Come join us for a memorable bed and breakfast stay where excellence and comfort are mingled with the Southern charm of yesteryear and the exciting beat of the South's Olympic city. Upon entering this beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home, bed and breakfast guests are transported back to the time of the home's construction in 1892 by Colonel T.W. Latham, a prominent Atlanta businessman. Guests arriving at Sugar Magnolia are greeted with traditional southern hospitality by owners Debi Starnes and Jim Emshoff, who create a friendly, casual atmosphere for each guest's stay. Sugar Magnolia, lovingly restored to its original charm and beauty, proudly displays its antiquity in many of its unique features --- a three-story turret and grand staircase, six fireplaces, oval beveled windows, hand-painted plasterwork and the front hall's magnificent crystal chandelier.
The dining room, restored to its turn-of-the-century elegance, offers the perfect setting for a full breakfast - or, as special courtesy to guests, breakfast can be delivered to the room for Cottage Suite guests. The artwork and antique furnishings in the living room beckon guests to linger awhile. Those with musical interests will enjoy the sights and sounds of the owner's childhood upright piano Jim often treats guests to his repertoire of jazz and blues tunes. -
