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 The website is way out of date: the prices are wrong, there are no phones in the room and no internet access.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.

My wife & I just stayed at the Village Inn for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. WHAT A DISASTER!!! I would not recommend this inn to anyone. This was a very big disappointment for us.

The trouble began when checking in last Thursday. When we pulled up, the innkeeper saw us pull up outside & asked what we were doing there. We told her who we were & we had a reservation. She said she had no reservations listed for that day. I had to pull out my copy of the E-Mail confirmation, before the light went on. Should have been a sign of things to come.......

The room that we had fist wanted was available for the first 2 nights, & we would need to change rooms on the 3rd night. The innkeeper gave us the keys to the Blue Room & up the stairs we went. Now, the innkeeper did not share any type of info on the room with us, as every other innkeeper that we have ever met does. Usually, innkeepers show you to your room, etc & ask if you have questions. Not in this case. The directions to light the fireplace were shouted from downstairs & that was it. We were on our own.

Upon entering the room, it was hard to see, as the light bulbs in the ceiling fan were either missing or burnt out. Also, the light over the jacuzzi in the bathroom was burnt out as well. It was getting dark, & there were no one else at the inn that night, etc. We borrowed some bulbs from vacant rooms, to be able to light up the room.

Later that evening, we went to crack up the jacuzzi. After filling the tub, we hit the on button. The tub came on for about 3 seconds & died. It would not come back on. Next , we tried to use the hand held shower head & this did not work as well.

The next morning, at breakfast, we informed the innkeeper of the problems, etc. She seemed surprised. There was no real apology of the problems, instead she proceeded to look into the problems. She replaced bulbs, etc. & told us that the jacuzzi still did not work., after she worked on it for a while. A plumber would need to come out & look at it & this would not happen soon. We asked if we could moved to Scarlett's room,. as this was the room we were gong to have for the length of our stay. We were told this was OK & we moved down to the other room.

The Scarlett room had its own problems.

One of the first things we did was to check on the jacuzzi. At least in this room, the jacuzzi jets worked, etc. However, after filling the tub & starting the jets, the jacuzzi began to lose water after a while. All of a sudden, you needed to shut off the jacuzzi & fill it with more water, etc. Also, the jacuzzi did not maintain a good temperature. Last, the fiter probably had not been checked or cleaned in some time, etc as they were pieces of something black coming out of the jets. The jacuzzi is one of the best parts of the B&B stay, & we greatly missed this.

Thank goodness the fireplace in the room worked, as this was the only source of heat in the room.. The controls to set the temperature in the room to heat did not work. It got pretty cold at night & we ran the fireplace all night, etc.

The breakfasts were fine, except that they lack the "warmth" of a regular bed & breakfast. You did not feel welcome & there was very little contact with the innkeeper, at breakfast or otherwise. This is usually a fun part of the B&B experience. We did not receive this at this inn. . We felt like we didn't belong there.

We have been to several B&Bs over the years, & know what to look for, in a quality B&B. Just about all of them have been very good.

To all who have posted better reviews, glad it was OK for you. But perhaps, you had not been to a great B&B to know the difference. This one is definitely not a great or good one.

Our 4th visit to the Village Inn which must tell you something.
Great B&B with a great innkeeper and a great breakfast....did I say how great this place is.
We always meet interesting people around the breakfast table and there is a wonderful view of the Mountain from the front balcony.
As an extra bonas, Bev's Bar and the fabulous Bundos Market Restaurant are only a few blocks away......and there's a mountain.
