Beaumont Inn

The yellow leg fried chicken recipe hadn't changed in over 100 years and don't miss the corn pudding

The Beaumont Inn is a feeling, a memory, a place in time. When I walk in my mind decompresses, nostalgia kicks in and my stress goes down. I think it's the way the place smells. It reminds me of walking into my Grandma's house 30 years ago. I feel bad for the folks writing negative reviews of this place. I don't think they can understand what it's all about. They don't understand what it is to relax and soak in the atmosphere, the history and the quiet calmness. They don't understand how to enjoy sitting on the front porch and watch people walk by, wonder why they're here, say hello and ask why, look at the old trees, think about the people who lived here a hundred years ago, watch the sun go down. I don't care that the knobs are a little loose on some things, that the floor creaks everywhere, that I can hear a toilet flush in another room, that the caulk on the tub is a little dated and needs to be replaced. Seriously? That's what makes this place feel like I'm staying with family, at my granny's house. I wake up expecting to smell bacon and coffee. Then I go get me some!
Everytime I walk into the Inn I notice something new that I didn't notice before. I always appreciate where I am and the fact that this place still exists and that the Dedmans are committed to making it available to me. This place is a rare experience. If you come with simple expectations and simple needs you'll be very happy and very relaxed. Just enjoy the setting, the surroundings, the nostalgia, the history, the rarity. It's really a sensory experience. This place is for people who view the world with their heart, guts, emotions, memories, empathy, etc. It's not for the self absorbed, hyper-analytical, hyper-critical, over-opinionated, social media obsessed types who want to focus on "amenities".
Apologies for seeming so sappy and overly emotional about this. But, it's been a rough year and a half, and my recent stay at the Beaumont Inn, after several years since my last visit, brought back a flood of memories and good feelings and reminded me that there are still calm, friendly places tucked away in the corners of a mean, angry world.
If you understand what I'm trying to say here then you'll understand and appreciate what the Beaumont Inn offers. If you don't then I hope you'll be able to one day.

Classic southern location. I would highly recommend

Love the salmon croquettes very juicy. Ribeye was just so so. Mashed potatoes were very good. Kentucky cheeses local honey Crostinis pickled goodies and slices of country ham.
