    Our stay exceeded expectations. The romantic ambience of the Camelot Room and the beautifully landscaped gardens made our experience truly memorable.

    beautiful grounds
    comfortable bed
    varied breakfast
    hot tub
    minor issues

    I recently stayed at Sweetwater Branch Inn for a few nights and had a fantastic time. The grounds were beautifully maintained and really added to the charm of the place. My room, the Julia Room, was spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed and a large bathroom. Breakfast each morning included several hot options. the frittata was definitely my favorite. I loved sitting on the veranda with a cup of coffee while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. There's plenty to do around the property, too, like mini-golf and enjoying the gardens. I did notice the hot tub wasn’t working during my stay, which was a disappointment. That aside, the location is close to great restaurants, especially Harry's, which had some amazing crawfish etouffee. All in all, a beautiful place with great amenities, just a few minor things to tweak.

    historic charm
    attentive staff
    saltwater pool
    thin walls
    distracting noise

    The property was absolutely stunning with its historic charm, and the gardens were beautifully maintained. I particularly enjoyed the saltwater pool during my stay, which added to the serene atmosphere. The staff was attentive, making sure my experience was top-notch. However, the walls in the cottage were somewhat thin, allowing some noise from neighbors to seep through, which was slightly distracting. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with great accessibility to explore nearby attractions.

    homemade breakfast
    charming atmosphere
    thin walls
    neighbor noise

    Such a lovely stay! The homemade breakfasts were simply divine with fresh pastries and local ingredients 🍳. The only downside was the thin cottage walls, which let in some noise from neighbors. Overall, I can't wait to return!

    comfortable cottage
    friendly staff
    wine and cheese hour
    thin walls

    Had an awesome time with friends exploring the local parks and visiting the nearby arts district. The cottage was perfect—super comfortable and well-equipped. Staff was friendly, making check-in easy. There was a fun wine and cheese hour we enjoyed before heading out for some good food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid-back getaway!

    The cottage walls were a bit thin, so we could hear our neighbors at times, which was a bit distracting.

    cozy cottage
    delicious breakfast

    sweetwater branch inn is a gem! we stayed in lily's cottage and it was so cozy with a comfortable king-sized bed. the full kitchen would have been great, but the breakfast in the main house was the real treat—delicious and a variety of options! we loved the charming atmosphere and all the extras like mini-golf and free bikes. feeding the koi was a highlight for my kids.

    A Delightful Escape with Southern Hospitality

    I recently spent a lovely night in the Camelot Room and was truly impressed by the charming environment and attentive service. The breakfast was a standout, featuring a delicious homemade frittata that was rich and satisfying, all served on the picturesque veranda. The gardens added to the tranquil ambiance, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing stay. My only suggestion would be to ensure clearer signage for locating the inn to assist with ride-sharing services.
