$59 for a One-Night Stay at the Village Inn Bed & Breakfast

For $59, today’s side deal gets you a one-night stay at the Village Inn Bed & Breakfast (a $178 value, including tax). The inn is located inside a historic home in Stone Mountain Village . Buy up to two of today’s Groupon and enjoy two full nights of rest. Originally built in the 1820s as a roadside inn for the travelers who came to climb Stone Mountain, the Village Inn still stands today as a charming bed & breakfast stocked to the rafters with southern hospitality. Enjoy a stay in your choice of room —Scarlett’s Room, the Blue Room, or the Rhett Butler Room. These three rooms all contain queen-sized beds and a television with VCR, and the Blue Room has a spacious sitting area that craftily conceals a twin-sized hideaway bed. A gas fireplace is available for chilly nights and mood establishing, and the private bathrooms all contain double-sized whirlpool tubs with showerheads for bonus bubbly bathing. Each themed room makes a delightful romantic escape from workaday worries and bland beige bedchambers. All guests to the bed & breakfast receive complimentary soft drinks, water, snacks, and fresh-baked cookies, as well as a full hot breakfast, which may include items such as tender french toast, scrambled eggs with cream cheese, blueberry pancakes, sausage, bacon, and more. Coffee, tea, and orange juice run plentifully throughout the breakfast service, and a coffee maker is available in each room. Enjoy the views of mountain scenery from the second- and first-floor porches, or take a brief jaunt to nearby attractions such as golf courses, the daily activities of Stone Mountain Park, and numerous nearby restaurants. Must call ahead to reserve a room. Children eight and older are welcome to the Village Inn. Reviews BedandBreakfast.com reviewers give Village Inn Bed & Breakfast an average of 4.4 stars.

$10 for $25 Worth of Your Choice of Chocolates, Desserts, Small Bites, or a Wine Pairing at The Chocolate Bar (Up to $25 Value)

A fine chocolate is like a fine wine: full flavored, delicately structured, and inadvisable to consume while operating a Segway. Experience both of these worlds while seated with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get your choice of $25 worth of chocolates, desserts, small bites, or a wine pairing (up to a $25 value) from The Chocolate Bar at either of its two locations, downtown on Trinity Avenue or in Decatur . The Chocolate Bar’s menu contains a veritable cornucopia of house-made chocolates, dessert plates, small bites, specialty cocktails, and expertly chosen wines . If you opt for the prix-fixe wine flight, you’ll get three wines ($12) and your choice of three truffles ($5), three assorted popcorns ($12), or three cheeses ($13) to sample this chocolate cabin’s wares. Otherwise, you can branch outward like a curious and hungry poltergeist tree with $25 worth of treats. Turn your palate to a culinary cocktail such as a summery beer float ($6), Leinenkugel’s sunset wheat poured over a scoop of orange sherbet. Offset a liquid treat with some solid comestibles, such as smoked sockeye salmon ($10) in truffle and shallot vinaigrette. If you stopped by with a gaggle of friends, sweet-feast on a large dessert plate of peach melba ($8), a treasure trove of almond-vanilla sponge cake, peach sorbet, and raspberry mousse. Dessert bars combine the best elements of childhood and adult wheeling and dealing into a delicious explosion of tipsyness and sugar highs. Savor the ephemeral sensation among the warm hues of The Chocolate Bar; both locations feature shades of burnt orange and chocolate brown, burnished wood bars, and rotating art from local artists. Resist the urge to make like a Wonka tourist and lick the walls, as it is paint, not magical candy, that makes them appear so delicious. Groupon customers will also receive a one-time 15% discount on private-party booking at the downtown Atlanta location. Groupon Says General Millings 1E, 2C, 3A, 4B, 5F, 6D Read more…
