In 2005 the Innkeepers, Judy and Gunther Dusek, bought this elegant Southern Georgian style home, formerly the Allen’s Liberty House. After restoring the property, the Duseks opened Garden Manor Bed & Breakfast. The restoration included the creation of personal quarters so that they could live on the premises as well as private living areas for the exclusive use of the bed and breakfast guests. Décor of the Inn is best described as Country Chic, blending yesterday’s charm with today’s technology! The inn has 9’ ceilings, antique doors, original wood-paned windows, extensive molding, ivory painted walls, beautiful dark brown hard wood floors (oak downstairs and wide plank pine upstairs), & sweeping verandas. Yet guests have the modern convenience of free DSL connectivity, flat-screen TV with D.V.D. and cable, walk-in room closet with mini-frig stocked with complimentary bottle spring water and favorite soft drinks, and a private bathroom with whirlpool or classic claw-foot tub, shower, garden-scented bath products, and towel warmer.
