Great place! It was built over 100 years ago and you can feel the nostalgia the second you enter. This was our first time at a B&B vs a hotel and we loved all of the extra amenities. We stayed in the Greek Suite which is actually in a section that was built 15 yrs ago. It was nice because we had our own side entrance/ exit to use near our parking spot. The room was spacious with a working fire place. The whirlpool tub was modern with a waterfall spout. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we added champagne and choc covered strawberries. The strawberries were some of the best Ive ever had! Cookies and drinks are available in the evening. The breakfast was served down the hall in its own room and was plentiful. The milk,juice and coffee station was self serve, you sat family style and chose 2 courses from a breakfast menu. The food was really good especially the biscuits. We ordered the grits, eggs, bacon option and belgium waffle. No complaints and we could barely finish it all. We also enjoyed the Library Bar near the main entrance. Its a cozy little bar with a fire place and craft cocktails. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Jackson because we already know where we will be staying! Oh and theres an awesome restaurant around the corner on Manship Street that will blow your socks off.

Very luxurious place! I love the garden, the gazebo, the maze, the hammock, the benches, what is there not to like? We roam around the inside of the Inn, and checked it out, and walked around the garden. One problem, the keys are difficult to open on all doors (inside & outside). Our car is parked right outside our window, and we have 3 windows on the bottom level. I took a lot of photos & shared on my Facebook album. I'll update tomorrow when we have breakfast.

FLAWLESS!! Unfortunately, I was not an overnight guest at the Inn - only there for a luncheon. BUT it was the best luncheon I've had the pleasure of attending , maybe ever ! More than 100 people gathered for the - food and service were flawless. We were served salmon over a mashed potato with what seemed to be a honey- chipotle glaze, whole green beans. Next to Table 100 it was the best prepared salmon I've had since leaving my home in Wa., where salmon their catfish, you can get it any and everywhere. OH, I almost forgot the incredible salad . Mixed greens, topped with walnuts, cranberries, pears and a dollop of goat cheese. Drizzled with a house vinaigrette that was more tart than sweet and balanced the fruit to PERFECTION! I NEVER ever opt for fruit on a salad and I'd order this again and again. I hear they have a great brunch on Sunday and even better 'special Holiday Brunches'. While I previously may have shied away based on their prices - they earn their keep. Will return - one day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I do love this place. Each room is unique. I stay at least 6 times a year. Would be 5 stars if I could take a bath 1 time. I found hair in tub. Yuck. It almost made me not return. Glad I gave the a second chance. I would recommend highly.

Stunning. The rooms are decorated flawlessly. Grounds are fantastic. Breakfast was really good. A library with thousands of books on the Civil War, many of them first editions. I'm going back.

I stayed one night at the Tack Suite and enjoyed it. You have your own private elevator to the main house and separate back entrance from your carport. That's very convenient. I enjoyed the privacy. I had dinner at Sophia's Restaurant and everything was excellent. It's is an upscale venue, so make sure you dress up. The main house is large with many places to sit down, read a book or newspaper, meet with friends, or simply relax. I enjoyed the separate kitchen for the guests with free coffee and pastry. While the staff is nice and professional, don't expect a really personal experience like at other smaller B&B's where the inn keepers take care of everything. The only thing I was disappointed about was the breakfast. It was a standard bacon/sausage/biscuit deal. While that's enough to fill you up, I would enjoy a couple of unique offerings, since they do advertise a "true Southern Breakfast".

Had it not been for LivingSocial, we would have never found this not so little slice of heaven. First of all, they get an A+ on flexibility. We had to change our reservations three times because of natural disasters, the Army schedule, and construction zones on the interstate as we drove halfway across the country to get here. This is my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it never dawned on me that there are no employees at the front desk manning the phones late at night. When I called to change my reservations, I was never met with a feeling of putting the person who answered the phone at 11pm out of their way for calling so late. It wasn't until I checked in that I realized how rude I was being when I would call so late. Even then, it was not from anything they said or their attitudes, just my observation that there is no night staff for the front office after 10pm. When we drove up to the front of the B&B, I felt like we had found an oasis of beauty in the middle of a blah city. The pristine front drive was surrounded with emerald green grass that has been manicured to perfection. The U shaped driveway took us right to the front door of an early 1900's colonial mansion. The large front porch filled with rocking chairs, comfy bench seats, and plantation house pillars just whisper to you, "come over, have a seat and relax for a minute." But that is nothing compared with what you experience after opening the front door. I'll let you enjoy their website and some pictures on here for the rest of the description, but let me tell you that as beautiful as the place looks in pictures, you MUST see the place in person to experience how marvelous it is. We were met by a joyful, charming woman who helped us check in. We were delighted to find out that we were upgraded (without asking for it, and without hinting about how nice it would be to experience the suite) for our evening getaway. After walking through the entire mansion, and walking into our suite, my husband looked at me with the pleading of a small child when he asked, "Honey, can we please extend our stay for one more evening?" We couldn't wait to make our way back to the front of the mansion to ask if they had availability. I love the staff here almost as much as I love the house. They respect your privacy, waiting until you make the small talk before they get super chatty with you. But once you get that train started with conversation, take a seat! They love to converse with their guests! From the cleaning ladies to the wait staff at the restaurant, from the front desk gals to the owners... they each have a different story and each seem to love nothing more than to take the time to talk with you. I'll bet my husband and I spent at least 2 hours last night chatting with different employees around here, and we had to peel ourselves away from the lovely chatting to get freshened up for supper. Oh, and let me tell you about supper! The soup was velvety, the salad was crunchy and fresh! The rolls were little puffs of clouds that melted in your mouth as you bit into them. The wine was refreshing and smooth. The main course was full of flavor, texture, and more than filling. The dessert was so delicious that we forced ourselves to eat every bit even though we were full after the first couple of bites. We stayed well after they had closed, but never felt rushed to get out. We have extended our stay another night, with plans to come back at least once a year to enjoy our little getaway. DO NOT miss out on this wonderful experience. You will regret that you haven't made this place a priority on your vacation list! I'm off to go enjoy more of the Fairview.
