I generally prefer to book cabins or cottages on the grounds of a B&B, so when I saw "Major's Cabin" at Lake Allatoona Inn, I booked it, thinking it was an actual cabin. Upon arrival, I discovered that it is only a rather smallish room in the inn.

While the inn itself is nicely decorated and well kept, the lack of accoustic isolation made sleep difficult for us. The first night, I slept little, constantly hearing sounds of the bed creaking in the adjacent room, as well as people coming up and down the stairs and along the hall. The second night, we were the only guests and it was quieter.

Although the Inn is accross the road from Lake Allatoona, guests at the inn can only see the lake by standing (not sitting) on the 2nd floor porch, since the view is blocked by a levee or similar earthwork structure.

I very much enjoyed walking in the nearby battlerground park adjacent to the lake. For me, that was the best part of the trip.

We were only given 2 bath towels for our two night stay - and no bath mat, although the floor of the bath was heated. I had to turn up the floor heat to dry the bathroom floor.

The bath attached to our room had a (locked) door to the adjacent room - through which we could easily hear our neighbors' conversation. My wife and I were reluctant to use the bathroom in the night for fear of waking our neighbors.

We did not meet the innkeeper until the 2nd day of our stay.
The innkeepers were dealing with a family medical crisis, so we probably did not catch them at their best.

Breakfast was something warmed up in the microwave - rather disappointing.

We were traveling with our two horses and pets from our winter home in Fl. to our home in Indiana. It was so nice to have our horses stay in a clean environment and safe, as well as the lovely room we shared there. The breakfast was the best ever, and we were made to feel like we were family.

My husband and I stayed here Saturday, February 16th, 2008. The home is beautiful. Our room was a nice size. The bathroom was tiled with heated floors. The owners are very nice and will do anything within their power to make your stay pleasant . This place is in a great location. Convenient to Atlanta and Cartersville. Only minutes to the Interstate. There is a battlefield and a lake across the road. We enjoyed walking on the trails. Now for the down side. The train tracks are very close and trains blows their horns several times a day. The house sits close to a very busy and noisy road. The parking lot for the battlefield is just across the road with people and their barking dogs getting out to go for a walk. Our room was upstairs at the front of the house and our bed was by the hall door. There was interior noise also. I did not get much sleep because I am a light sleeper. My husband said the noise did not bother him that much. The next morning at breakfast, which was just so so, all the guests said the trains were loud and ran a lot that night. If noise does not bother you then you will enjoy this place.

Stayed in General Corse's suite for only a night but we positively loved it. The main room has a king bed and then there's another room separated from the bedroom by a fireplace with a sleeper sofa (perfect for my sister-in-law who was traveling with us). The bathroom was magnificent--heated floors , a huge jetted tub beneath a stained glass window, and an oversized shower. Breakfast in the designer kitchen of your dreams was wonderful. The easy going owners, Lynn and Dave, make you feel at home. Spend the day walking the Allatoona Pass (a civil war battle site and monuments directly across the street), enjoying the lake, or shopping and dining in nearby Cartersville. The web pictures do not do this place justice.
