Fodor's Expert Review Antebellum Inn

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This classic Southern mansion, converted to an inn, features two parlors, a wraparound porch, a guest cottage, and five unique guest suites. Each room features beautiful period antiques but still offers all the modern creature comforts. The breakfasts are fabulous—think raspberry French toast, farm-fresh eggs, bacon, and of course, grits. With lush landscaping and a pool, the inn offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation. The inn also now offers a sister property, Soho Lofts, with four modern one-bedroom lofts in a renovated 1890 building in the heart of downtown. The professionally decorated lofts are fun and modern and offer full kitchens—a great choice if you're looking for a little more space and privacy.
