Having already experienced Bulldog weekend in Athens many times we wanted to find a more tranquil inn where we could escape the noise while still having an easy drive to Sanford Stadium. The Gillen House in Maxeys was amazing. The entire place was recently renovated yet the decor and furniture seemed like it could have been there 100 years ago. The guest rooms and beds were luxurious and tastefully decorated and each room has its own large bathroom with modern fixtures. The owners are artists and their lovely works are found throughout the house, most of it for sale. You can also wander through their studio, the garden, ample grounds, pecan trees, bocce court, putting green and your choice of very comfortable porches. The Georgia country breakfasts were spectacular, made with fresh veggies and herbs directly from the garden. The owners are very responsive to whatever needs you might have — if they are available you can arrange additional meals and even transportation to the big game. Already looking forward to our next visit. Go Dawgs. More
