Garfield Inn In Port Aust

Beautiful pre-Civil War era home named for Charles G. Learned who moved to the property in 1859. He was a prominent businessman who built additions onto the property. It is now a bed breakfast named after President James Garfield a friend of the Learneds and frequent guest. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Had dinner there on Father's day, a bit pricey and not much variety. I don't think they'll get many locals there, maybe vacation people.

First time staying there felt like home. The owner Theresa was a great host . will recommend others to stay there. Was an awesome time to exspences history .

There are several good things to say about the Garfield Inn, like the elegant presentation of a fine breakfast, the lovely setting, the comfortable rooms. But we appreciated the owners' restraint in not overstuffing the mansion with period pieces which detract from the architectural features. It should be noted, by the way, that, since the owners have eliminated the bar and restaurant, all subsequent reviews have been five-star. Good decision!

After a weekend stay, I can not recommend this charming B B enough. As other reviewers have expressed, the physical properties of the estate are wonderful: • Great care to preserve the original character of the home, especially the woodwork. I had felt as if I were transported to another time and place. • Location: only a couple blocks from the downtown area. However, it was the service, especially Theresa that made this trip truly memorable. From the moment of check in, Theresa greeted us warmly and shared stories that added layers of depth and history to the Garfield Inn experience. Each morning, after she'd served all guests the final course for breakfast, she'd play the piano and organ in the adjacent room! Words can not express how welcomed, warming, and comfortable Theresa and the Garfield Inn made us feel that weekend. A wonderful experience all around. Thank you Theresa! Ed Becca
