The Stovall House Inn & Events — Hotel in Cornelia

Me and my wife stayed at the Stovall Inn for 3 nights over the long Memorial Day weekend and it was a great experience for numerous reasons. The owners, Erin and Jeff are super nice people who genuinely care about your time there. Jeff was the waiter for breakfast while Erin cooked outstanding meals. After eating breakfast I enjoyed sitting on the porch and drinking coffee while hanging out with Raj and Roxy (Jeff’s dogs). This was also an anniversary weekend for me and my wife and Erin was essential in planning and delivering a fruit/cheese/wine basket for my wife. And one of the nights we were there Jeff made us a fire to sit around. Also, Jeff could double as a local tour guide. Two of the mornings we were there we basically just asked Jeff what we should do that day and he never missed the mark. Sent us to do fun stuff both times. And steered us to two good restaurants. Most B&B’s, in my experience, don’t allow kids but this place does. So the night that Jeff made us a fire, several kids ended up making s’mores. What’s funny is at the beginning I was thinking “I’m gonna have a romantic night by he fire” then the kids showed up. But honestly, we had a pretty good time making s’mores with them ourselves and made some new friends with their parents and grandparents. We stayed in the Terra Cotta room which is the only room downstairs (I didn’t feel like walking upstairs all weekend. The Terra Cotta room was very comfortable and had everything we needed but it was right next to the main entrance and the staircase leading upstairs so we could hear everybody coming and going. On the Sunday morning we were there, one of the other guests stood on the porch outside our bedroom window and had a super loud conversation on the phone that woke us up earlier than we wanted. So if having a more quiet room is a goal, shoot for the upstairs rooms. Aside from the noise associated with the lower room, the weekend was perfect and this place still get 5 stars. Honestly, if there was an option for 30 stars I’d feel comfortable doing that. I’ve stayed at B&Bs before and none of them compare to the Stovall House and it’s because of the hospitality of Erin and Jeff. If they weren’t been there, I don’t think the Stovall House would be so successful. I absolutely 165% recommend the Stovall House. Jeff thanks for being an awesome tour guide and Mrs. Erin, thanks for the breakfasts and gift basket. It absolutely would not have been a successful anniversary weekend...

As we pulled up to the Stovall House, I felt like we were stepping into another place and time. The beauty and charm of the old farmhouse exuded warmth and character. While I'd like to say it felt a bit like "Little House on The Prairie", it is actually a BIG house on rolling green hills with massive old trees and a beautiful view of the foothills. Every morning, Ms. Erin crafted a fantastic breakfast complete with fresh meat and eggs from the farm. My son has severe food allergies, and she was careful to curate options just for him because she takes allergies seriously. We felt very cared for by this! We enjoyed our view of the hills and the pasture as we'd watch the sun burn off the rolling fog during our delicious breakfast on the massive wraparound porch. Each evening, a fire was prepared in the fire pit, surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. Personalized packages of the makings for s'mores were waiting for us each night to enjoy by the fire. The stars a in nd the view were magnificent. Such a reflection of God's divine glory! One of the highlights for me was the sleeping porch where my kids stayed. It was so cozy and nostalgic. We played games on the rug in the lamplight before bed, and in the morning, the sun poured in through windows on all three sides. Our entire stay felt magical to me. As a mom, it was wonderful to feel like food and table were prepared for me, and I didn't have to do a thing! The beds were comfortable. Everything was completely clean. We felt so relaxed and refreshed there. I hope we can make it back to Helen one day. If we do, I know right where...
