  Found it here on TripAdvisor, booked it in advance and arrived in the early evening. We were warmly greeted by their night staff person, who showed us to our room... read more and directed us to a great local restaurant. Book it!

  We checked in late in the afternoon and the lady who greeted us and showed us to our rooms was true southern hospitality in every way! She ushered us around... read more the property and made us feel so welcome! The rooms were beautiful and very historic ( I was impressed by the photos of those who have also stayed there-Cher, Oprah, etc.-that's good in my book!) and the lovely authentic antiques.

The appetizers before dinner were great (warm cheese straws) and the breakfast was incredible-so decadent! I would definitely stay there again!
