The elegant Twenty-Four-Thirty-Nine Fairfield Bed &
Breakfast, circa 1905, is situated in the historical district on a
beautiful avenue of splendid mansions and fine homes built around the
turn of the century.
Landscaped English rose and herb gardens, a Victorian
swing, gazebo and water fountain are nestled among the oak trees.
Your step back in time is further enhanced by an 1893
concert grand piano, a 1900 pump organ and a victrola in the Wanda
Alissa Drawing Room, all of which will encourage you to meet and talk
with other guests or experience the gracious southern hospitality of
your hosts. When you prefer, there is always a quiet place for intimate
conversation.
At Twenty-Four-Thirty-Nine Fairfield, "a bed and
breakfast," you will experience the charm of Victorian elegance.
The carved oak staircase invites you to explore the many
collections of special interest, while the crystal chandeliers, the
Victorian swag drapes of lace and moiré and period antiques remind you
of a more gentle era.

Breakfast:
The spicy aroma of gourmet breads, hot out of the oven,

guests for a proper English breakfast.
Breakfast starts with fresh fruit, cheeses, homemade
muffins, cereals, juice and coffee; followed by eggs, ham, sausage,
fresh sautéed mushrooms and English muffins with homemade jellies and
butter.
A luscious cup of hot tea from the kettle is the proper
English way to end a delightful breakfast and begin your day. All this
is included for our guests daily.
Rooms:
Each room is different - yours may have a queen size
four-poster bed, a wet bar, a view of one of the private gardens, an
antique brass bed with a feather mattress or perhaps an 1860 petticoat
vanity.
At the end of the day you may relax in the whirlpool
bath in your room. In the evening, the cool breeze and rocking chairs
will tempt you to your private balcony.
Down pillows, handmade Amish quilts and down comforters
will invite you to curl up in the bed to read a good book or catch up on
your favorite television program. Televisions are tucked pleasantly away
in the armoires.
If business is on your mind, there are tables and handy
telephones in each room for a nice, quiet work station. A fax machine
and copier are available for all your business needs.

The Vicki Gail Suite consists of an English petticoat
dressing vanity and armoire both circa 1860.

Amish quilt in peach, green and blue.

wood mantle with columns, delicate carvings and a beveled mirror.
A dainty Queen Anne sideboard sports a wet bar for
your convenience.
Jamie Alice Suite:
The Jamie Alice Suite is the grandest of all the
rooms...
This Honeymoon Suite is decorated in rose and blue
with symbols of love. Ribbons and roses adorn the walls, accent the
decor and drape their color over the antique glass windows.
After helping yourself at the wet bar, relax in the
overstuffed Queen Anne Victorian love seat and chairs.
This suite offers a king size bed with canopy,
designer linens and down duvet, and antique stained glass window over
the whirlpool tub; these are just two of the embellishments of this
favored room.
Paul Stetson Suite:
The Paul Stetson Suite boasts an antique hand carved,
almost king size, canopy bed with lace and ivy in the canopy.
Deep navy and country blue make the room very peaceful
while you relax in the bed and watch the bluebirds out the window.
There is a quaint balcony overlooking the grandiose
Fairfield Avenue with two individual swings to relax in on those cool
spring days.
Jana Roberta Suite:

furnishings.
The walls are covered with the tree of life pattern of
