Fodor's Expert Review Beechwood Inn

Operating as an inn for more than 100 years, the Beechwood offers sophisticated yet down-to-earth Southern hospitality in a lovely two-story wood lodge overlooking Clayton. The views are spectacular from the spacious front porch where "Wine Thirty" is served every evening, featuring the inn's own North Georgia wines. Beechwood is a haven for food and wine lovers—the innkeepers, who happen to be noted chefs, regularly offer cooking classes, wine tastings, and farm-to-table dinners each Saturday night.
