Monmouth Historic Inn & Gardens
Step back in time with a stay at this imposing early-19th-century antebellum mansion set in 26 acres of manicured gardens. The charming property is home to 30 rooms and suites, split between the main house and seven outbuildings, repurposed as cottages and guest homes. Suites are a vision of old Southern grandeur with canopied wooden beds, original artworks, exquisite antiques and other period furnishings. Guests gather in the evenings for pre-dinner drinks in the Quitman Lounge & Study before heading to the award-winning Restaurant 1818 to enjoy seasonal Southern fare in what were once the old parlour rooms. A great alternative, however, especially in summer, is to opt for a romantic picnic in the beautiful hotel grounds.
