You know a place has captured your heart if, days after you left, you’re still dreaming about it. That’s exactly what happened to me after staying at the Yellow Daisy Bed & Breakfast. Before arriving, I knew I would find charming accommodations with delightful special touches that would capture not only my attention but also my imagination. What I did not expect is that each little nook and cranny of this lovely lodge would also transport me to a mystical place of beauty, serenity, and inspiration. Dahlonega, the quaint town we visited for a destination wedding in the rolling hills of Georgia, and home to this delightful Bed & Breakfast, has the Hallmark feel one might long for as the holiday season draws near. Staying at Yellow Daisy only intensified this feeling through its impeccable décor reminiscent of a bygone era when life was much more tranquil, and one could enjoy a hot cup of tea accompanied by delicate homemade cookies, delicious pie bars, and the all-time holiday favorite…peppermint bark, at odd hours of the day… or night. From the moment we walked through the doors, Mike, who owns Yellow Daisy along with his wonderful wife Tracey, welcomed us with a wide smile and immediately made us feel at home. My husband and I stayed in the Lavender Room – a beautifully decorated room overlooking the manicured expansive lawn that boasts a fire pit with seating for a dozen friends. With its warm and quaint décor, the room immediately made me feel like an honored guest. Not only was the on suite exquisitely decorated, but it was also spotlessly clean… something of utmost importance to me. The bed sheets, towels, and bath rug brilliantly white, the mattress soft as a cloud, and the room temperature perfect for sleeping during the cool November nights. Our dear friends, who traveled with us to attend the wedding, stayed in the adorable Morning Glory room, just across from ours and made this experience that much more special and memorable. Then there was the breakfast. Oh, the breakfast! There’s something about waking up to the smell of bacon or butter pancakes that just can’t be described. We stayed at the Yellow Daisy for three nights and each morning as I got ready for the day, I anticipated my favorite morning ritual – breakfast! Three mornings, three very different menus,and all equally delicious. By the time we strolled downstairs, the table was tastefully set with generous servings of homemade delights that included eggs, biscuits and gravy, hearty bacon, savory quiche, delicious lemon-butter ricotta pancakes, seasonal fruit, and so much more. Steaming coffee, and orange juice topped the menu. This was unquestionably the perfect way to start our day. Now, about Tracey… she is not only extremely welcoming, gracious, accommodating, and authentic, but she is also exceptionally talented in all things art, beauty, design, and décor. A true project of love, one can immediately tell that Tracey and Mike have poured much love and care into Yellow Daisy, and it clearly shows in the way they keep their Bed & Breakfast and the way they care for each one of their guests. I could continue writing, but I think whoever reads this review will get the idea. Would I recommend Yellow Daisy Bed & Breakfast in Dahlonega, Georgia? Definitely, Yes - without a doubt or hesitation. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I went to Dahlonega for a wedding, but I will definitely return for the stay at this amazing gem in the heart of this storybook town.
