| DESCRIPTION |
|
Slip quietly back in time to the spirit and splendor of the Old South in this elegant Antebellum Georgia plantation home. Grand Oaks Manor with its rich history stands alone as a place of distinctive and elegant lodging in classic Athens. Originally built in 1820 as the Gum Springs Inn, it later became a stagecoach stop and then a plantation home. In 1947 the inn was totally refurbished and reconstructed. In 1994 it was thoroughly renovated again. In 2000 Celeste and Harry Neely purchased the Inn and have since completely refashioned,upgraded, and redecorated the entire facility. The rooms are romantic and comfortable, yet each exudes historic charm. A fine collection of museum quality antiques included Federal mirrors, furniture, clocks, and art. King and Queen sized beds, all private baths, cable television and phones in every room. Rocking chair verandah, central air and heat, ceiling fans. Beautiful setting on 30 rolling and wooded acres; quiet, and rural in feeling, yet only 5 miles from downtown Athens and the University of Georgia. Truly a park-like sanctuary loaded with wildlife, pecan and oak trees and other varieties of plants. Stroll along the lovely nature walks past the natural springs and the secluded lake. Don't miss the evening feeding of our friendly deer!
