A new year brings opportunities for new adventures.
Be it history-oriented tours, antiquing and shopping excursions, golfing, fishing, hunting, or simply enjoying road trips along the highways and byways of our state, the northeast corner of Mississippi is a great place to start.
But after a day’s hunting for treasures and trophies of all kinds, every adventurer needs a great place to rest and relax, and The Old Place Bed and Breakfast in Amory is the perfect spot.
Guests at The Old Place take a step back in time when visiting this American craftsman, bungalow-style farmhouse. Owners and innkeepers Theresa and Jimmy Glenn renovated their beautifully appointed Bed and Breakfast with homelike hospitality in mind. In fact, that’s exactly how this B&B got its name.
Constructed in 1925, this home and the 40-plus acres of the farm have belonged to the Glenn family for three generations. And even though it had been vacant for years, all the Glenn family members still referred to the original home built by patriarch Nelson Glenn as “the old place.”
So, it is no surprise that guests instantly feel at home at this beautiful B&B.
In addition to that initial sense of coming home, The Old Place offers visitors three bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen and dining room, a large, comfy living area, an enclosed sunroom, a front porch (with a porch swing), and a back porch connected to additional outdoor spaces. Plus, nature beckons to guests with a menagerie of friendly farm animals, including an entertaining family of geese.
Truly, a stay at The Old Place is a must for travelers seeking peace and respite at a home away from home.
Guests from all over the United States and several other countries have made themselves at home at The Old Place. Mississippians love this B&B as well. In fact, it’s a favorite place for Mississippi writers seeking a quiet time of rejuvenation and inspiration.
But innkeeper Theresa Glenn also opens the doors of The Old Place to other guests needing a rental space to host special events such as reunions, celebrations, and showers of all types. It has also become the favorite spot for afternoon tea parties as well, for both little girls and big ones.
For adults and children alike, The Old Place is a great spot to gather with friends and family or simply sit a spell and enjoy life at a slower pace.
