I agree with the comment "I'm still not sure how I feel about the Village Inn".
I was between a 2 and a 3.

The house itself was the best part, as it really did feel old and have kind of a 'haunted house' type of feel.
Unless you are going to Stone Mountain park, the location is pretty bad.
The historic Stone Mountain Village is dead, and even some of the annual parades have been cancelled. There are many quaint towns in Georgia, but this isn't one of them.

The Innkeeper was indeed surly, and the breakfast was 2 small pieces of french toast with a few corn flakes on them. Not impressive at all.
I had read that the Innkeeper had sold everything and this was her retirement nest egg.
I believe I saw a realtor sign in the front yard... at any rate, perhaps she has a reason to be in a bad mood. I'd be surprised if the place was still running in 2 years.

We went as a 'staycation' to try something different for a night.
It was different, and we won't be back.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the Village Inn. I stayed there for two nights with my wife and two children.

First of all I have to say that the house is great. Extremely rustic and felt warm. The house I definitely enjoyed. The old furniture was surprisingly comfortable. I did enjoy the creeking of the old floors under my feet. If you paid close attention you could actually feel the house swaying.

We stayed in the Ballroom. The ballroom is the entire third floor. It was spacious, had a seperate bedroom and whirlpool tub. Unfortunately, there really is no third floor, it is more of an attic. The house is an A frame so the side walls of the ballroom slope. I am 6' tall and had to bend down to brush my teeth. Again, I took this as part of the charm of the old house.

The breakfast was very good. We all enjoyed it.

The Bad -

The Inn keeper is not a very warm person. The "Southern Hospitality" that the website spoke of is missing, big time. In conversation it came out that she is from Minnesota. Being southern born and raised myself, I can tell you that "Southern hospitality" is not something that can be taught, or purchased with a B&B.

There were other things that were missing. The place seems to be getting run down. The microwave in our room didn't work, the floors were dirty, there were dead bugs in our room (I am glad they were dead) and the shower drain was clogged. As for the snacks and beverages mentioned on the website, they were not at all what we expected. The tea cart downstairs was fairly empty. There were no fresh baked cookies. The only snacks were a few bags of chips in a basket in the downstairs dining room. The fridge in the room was empty. There were a few small bottles of water and a couple of cokes in the fridge downstairs. On the coffee table was a candy dish and my kids kept asking if they could have a piece, I had to tell them no. It looked like it had been there for a very long time.

Again, I enjoyed the house and the breakfast, but I can't help thinking that for the price we paid, we could have been extremely comfortable in a nice hotel.

This is my first stay in a B&B. I have heard great stories about the hospitality and how wonderful it is to stay in a B&B. I didn't feel that at the Village Inn. I guess that if you ignore a lot of what the website promises, and manage your expectations it was an OK place to stay. There are other B&Bs in the area that may provide a better experience.

We stayed here for my husband’s birthday for just one night. The innkeeper was very nice and the breakfast was delicious. The homemade cookies and snacks were great to have on hand. We stayed in the Rhett room with a door that opened onto the veranda, a two person Jacuzzi and a gas fireplace. The weather was rainy and cold so the fireplace was great and the room was very cozy. We REALLY loved the history of the inn (including the creaky stairs, it added character) and the interaction with the other guests that we met. We plan on going back when the weather is better (springtime) and visiting Stone Mountain Park and will stay here again. All in all, it was a very enjoyable time.

First, in view of other reviews, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. The website is way out of date: the prices are wrong, there are no phones in the room and no internet access. Stone mountain village is a bit dead, though picturesque, and the only person in Georgia who isn't charming runs the cafe/chocolate and coffee/wine/gift shop on the high st, where we would otherwise have spent a fair bit of time people-watching..
Now the good stuff. Coming from the UK we get a bit bored with the word "historic" applied to anything over 20 years old in the USA, but this place is the genuine article. It is within easy walking distance of Stone Mountain Park. I found the hostess, Ashley, very obliging. The breakfasts she provided us were unbelievably good. It took me about 2 months to regain my shape after getting back to the UK, in spite of walking up Stone mountain several times during our stay.. Her son, who helps out, was a great source of information, deccaff coffee and good humour. The jaccuzzi in the Blue room worked a treat - be careful with bubble-bath, though, or it can get a bit cartoon-like. The open gas fire also worked well, and looked wonderful, but could take you by surprise until you got the hang of it! (The rug in fromt of the fire was very comfortable ;) ). We stayed over a week there, and enjoyed it very much. But a previous reviewer is right- I wouldn't want an overnight stay there if the Jaccuzzi wasn't working, it would be just too disappointing. But for us, it worked just fine, and our stay was a great success.
