We did not stay here. I stumbled into this historical bed and breakfast by accident and definitely will stay here next time in Macon. The house was built in 1842,where it's name coming form. It was turned into a bed and breakfast 1985. The best, it has two Tesla charging station (40 mile per hr type). Electric car owners, you can feel rest assured staying nights here without spending time charging your car somewhere else during the day.

What a wonderful place to stay! The hospitality of the staff is top notch, the breakfast is amazing, and the rooms and facilities super clean. It has been a long time since I felt like home in a hotel. 10 stars!

Beautiful house, room was nice with period furnishings and a nice mattress. Our experience wasn't great overall though. We came the week before Christmas, and they were hosting a group event. The narrow side street check in was blocked by people unloading to set up the event, we circled a few times and called, and instead of asking the people to pull out and let us unload they told us to park in the parking lot and just carry our luggage farther. We entered to the hip hop music the group was playing, and they took up the whole first floor. We never got to sit and have a drink or see the house. To top it off, after having their breakfast in our room the next morning and leaving for Savannah I had to pull over at a gas station violently ill with food poisoning. I'm sure it could be a nice place to stay, it just didn't work out for us. Between not being warned about the event and the seeming indifference to it affecting us, I would not visit again.

The Master wedding at the 1842 Inn felt like stepping straight into a Secret Garden. The bride dreamed of an elegant, hidden-garden celebration, and this venue absolutely delivered. From hors d’oeuvres on the wraparound porch to a beautifully styled tent in the back for dancing, every detail was executed with stunning precision. The elegance of the evening truly felt like something out of a movie—especially the grand entrance, which was unforgettable. For Middle Georgia brides looking for a historic, storybook venue with exceptional service and Southern charm, the 1842 Inn is a standout.

Beautifully restored Inn and the staff is extremely helpful and attentive. I especially liked Chef Lakecia's breakfast casserole. She accommodated my early schedule and gave me a special table right by the Christmas tree. This was so thoughtful.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at the 1842 inn. We had mint juleps and complimentary hors d'oeuvres on the veranda. Our room came with robes and slippers and our beds were some of the softest I’ve ever slept on! Before we left we had tea on the veranda. All the employees were so nice and helpful! If we are ever in Macon, Ga we will be happy to stay again!

I recently stayed at the inn to work a wedding. I am a hair and makeup artists and the bridal party stayed at the inn and I got them all ready there. The staff were exceptional! Everyone was so kind, offered and helped me with my heavy equipment. Constantly made sure everyone was taken care of. The rooms were clean and well kept. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable highlight of our family road trip. Our stay at this stately Greek Revival mansion was nothing short of extraordinary. The accommodations were impeccable— elegant and comfortable. But the true highlight of our visit was the exquisite breakfast. Served in a beautifully preserved Victorian parlor, we enjoyed a freshly prepared in-house meal, quality tea, and the most delightful homemade scones. It was a true feast for both the senses and the soul, exactly what we were looking for. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel completely at home. This experience is one we will always fondly remember. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
