The house is charming. We were there for two days. It was very quiet. We had the bluebird room. It had a private bathroom which had a small shower but was adequate. There was a larger shower in the hallway which we could share. The hosts do not live on site they live down the block which is different than... More

Open Gates is a lovely historical home that sits next to the largest square in Darien. It's a wonderful victorian home with large rooms. There are a few updates that are needed such as paint-normal wear. You can't be shy or impatient if you are sharing a bathroom upstairs with another room. Take a robe for sure if you are... More

The room was large and inviting. There was no one else staying there while we were visiting so we virtually had the house to ourselves. The area was loverly and quaint.

My husband and I went to Darien for a quite weekend away and chose Open Gates B&B for our place to stay. We've stayed in a lot of B&Bs and this one rates as one of the top on the list. Jeff and Kelly have created a wonderful haven in the historic area of Darien. We had the downstairs room... More

There is much to like about this bed and breakfast. It is located in the heart of town next to a small park (Vernon Square) and has a gorgeous library and a large salt water pool. Jeff, the host is personable and attentive and serves a delicious breakfast. The Island Room and its private bath are roomy and the bed... More

We had a great stay at the Open Gates. It was a haven of relaxation - and if Darien is a little off the beaten track, the calm and hospitality on offer gave us as a family the energy to do excursions to Cumberland Island, Okefenokee, Jekyll Island etc. Savannah would have been the same distance too. Plus Fort St... More

I recently stayed at Open Gates for two nights with my school age children upon the recommendation of a relative and friend. This was my children's first stay at a B&B. We all enjoyed the time there as the room was spacious, well decorated and well furnished. We stayed upstairs and enjoyed the comfy bed. Our hosts were friendly, knowledgeable... More

My husband had business nearby so we stayed for 2 nights at Open Gates. I only wish we had more time to do all the interesting things nearby. We'll definitely return for pleasure. We stayed in the room on the ground floor of the main house. The bed was so unbelievably comfortable and lush. The sheets were soft as can... More

We recently stayed at this bed and breakfast for a short break along the Georgia Coast. The hosts were so pleasant and saw to our every need. The house is gorgeous, built in 1876, and was decorated for the holiday season which only added to its charm. Our bedroom was spacious, clean and the bed was SO comfortable. Breakfast was... More
