I'm lucky that Sugar Magnolia Bed & Breakfast was my first experience staying at a b&b. It's a gorgeous home with thoughtfully curated furniture in the beautiful Inman Park neighborhood.
We arrived to a welcome note on the front porch, and I actually loved this, as we were so tired from hours in the car that expending energy with a b&b getting-to-know-you conversation I'd anticipated felt like more than my shyness wanted. It's as though Sugar Magnolia had anticipated my personality, and we could come and go as we pleased. We did eventually encounter the innkeeper and owner, and they were so dear.
We stayed in the Garden Room, which had access to the deck. The photos online had me thinking I might read out on the deck, but the neighborhood's activities were so convenient that we found ourselves out and about much of the time during our two-night stay. (The inn's proximity to the beltline and Krog Street Market are why we booked it, and the neighborhood is very walkable.) The queen bed is likely the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, like sleeping on multiple feather bed layers. The inn is clean and quiet, and Kathryn's breakfasts are fantastic -- I felt full, warm and ready for the day without being stuffed. Debi and Kathryn were kind, caring, informative and welcoming. When reserving online, we'd asked that the linens be washed without fabric softener, as my husband's allergic. Kathryn made sure to let us know once there that they'd done this.
I really appreciated every aspect of the work that went into making our stay comfortable, from the tea and coffee available just outside our room 24 hours a day, to fruit at breakfast, to chocolates on the nightstand, to the linens, to their keen sense of our personalities and the level of interaction we were looking for. I'm so, so glad that we stayed at Sugar Magnolia. I'd do it again in a heartbeat and recommend it to everyone. The next b&b I reserve has a lot to live up to.
