The painstaking restoration of Monmouth from Southern plantation to luxury inn represents the majesty of an age that has passed. A registered National Landmark once owned by General John Quitman, the antebellum mansion and grounds "create a quiet, genteel atmosphere sought after by John and Eliza Quitman to the tiniest detail. From the color palettes chosen for each suite to the garden flowers growing in colorful abundance—all reflect the once-upon-a-time splendor of Monmouth’s still-unfolding history. 

 
The patina of time and quiet refinement cast a soft radiance over Monmouth, not unlike the stunning Waterford Crystal gasoliers that bathe the mansion’s restaurant each evening in a golden glow. In every nook and corner, in each of our 30 luxury suites and rooms, one finds stunning, priceless antiques and furnishings, setting a stately stage for your stay with us. 

 
At Monmouth, memorable moments are our specialty. What memory do you want to take home with you? Perhaps a fairytale wedding that begins with a carriage ride across the grounds, or a hot air balloon ride that lifts off from the front lawn? Would you care to enjoy a sumptuous candlelit dinner in our onsite restaurant 1818, or would you prefer to explore our 26 acres of manicured grounds with an icy mint julep in hand? All are possible, because at Monmouth, tending to your every comfort is our greatest pleasure.  

... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  Joshua 24:15
