This is such a wonderfully amazing place! I wasn't excited about having to travel for a weekend wedding, but as soon as a pulled up where they had booked us at the Como Inn, I fell in love with the place.
I simply love old places with history so this was right up my alley!
The Como Inn is a full featured experience. Fully stocked with wonderful food, in an old building with multiple super comfy rooms.
Check in/check out times are flexible which I also found as a nice Southern touch! Just use your manners. :-) The owners are just good, kind southern folk. If I didn't have to be in the wedding, I would have been just fine sitting out on the back great patio and shooting the sh*t with them.
One thing to note, there is a long, shotgun staircase up to the room level so be aware of that should you have elderly or other similar needs. I consider myself old in my 50s and it is indeed a haul, but waits for you at the top of the stairs is an awesome experience!
As far as the nearbys... plenty of food options from pub grub to Thia and Mexican and a steak house that clearly must be something because there were a line of people a block long wanting to get in there! There's also a store a few blocks up with all your basic needs including alcohol.
I honestly wish we would have had more than one night and a rushed schedule as I could see myself spending an entire weekend trip there just to chill and we plan to do just that. A simple and wonderful experience! read more
