Stonehurst Place, a Romantic 1896 Luxury Bed and Breakfast Inn Reviews
We didn’t get there until 8:00 after depositing the boys for the evening but it was great. We walked to dinner at Nikimotos which was fabulous as always. Seeing the skyline of Atlanta as we walked was almost surreal. It is such a pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The Master Suite is luxurious but then I love all of Stonehurst. The things you have done has created such a warm feeling. And the bed – My wife and I agree is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. The sheets, the pillows, the blankets were delightful. We watched the movie “August Rush” which if you haven’t seen, please do.
Saturday morning we actually felt slightly guilty in the shower but only because not many have the opportunity to shower in treated rainwater heated by the sun. The breakfast was fantastic and beautifully served.
You and all of your support people have done a great job restoring this wonderful place which we will continually recommend. And Tree is the most warm and gracious hostess/innkeeper you could have ever found. She really explains all of the Solar water heating, greywater recycling, rain harvesting and water filtration features of Stonehurst like an expert. It really shows that she cares deeply about you and Stonehurst.
We have a niece getting married in Piedmont Park around memorial day. Stonehurst will be a perfect place for out of town guests before the wedding and possibly for a honeymoon night for our niece and her betroth. We will be in touch with Tree.
Warmest regards,

Review of Stonehurst Inn, Atlanta, Georgia
Tucked in a delightful neighborhood, surrounded by wonderful restaurants, this restored bed and breakfast is enchanting! We do not often go intown for romantic adventures, but our evening at Stonehurst Inn may change that habit. This Inn is remarkable in many ways but most notably because it was restored with modern energy saving techniques. As we enjoyed the six headed shower, we laughed that even in drought stricken Georgia, we did not need to feel guilty. This is because the water is reclaimed rainwater that has been treated to be crystal fresh. The water was heated by solar panels too! Our room was cozy with incredible linens and a superbly comfortable bed. We awoke to a tasty breakfast and truly enjoyed our stay.

Stonehurst Place is fabulous! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had arrived at a very special inn. The décor is a feast for the eyes and the soul…beauty and comfort everywhere we looked. We were greeted by the innkeeper, Trenell, who is so warm and friendly, yet knows when to give you your space. Drinks were served every evening with delightful little goodies to eat and then in the morning, more delicious food for breakfast served on lovely china place settings beside the dining room fireplace. And our room was amazing! We stayed in the Master Suite, warmed ourselves by the fire, played in the water (in our bathroom with HUGE shower, multiple shower heads and spa tub), and went to sleep between luxurious sheets on a mattress that felt incredible. I wanted to stay forever! This inn is a MUST STAY place. Give yourself a treat the next time you‘re in Atlanta. I know I’ll be back as much as possible.

This past October (2008) my wife and I had our wedding and reception at Stonehurst Place, as well as our rehearsal party the preceding evening. I could not have asked for a better location, nor for a better experience.
The location is absolutely beautiful, from the gardens outside where we held our ceremony, to each and every room in the house. The decor and art are unique and wonderful, and the substantial group of interior designers on our guest list very much enjoyed going from room to room to take it all in. The gardens around the house provided the perfect spot for us to have our ceremony.
The accommodations, from bedrooms to bath, were luxurious. And the innkeeper and staff went above and beyond to make sure that we and our guests, both those staying with us over the weekend at the house as well as those coming for the events over the course of the weekend, were well taken care of, well fed, and that everything with our ceremony and reception went smoothly. It was tremendous for us to have our celebration in such a beautiful, historic establishment, being taken care of as well as we were.

An Absolute Must Stay in Atlanta!!
I have lived in Atlanta for 25 years, and travel extensively all across the world. I never thought I could stay in the city I live in and feel like I am in a different place. Stonehurst Place is truly a magical getaway that will provide the rest and relaxation you need, as well as unparalleled accomodations and generous hospitality.
The historic home bodes both charm and comfort while the amazing upgrades exude modern luxury. We stayed in the Hinman suite which offered a quaint space with authentic hardwoods, a plush canopy bed, a fire place, and a bathroom to kill for. The all marble and Corian bathroom featured heated floors, a large spa tub, double sinks, and a never seen before all white Corian shower with 6, yes 6 shower heads. Fresh flowers were located in the shower and bath and wonderful bath products were offered as well.
At check in, Trenell, the inn keeper, greeted us and later treated us to a home cooked breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup, sausage, fresh fruit, and fresh juices and coffee.
All around the inn you can find private settings with TVs, books, cocktails, etc. The front and back porch are perfect intimate settings for relaxing or sipping on a cocktail. We were fortunate enough to spend the evening with the owner who has designed almost every aspect of the environmentally green, and incredibly chic B&B.
We are so thankful that we found the Stonehurst Place, even though we only live 20 minutes away from midtown Atlanta. This truly is one of the most precious places I have stayed in all of my extensive travels and it couldnt have been a better place to spend my husbands 30th birthday. We will be back and will cherish our memories there.

Beautiful!
This was the first time my husband and I had ever stayed in a B&B. Im a little nervous to stay at another after spending the night at Stonehurst. Im afraid anywhere else would be just a trip to grandmas house.
The house is decorated beautifully. Its contemporary but it has all the character of a home from the late 1800s. The room we stayed in (Hinman Suite) was incredible. The curtains, the bedding, the fireplace, the furnishings, the bathroom (oh the bathroom!) were all beautiful, stylish and romantic. The suite was very well furnished - ipod docking station, heated floors in the bathroom, robes, towel warmer, huge tub, enormous shower...the list goes on and on. The breakfast prepared by Trenell was so good. It was exactly what Id hoped for!
I will certainly recommend this place for any friends or family who are coming to town.
