The Farmhouse Inn

It's been a long time since we stayed at a B&B, so we might not be the best to critique The Farmhouse Inn, Madison GA. However, I am going to share our experience with you. First prior to our arrival we tried to reach the Farmhouse for 10 consecutive days by phone calls, emails and also text messaging but never heard back from them. Concerned about their well-being I called the Sheriff's office to have them do a wellness check. We then learned that the owners were abroad and would be coming home on Monday 2 days before our arrival. That was a definite clue. Upon arrival we walked into the reception area and there was no one to check us into our room. One of their guests in that area was kind enough to fetch the innkeeper. We found out that on Wednesday we were the only ones at the Inn. After 4PM my wife and I were the only ones on the premises. We had ordered a charcuterie board for $35.00 to be placed in our room before arriving. It was expertly prepared and delicious. We unpacked and went into the town to explore Madison and had a lovely afternoon. Dinner that night at Town 220 was off the charts. In the morning, we found remaining items from the previous guests. "Good job cleaning the room before we arrived." We mentioned to the person that we thought was cleaning the rooms, that there were personal belongings from the previous guests in our room. The next day we got up, showered and went for a fabulous breakfast served by Walter. We then went to Lake Oconee and had a fabulous day sightseeing. Came back to shower and get dressed and found that items previously left were gone (located in the bathroom) but the towels on the floor were still there along with dirty dishes and used coffee cups. We had to go down and ask for new towels and we kept those hanging up for the rest of our stay. Spending $250.00 per night for 3 nights we did not think we had to clean up for ourselves. As per the title of our review "Summer Camp" that's what it felt like. We will not return or recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Farmhouse Inn. We stayed with our pup in the cottage which was so spacious and comfortable. Beautiful views over the farm and wonderful trails down to the lake. Delicious breakfast. Nearby Madison is so pretty and we loved walking around the historic district. Highly recommend and hope to stay for longer another time.

What find! This was just the escape we needed. Such a lovely property with peacocks, chickens, ducks, horses and a goat and donkey. We enjoyed getting out in nature exploring the gardens, pond and river. Leslie and Jim are the best hosts and breakfast chef!
