The Gates House Bed & Breakfast

Columbus, Georgia

The Gates House Bed & Breakfast is a bed & breakfast located in Columbus.

Gates House East opened its doors on June 28, 2001 after a complete renovation. Built in 1873 by A. S. Matheson, it has only had four owners in its 130 year history. After serving as a residence for the Matheson family for 63 years it was sold to the Catholic Club of Columbus where it served as the Knights of Columbus Lodge for 60 years. Purchased in 1997 by its 3rd owner, it served as a residence and limited bed and breakfast and we purchased it in December, 2000 to make it into a full bed and breakfast. It has been fully restored to its original beauty, to which all of the modern conveniences have been added.

Places to eat within 5km of The Gates House Bed & Breakfast include Minnie’s Uptown Restaurant, Houlihan's Restaurant, 7th Street Provisions, and Samurai Japanese Cuisine & Sushi Bar.

Room 2-E (Versailles Room) - the Versailles Room, another honeymoon guest room features another custom-made king-size bed that has a corona that supports yards and yards of exquisite gold and maraschino fabric.

Room 3-E (Mardi Gras) - The colors and the beads in the window treatment make you think of New Orleans and fun-filled days and nights. This room has a double bed and a twin bed; the perfect room for the traveling family. The 1876 chandelier has been adapted to electricity, but this takes nothing from the charm of this rare find.

Room 5-E (Vase Room) - The Vase Room is pure joy to the eye. This exquisite antique bed is our only standard full-sized bed. We just couldn’t resist its beauty when we saw it at an auction. The mattress had to be custom made to fit the unique lines of this beauty. There are special hidden spots for you to store your valuables or money. We’ll let you find them or we’ll tell you where they are. With this beautiful bed, we also found the matching marble topped vanity. You won’t be able to stop talking about this furniture. It is old world beauty at its best.

There is a wonderful oil painting in this room that was a gift from a visitor from the Republic of Georgia – part of the former Soviet Union. The street scene is an old hotel in the town of Zugdidi, Soviet Republic of Georgia.
