“#1 Bed and Breakfast/Inn”
“I was on my way from Greenville, SC to Jacksonville, FL. and was somewhat familiar with Statesboro from a past visit. After seeing that the other B&B I stayed before had some less than desirable reviews, I called and booked a night at the Georgia's B&B. Helen, the innkeeper was very hospitable. I was the only guest that night and she made me feel like one of the family. This was truly an honor to stay at this historic, charming home. My breakfast was amazing. Helen was preparing for a luncheon with a local women and offered to make me a sandwich and some brownies for the road! That is what I call hospitable and I will always remember my stay.”
