjoy the spring weather. Look forward to more visits.

My husband and I stayed at Mileybright Farmhouse while visiting our daughter at Agnes Scott. Our room was spacious and lovely, with a gas fireplace and a very comfy bed. The furnishings are lovely and the inn is immaculate. We enjoyed talking with the owners, who are friendly, interesting and able to give us tips on places we might enjoy. The breakfasts were delicious, homemade and healthy. In the summer, we would enjoy something from their garden. It is lovely to sit on the front porch to read a book, with views of an expansive lawn and a lovely garden. We would highly recommend Mileybright!

I had a wonderful time at Mileybright Farmhouse. Joe was so helpful and the perfect host. The house is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and every imaginable luxury was provided. The photos and description provided simply don't do this B&B justice. You have to experience it for yourself.

Convenient location, great hosts. recommend highly.

I had a wonderful week at Mileybright. I had to work in the area for a week and had never stayed in a B&B in the US. I'm going back again in March and April.

I spent three nights at Joe's and Diana's B& B in Decatur when on a conference to Agnes Scott College and I have to say that this was by far my best B& B expoerience. Dinner was not part of the package but UI ended up having dinner with them pm two occasions. They are wonderful people and they have a wonderful establishment.

What a combination - an artfully recreated farm house and warm, friendly hospitality - beautiful and comfortable!!

We have stayed at Mileybright twice with Joe and Diana and plan to return soon. We've stayed in two parts of the house--the king bedroom and, with family, in the two bedroom apartment--and have enjoyed both stays immensely. The house was beautifully decorated in December and cheery and bright in early Spring! We love the setting and proximity to downtown Decatur and enjoy spending the days in Atlanta. Joe and Diana are very knowledgeable about the area and are wonderful hosts. We enjoy coming home at night to Mileybright!

Colorful Mexican motif decorates this charming farmhouse from the 1920s. Tasteful hor d'ourves surprised us each evening. Comfortable. Secluded yet close to shopping. Would definitely recommend.

Mileybright is a great in town getaway. My wife and I live in Decatur, GA, a few miles from Mileybright. We stayed overnight in one of the bedrooms as a treat for our anniversary and we were very pleased. Joe and Diana are excellent hosts. The house is gorgeously restored and decorated. We loved the atmosphere, the silence and ambience. I will recommend this to all my friends and we will definitely be back.

The hosts (Joe and Diana) were amazing, my husband and I immediately felt like we were more than guests in their beautiful home. We actually felt more like family. The home is absolutely amazing, the pictures can not capture the true essence and beauty of the restoration of this stately home. We stayed in the suite- which is actually more like a two bedroom home with two gorgeous fireplaces- very romantic! Diana even made us a special homemade anniversary cake which was such a nice treat!! I couldn't help myself and even took the rest of this treat home with me after our stay. My husband and I plan on returning when ever we can and will highly recommend this B&B to our friends and family.

This place is AMAZING! Joe & Diana are perfect hosts & they have restored this farm house to better-than-before condition! It feels like home the minute you walk in & the apt is HUGE -- with working gas fireplace! They obviously lovingly decorated their home and THEN decided to rent rooms -- no cheap "rental" ANYTHING here! You won't believe the before & after pictures! We enjoyed several luxurious moments out on the "veranda" with the ceiling fans lazily circulating the air, watching the birds, cats &/or the rain from the comfort of a cozy couch & chairs. My 7 year old son proclaimed, "This is the most beautiful house I've ever seen!" ;) Enjoy!!
