Information & Amenities
Set on 40 acres of velvety green lawns, moss-draped oaks, magnolia trees, pastures, and gardens, this genteel resort comprises 30 buildings, all on the National Register of Historic Places. The Showboat Theatre, now used for functions and meetings, hosted the first private screening of Gone With The Wind. The resort’s centerpiece is the rosy pink inn, built in 1825 as a plantation great house. Today, it includes an acclaimed restaurant, several guestrooms, and a veranda facing the Avenue of Magnolias.
The resort features formal gardens, a marble fish pool, and a sky-lit indoor pool that doubles as a terrarium with tropical plants. The pool includes an indoor deck and a veranda. Peacocks strut throughout the grounds. A well-equipped fitness center, clay-surface tennis courts, and croquet are on site. Docent-led walking tours of the grounds enrich the Old South experience. The restaurant offers Southern and traditional gourmet cuisine.
