BEECHWOOD INN
100 YEARS OF GEORGIA’S HOSPITALITY
Beechwood Inn was originally built as a private residence in 1916 for Reverend Herman Charles and Lura Bucholz and family. With the passing of her husband in 1922, Lura Bucholz converted their large home into a summer guesthouse, offering boarding to upscale city visitors seeking to enjoy the cool of the mountains. Beechwood Inn ran well into a few years after she passed in 1957, soon thereafter closed its doors to visitors and passed through a few owners. In the late 1990s, the property was acquired and restored to its Inn’s charms by David and Gayle Darugh who enhanced the home with modern improvements and reopened its doors to guests. For 21 years, they operated successfully as a Bed & Breakfast and Farm-to-Table restaurant offering dinners and culinary lessons serving local and seasonal food and wine. In 2022, the Darugh’s retired from innkeeping, and Eli Rodriguez and Marlon Castiblanco purchased Beechwood Inn. Once again, the Inn has been revamped and upgraded to enchant guests with a stylish ambiance while maintaining its 100-year legacy.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu
Having had called Miami, Florida home for 30 years, we knew in 2020 we were ready for the next chapter of our lives. Our shared passion for travel, different cultures and people reignited and sparked our dream to be hosts of a Bed and Breakfast; this journey led us to our new home in the North Georgia Mountains – The Beechwood Inn.
We have humbly honored the legacy of this charming 100-year-old building into a place you can call your home away from home. We believe we have created a casual, cozy and stylish ambiance gathered from our own life experiences that welcomes guests to a delightful mountain getaway. As hosts, we aspire for our visitors to make themselves at home!
Cheers!
Eli & Marlon
