    Nighly Get Away

    April 30, 2013

    My friends and I wanted a little get away from our college town for a night, so we found this little gem online. When we arrived, it was better than in the pictures online. It was beautiful. We stayed in the Sidney Lanier room, and it was perfect for us. The area is a little sketchy, but the place is perfect. We definitely plan on returning!

    Gone with the wind

    April 24, 2013

    After 10 years my husband and I came back to Macon just to stay once again in the beautiful house 1842 Inn. This time we brought all our (adult) children and their spouses and we had a great time. The house is that what we Germans love of the Deep South and it gives you a tast of "Gone-with-the-wind! We felt a bit like Scarlett and Rhett..... we are thankful that even in the modern US places like this exist. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

    Great Stay in Macon

    April 19, 2013

    Had one night stay at the 1842 Inn. Great house, staff very attentive and friendly. Bathroom a bit dated (but so is mine at home). Easy walk to downtown if not pouring rain. Would stay there again

    Southern Dream

    March 30, 2013

    The Inn is like living the "Gone With the Wind" dream -- step back into another era. 'Getting slightly frayed around the edges, but in the recent economy that's probably to be expected. Very convenient to the Washington Library and downtown. The staff were all extremely pleasant and eager to be helpful. Breakfast not as sumptuous as at some B&B's, but was tasty and adequate. (Would have been nice to have some fruit on the plate.)
