Inn Details
Step back in time to a slow, peaceful era of quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and an abundance of flowers and trees. Hummingbird House is located in the small historic town of Lexington, Georgia where everyone makes you feel at home with friendly southern hospitality. The house is one of three antebellum Greek Revival homes that anchor the central historic district. Beautifully decorated and sitting on ten pastoral acres in the center of town, it is a marvelous place to escape for a time away from the fast paced city life. Relax - just sit on the patio and watch the birds and listen to the flowers grow. Walking tours of the district are available if you feel more energetic. Come escape with us soon.
