Beechwood Inn

Fantastic hosts and property

I cannot recommend this place enough. Eli and Marlon were amazing host and made us feel right at home. You can tell they take pride in the resort with how clean it is and how warm all of the decor is. From the moment we got there until we left they were so hospitable. The breakfast provided was fantastic and unique. We had wine hour with them both nights we were there and had the best conversations like old friends. They were very helpful with ideas for local restaurants and wineries as well. On top of all of that the location is perfect being so close to downtown and several wineries. We will definitely be back!

This property is a charming, cozy, wonderful stay. The house has been fully renovated in the last 2 years by the new owners who included all comforts and a lovely design aesthetic. The owners are the hosts and warm, welcoming people. The food was 5 star incredible!!! Absolutely 0 complaints, I will definitely be going back!

We booked a mid-week overnight stay at Beechwood Inn with 2 other couples coupled with an amazing 4 course wine dinner curated by a local chef. Marlon & Eli are consummate hosts starting with a tour of their magnificent inn and pre-dinner cocktail reception. The property is everything you long for when visiting the Northeast GA mountains. Your stress will evaporate as soon as you enter the front porch. Once inside this meticulously appointed inn you’ll feel it’s historic charm from the sitting rooms to the comfy suites upstairs. Our mid-week stay provided a safe gathering spot for us to connect with friends, enjoy great food & wine over dinner and cap our stay with an amazing breakfast. Beechwood Inn has my highest recommendation for a stay of any length in Clayton, GA!

I didn't know what to expect when I pulled into the Beechwood Inn but quickly learned a little history of the place from Eli and Marlon. It has pretty much continuously been an inn since 1922. Eli and Marlon purchased the inn in December of 2021 and they quickly put their imprint on the place. The rooms are charming (and spacious for an old inn). It has been remodeled and modernized over the years but still keeps its 20's charm. Eli and Marlon are the perfect hosts. They are excited about the inn and make the guests feel comfortable and at home. They offer a wine hour at 5:30 pm and breakfast is from 8-9 am every morning and trust me, it's worth it. Eli made some delicious breakfasts that went above and beyond what most inns would offer. Marlon made sure you had plenty of coffee (and wine). They are an interesting couple and really like to interact with the guests. They make you feel like they are inviting you into their home. You definitely cannot go wrong staying here. I think it is one of the top 10 inns I've stayed in over the years. I predict even greater things for it and Eli and Marlon.

Wonder weekend getaway. Eli and Marlon are the best of hosts. We stayed in the Garden Cabin and had everything we needed. The main house was also great place for nice views, good coffee and breakfast in the morning and wine in the evening. There are also plenty of opportunities to find a quiet spot and read. We highly recommend the picnic lunch Eli can pack for you. We took ours with us on one of the nearby hikes and it was great. The breakfast was delicious, the bed was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a beautiful anniversary weekend at the Beechwood Inn. The owners Marlon & Eli were so gracious, welcoming and more than accommodating. They made us feel like family. We enjoyed getting to know them and other guests at Wine thirty each evening and the delicious breakfasts each morning. The Beechwood wine is wonderful as well! We highly recommend the Cabernet. The 100 year old Inn is a beautiful step back in time. Our suite was spacious and as comfortable as our own home. We especially enjoyed the in room fireplace and the beautiful outdoor fire pit and sitting area. Marlon and Eli also had great recommendations for dining and things to do in Clayton. We will most definitely return to this amazing home away from home again and again! Thank you Marlon & Eli!!

The host couple Eli and Marlon go out of their way to make you feel special. They really understand the meaning of delight the customer. The breakfast food is superb. The wine on the deck in evening. Offering to carry luggage. They really know the area making good recommendations. And they’ve only been the owners since December. They are putting much work into this old Inn and it shows ; with more planned. The room was comfortable and clean. The location is only a short distance from main road. It is quiet and certainly quaint. We will return again, hopefully in the fall.

Best hosting and accommodations. The Inn is absolutely beautiful with such excellent attention to detail. The room was so beautiful and comfortable. Loved the fireplace and bathtub. Breakfast was amazing. We also had wine and charcuterie board that was very good. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We’re making plans to return soon.
