Fodor's Expert Review Open Gates Bed and Breakfast

301 Franklin St., Darien, Georgia, 31305, USA

Built by a timber baron in 1876, this two-story, Italianate house on Darien's Vernon Square is filled with antiques that beautifully decorate each room and offers a relaxing library filled with books of local historical interest. Innkeeper Zach Rath is a former cruise chef, and with his wife, Carrie May, the duo provides unique and thoughtful accommodations for visitors, intimate wedding parties, and family gatherings. A full gourmet breakfast is included in your stay: think cheese-filled crepes, fresh baked muffins, Southern-style grits, and more.
