BED
& BREAKFAST
for Huxford Members in Homerville !

Homerville is rolling out the red carpet
for members of the Huxford Genealogical Society.
Starting in 2008, the Helmstead Bed and Breakfast proprietress, Ms Jane Helms has graciously discounted
the costs of her lodging for members of the Huxford Genealogical Society. This
discount placed the price of her B & B on a par with and in some cases lower
that the choice motels / hotels of Valdosta and Waycross.
The Helmstead is a large two story mansion
located at 961 Fargo Highway with four bedrooms and all of the amenities, such as
internet access, in-house computer, telephone, pool, etc. Contact Ms Helms at
912-487-2222 or 912-487-6197 and email helmstead@aol.com.
Several Huxford members have taken advantage
of this fantastic offer and have enjoyed this wonderful southern hospitality
over the past year.
Now in 2009, Homerville’s other Bed & Breakfast
proprietor, Mr. J. Brian Brown, President and CEO, has graciously indicated that
he will allow our membership the same privileges at his "Inn on Virginia,"
located 130 Virginia Avenue (across the street from the Homerville Exchange
Club). The Inn is a large two story mansion with four bedrooms, two downstairs
and two upstairs with full amenities included. Mr. Brown indicates Huxford
Members are to contact
‘Tracy’ at 912-487-5500 or email
jbrianbrown@wilsoniga.com for more
information and for reservations.
Fees for both of the Homerville B&Bs are $60.00 (sixty
dollars) per night single or double occupancy (guaranteed for 2009). This rate a free full breakfast or an enhanced continental breakfast (the guest
chooses which they wish) each morning of occupancy.
The Huxford Officers and Board of Directors
thank these two fine hosts for their gracious contributions on behalf of the
members of the Huxford Society.
