Hospitality is excellent. A phone call prior to arrival and being greeted at the entrance. Background music. Overall very well appointed home
United States of AmericaWe had a wonderful weekend in Madison. The Kirby house was so inviting, comfortable, clean and all the extras you can imagine. The house is beautiful with large rooms and many private spaces that make you feel right at home. Chris was our host and his hospitality and attentiveness was just the right level. He was there when we needed him but let us have our own space. We have a new best friend in Georgia. .
United States of AmericaI liked the quality and the décor. The host was exceptionally helpful, but not overbearing.
GeorgiaThe breakfast were great, and the Innkeeper, Cheryl, was great as well and very helpful. We loved it.
United States of AmericaLovely room with heavenly bed. Beautiful home, very welcoming and stylish. Extras like open bar and gourmet breakfast much appreciated. You love the innkeeper and her little dog immediately! We will be back!
United States of AmericaThe property was immaculate. Cheryl prepared the most incredible food, including warm banana bread as an afternoon snack. The other guests were engaging, and each morning's breakfast was filled with lively conversation. The rooms were comfortable, large, and quiet, and the house was filled with wonderful amenities.
United States of AmericaGorgeous facility tastefully decorated in an elegant yet comfortable style. Squeaky clean! Breakfast was terrific and local restaurants for lunch/dinner are also excellent. Innkeeper Cheryl is a great cook and very warm and welcoming. I "moved in" for the weekend - it felt like home, only much nicer!!
United States of AmericaHostess was delightful and helped us share our 55th wedding anniversary via her friendliness. Refreshments were great and plentiful. Especially liked the coffee and coconut macaroons.
United States of AmericaAmazing place to stay - a true ‘Madison’ experience in a beautiful colonial style home decorated and antiquities to a very high standard. Chris was a super host and cooked us a typical southern breakfast - a joy! X

Tucked away in Madison, Georgia's famed historic district, Kirby House offers the charms of a traditional bed and breakfast with modern comforts and an avant-garde twist. Take a short walk to discover picturesque antebellum homes in one of Georgia’s oldest and largest National Historic Districts, explore stunning attractions, one-of-a-kind shops, and renowned restaurants. Play tennis across the street in Hill Park, rent bikes in town, or celebrate the outdoors on the golf course, beautiful hiking trails, and a lake in one of Georgia's largest state parks - Hard Labor Creek.
I have always been a bit of a vagabond. When I was a youngster, our family moved from Michigan to Florida for my dad’s job. We took many family vacations around the USA, but when I was a student at Florida State University (Tallahassee, Florida), I had an opportunity to study in Europe. I pounced on the chance, and after a year in Germany, I was smitten with international travel. The sights, sounds, flavors and scents of cities all over the world are intoxicating, but the best experiences involve people. I have found that people all over the world are the same: They love their families, are proud of their country, and love to share it with travelers. As a Baby Boomer, I have had so many neat “careers”! I have worked as an insurance broker for an international firm, managed an amateur theatre company, taught literature and languages to high school students, created a piano studio, managed a bed and breakfast in an antebellum mansion in Georgia, and now I have the pleasure of taking care of guests at the exquisite Kirby House. Creating unforgettable experiences and memories for our patrons is definitely the best "job" of them all!
Budget Travel named Madison one of "the 16 most picturesque villages in the world". I would describe a visit to Madison as a Change of Pace. It's a rare opportunity to slow down, relax, and experience an authentic Southern town with a unique style full of Southern charm. And it's only 50 miles from Atlanta and less than 30 miles from Athens!
