My husband and I have been to several B&B's and enjoyed each one. However this one topped them all. We were pleasantly surprised at how roomy and classy our room was. We enjoyed the hot tub, the bonfire, the wonderful hospitality of Jim and Claudia, but the definite highlight was the cuisine. Claudia and Jim put much thought and effort and great talent into making our patio breakfast a true feast. We were waited on hand and foot and felt right at home. Thanks for taking such good care of us, we'll definitely be back! Mark and Cecilia
Great time here

We stayed at the Autumn Nest last week for the first time and this is a great place. We come to the area at least twice a year from Atlanta. We were pleasantly surprised with this delightful bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Bear Room which was spotlessly clean and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the deck and views. Our hosts were spectacular with awesome breakfasts each morning. There was so much great food! Loved the hike to the cove each morning and hiking the other lake trails. This is the cleanest and quietest lake we've seen in GA. Really beautiful. This destination has a lot to offer for everyone.
This B&B is Wonderful

Our friends and my husband and I found this online and made a reservation for their weekday stay special. We had never been to the area before. Have to say that this is a wonderful place for a great getaway! We all loved our rooms and the food was too darn good! Our hosts were great. They gave us ideas for our day trips and great local restaurants. What a wonderful relaxing getaway we had. Loved it!

The room we stayed in was very clean but was right off the main house and the owners are right above you so you can hear them walking around (so you think if you can hear them, surely they can hear you)and they have a precious little dog that barks around 7am. The owners are precious people but it was like going to stay at your moms house for the weekend.

I went with my husband to get away, and we had a very nice time. We took a long, hike down to the lake, in the woods. And to make it even better Claudia and Jim were very nice people. We felt like we were at a friend's house, and it was the first time we had met them. We will be coming back!
