“Great location, great hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2013

Read about Shellmont on Trip Advisor and it was as described -- and better. Debby and Ed were great (breakfast was sumptuous) and just wish we had stayed longer. Best, though, was the location, just blocks from Piedmont Park and the Dogwood Festival and some great restaurants and bars. Great weekend!

“WARM WELCOME in THE BIG A”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2013

I just returned from a weeks stay at the Shellmont which was wonderful. I had the Downing room which was actually quite large and appointed in the victorian style, but not overly done so the room was very comfortable. My bed was extremely comfortable and so clean and fresh and white I wasn't surprised to learn that the linens are... More

“Final Four”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2013

My brother and our wives swooped into Atlanta for four nights of fun and college basketball. Not as many B&B's in Atlanta to choose from for a town this size. We nave now stayed here twice and find Debbbie and Ed a lot of fun, plus the place is quite nice. Parking can be a bit tricky and the rooms... More

We were delighted that you returned for your second Final Four at Shellmont Inn. As you know it was a very busy and late night for the city, so we kept our landscaping lights so the premises would be well-lite for your return to the inn. We are looking forward to having you back at Shellmont Inn for the next... More

“Shellmont Inn: Informal convenient lodging in an attractive section of Atlanta”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 7, 2013

The Inn is a late 19th Century family home located in 'Midtown' Atlanta. Access from the interstate is easy and the Inn is within easy walking/driving distance of the High Museum and Botanical Gardens. Even closer is a nice selection of restaurants. Rooms are clean and attractively decorated in furniture appropriate to the period. Our hosts were gracious and extremely... More

“A Little Gem Tucked Away in the City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

My husband and I stayed in the Carriage House at Shellmont for a milestone birthday celebration. The inn was adorably decorated in antiques, and the carriage house (just steps away from the main building) was as well except for the updated bathroom and kitchen. It was a cold winter weekend, but the garden between the main house and the carriage... More

“Perfect weekend”

We went to ATL for a friend's engagement party and got engaged ourselves! The Shellmont is a beautiful house and a special place. Debbie and Ed make it more than just a bed and breakfast. They welcome you into their home and their infectious love for the house (coupled with their incredible food) made the weekend very special. They helped... More

“Pleasant Surprise!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

I had to travel to ATL on a quick business trip and everything was sold out because of the Mart. Luckily, the Shellmont had one room available and what a pleasant surprise! The house is simply gorgeous. It was smack dab in the middle of everything. My only regret is that I wasn't there with my spouse to share this... More

“Comfort and Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Tagged along with my hubby on a business trip. Debbie and Ed were the best hosts. The house is fabulous, and Debbie's breakfasts are phenomenal. The location is excellent, lots of great restaurants nearby, and easy MARTA access, too. I would heartily recommend the Shellmont Inn, and will definitely stay there if/when we are back in Altanta.

We enjoyed staying at Shellmont Inn. The room was so comfortable ! The breakfasts delicious and the bedtime treats scrumptious ! We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porches, too. Debbie and Ed were very helpful in our orientation to Atlanta. The location was just right for us. We were within walking distance of the MARTA and some memorable restaurants.... More
